k so im planning to purchase this car http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3155911
he is in oxnord and im in san diego.... its a 4 hour drive and my friend doesnt want to come with me because of the really long drive... i was plannin to take him so he can drive my celica back while i drive the mr2 back but i guess thats a problem now.. havent test driven it yet, but a lot of people vouch for him and all his other cars are clean as well. i am also planning to do this in one trip. Can anyone give me some tips or good info on how to achieve this? This post has been edited by mrgrape: Nov 20, 2008 - 8:40 PM |

First you need to find 3 people and develop meaningful relationships with them. This means spending lots of time with them, helping them out when they need a friend or someone to talk to, and just plain being there for them. After about a year of doing that, you should have a strong enough bond so that they feel they need to repay you for all the great things you have done for them. Then start telling them a sob story about how badly you need to buy a car. Just drop it into casual conversation a few times. After doing that for about a month, flat out ask one of them to go with you. If they say no, you will still have 2 more people you could ask. You only need 1 out of 3 to say yes, so your odds are pretty good. The only downside to this plan is that you have to wait about a year before asking them for such a huge commitment.
