Have had this in the local auto trader for months and have progressively dropped the price from $2,500 to $1,800 during that time. We have had very few calls on the car and only a couple of visits to see it.
Yesterday a guy (he looked like Larry Storch from F-Troop) came over and offered me $10,000 cash for the car. I immediately agreed and took $5,000 as a deposit. He said he would come back in a couple of days to pick up the car with a "friend" of his and pay me the other $5,000. As he pulled away from my house in the car he drove up in, I noticed his personalized license plate said DEMON and now I'm more than a little creeped out.
No mention was ever made about my soul and I haven't given him the title yet. I wonder if we have a legally binding agreement and if I could just give him the deposit back. Seems too good to be true and I wonder what might be the ultimate outcome of this? If he is in fact the Devil, would I be committing a mortal sin in having a business transaction with him?
No offense to you or your Cutlass but I see the devil driving a Hummer or an old Cadillac or Buick like from the 50s, with fins. Painted fiery-red of course.
Thanks for the F-Troop reference. I loved that show as a kid.
Let me make sure I have this right. You have been trying to sell the car for quite a while. Then you finally have a buyer, and you want to reconsider because the tag on the car he was driving says "demon"?
OK, so it's a little odd that he offered you way more money than you were asking, but why look a gift horse in the mouth?

Before he comes back I would take the $5000 cash to the bank and make sure it's not counterfeit. If you have a casino in your area, you could probably go there too and politely ask them to check. If it all checks out then don't ask any questions and don't pry. Just let him pay the other $5000 and consider yourself lucky.
You never know... That car may have belonged to someone in his family before and holds a certain sentimental value. Or, perhaps, he owned it before and it holds a certain sentimental value. People can be funny about those kinds of things.
The bottom line is I would be very skeptical of the guy but not because of his "Demon" license plate. I would be skeptical of a guy who was willing to pay almost three times the asking price (in his deposit nonetheless!) than I would of a license plate that said "Demon."
As a side note. When I was in the military, I worked with a guy who was brought up in an extremely religious household. Once he got away from home he rebelled and did everything he could to aggravate his parents. His license plate said "Evil 1" on it and every time he pulled up in the driveway of his parent's home I'm sure they almost fainted. But, the guy was one of the best people I've ever met and sincerely and truly a decent person. You never know, he could be doing something similar.

No offense, but I have to amend just a bit- the car would be a 50's Cadillac painted black, definitely black. The red would be in the fiery flames painted on the side- with red and orange metallic flake paint, of course. And it goes without saying the black would be flat/matte....

Oh yeah and be sure and keep those bills with the 666's on them- you could probably get a fortune for them on ebay from some avid heavy metal fans...
