Dealing with buyers... 850

I'd probably tone it down a bit with the potential buyers, Erwin. If I went to look at a car and the owner didn't let me start it, or expressed any reservations about my taking it to a mechanic, I wouldn't even think twice about buying the car. I'm sure you wouldn't either if you were looking for a car.

I could be biased, though, cause I just bought an 850 and the dealer let me keep it over the weekend and beyond--I had the chance to drive it 120 miles back n' forth between Denver and Colorado Springs, drive it up the hills outside of Denver, etc. I'm not saying that a private seller should do anything even remotely like that. But if you appear overly protective it will be sure to put the potential buyer off big time.

Good luck!
