We are expecting to complete the purchase of the 399 next week.\u00a0 The two things that are needed to close are financing and insurance.\u00a0 I have commitments for both.\u00a0 But the financing requires an inspection and the insurance comes in the form of a binder.\u00a0 We had a tentative agreement to get the inspection done tomorrow, March 2.\u00a0 But the financing company was having trouble reaching the owner, and so was I.\u00a0 I started having visions of him slipping away in the middle of the night, like the Colts from Baltimore, with the 399 and my $2K deposit.\u00a0 Then, unexpectedly, I received an email from him on Tuesday, two days ago, informing me that the inspector had already been there.\u00a0 I was surprised, of course, as I had expected to combine the inspection with the walk-through.\u00a0 But now we will have to do the walk-through on the day of the close.\u00a0 No big deal, just unexpected.<\/p>\n
The other problem is the insurance.\u00a0 I have a coverage sheet and a price, both of which are acceptable.\u00a0 But the coverage sheet has a couple of minor errors that need to be corrected.\u00a0 I have dealt with a local agent to this point, but the coverage sheet arrived with the business card of a guy from North Carolina.\u00a0 Same agency name, same last name, same 800 number.\u00a0 Father \/ son? I don’t know and don’t really care.\u00a0 I just need insurance.\u00a0 But I have called that 800 number twice this week and have gotten only voicemail.\u00a0 No return call.\u00a0 I am starting to get nervous.<\/p>\n
The good news is that the owner has agreed to sell me his hitch for $150, so as of the day of closing I will have a complete rig.\u00a0 Woo hoo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
