Just for anyone dealing with Tim. The guy is not a standup guy and is extremely flaky and $$$ driven with little value to his word.
We had agreed on a price over the phone and I was meeting him friday evening to give him a deposit. When he called to set up a time and place, he told me he had another buyer willing to pay more and wanted to show him the car. I told him that I was not interested in doing business with flaky people and he needed to decide if he wanted to stick to his word or take his chance. He decided to still show the car. I walked away knowing tim is not someone I want to do business with.
Buyers beware!!!

Raj, and to everyone else on the e60 forum, I sold my 550i last friday evening at 8pm and was paid in full. Raj, when you asked to see the car, I droved over 30 miles to meet you, and then I drove another 20 miles so your wife could get a chance to drive the 550i. After spending over 2 hrs with you, and close to 90 miles later, you still think that i'm not a standup guy??? The new owner of the car is actually also a member of e60 forum and has been wanting to see the car for over a month, but had serious family issues to deal with first. Let me ask you guys, if you walk into a dealership and see a car your interested in, and promise the guy you'll be back with a deposit, but before you get a chance to drop off tje deposit, another buyer walks in and pays with a cashier's check for the full amount, do you think the dealer is at fault?? Can you really blame me for selling the car to the buyer who has the cash in hand?? Now, if I took the deposit and did not return it in full in event the transaction went south, then thats a different story Raj.
I hope the new owner enjoys his 550i.

Congrats your sale!
edit: Having sold a couple of cars private party, I fully agree with Timh here. If someone offers me cash/cashiers check and you didn't leave a deposit after driving the car, you are out of luck. My .02

Yeah, he went out of the way (btw, it was more like 30-35 miles all together) but it was to squeeze more $$ than what he had on the plate. Little did I know that once I gave him an offer, he was planning on going back to the other party and see if they would outbid me. He had already done that to me once on friday morning and I was not interested in going thru it again.
Tim, my suggestion to you is, this might be perfectly normal for some people and you might be better off doing this on venues like Ebay. My word and agreement means more to me than you, that's all.
I am glad it worked out for both of us.
