Nice odds Jester
I don't really think there is much of a chance of having to pay the full amount he is asking for. Every recording I have has him saying he will take $1200.
If it were for more money, I would bring in a witness. The day I gave the manager the title, he went to the Harley mechanic that I also deal with and told him that they were proud owners of the Fiero. I am not about to ask the Harley mechanic to lose business for this little amount.
