Good advice Mike. Let me add that I don't know why Adam is waiting until
Monday. I have lost too many bargains by waiting only to find that someone
else talked the "old boy" into a "quick look" on Saturday and bought the
car on the spot. Get over there Adam * now * and get the car or walk away.
You'll never forgive yourself if you wait, then find someone else has
scooped it while you were being a good boy. If you can't get the trailer
till Monday go look at it now and make a deal. Give him some $200 down and
get a receipt. You will then have the leisure time for picking up the
trailer, arranging your schedule etc.
