It’s actually nice when people honor an agreement.
Haha but he didn’t, he agreed to 23k and pulled up with only 20k,
It’s the sellers fault for agreeing but it was pretty bad to show up without what you agreed to
@@bornaasi8734 VALID POINT. Wow.
showing up without all the money was actually pretty cold-blooded. he should have let the guy know before he came down that he would be short the three grand. because at that point he's actually just wasting everybody's time
@@duanejackson6718 Have another listen. The extra 3 grand was just a phone call away and the car needed to be shipped anyways. There was plenty of time to get the last bit of the money to the seller if needed.
The journey to your dream car is always an adventure. Great story Rob.
Thanks for the consistency Ed! We love it!
some of them use the shill bidding route to get it..right ?
@@benjy6358what
Why don't you ever upload any bonus content on your personal channel anymore Ed? You still get paid for it even if there aren't as many views as the VINwiki channel. There must be something dumb you've done that's been captured on video that you could edit the worst bits out of and upload 😆Even just little updates on your personal fleet that are a bit off topic for the main channel. You getting too rich to want the money? 😋
Rob's stories are always good. He seems to be a real car guy
thats just a straight up good dude. had someone in the wings waiting to pay 28 but he honored his agreement and even accepted some further negotiation. most people these days wouldnt be that stand up. hell i went to buy a miata once, drove two hours to meet the guy in the agreed upon parking lot, was ready to pay the asking price, and he just never showed up. called hours later and said someone else bought the car first. like DAMN bro.
It's always a delight getting to see folks get cars that truly mean something to them. I hope the 308 keeps treating you well! It's a real gem!
Great story. The picture of the groom & groomsmen with the 308 is priceless!
Love this story and the story teller! Completely relate to your love for the 308 GTB. On a spring break in 1984, I went out of my way to find the Auto Toy Store, so I could see one in person. I'm not handy enough to actually own a Ferrari - so I've become a Porsche diehard, but the 308 GTB is one of the absolute most perfectly styled automobiles ever. Enjoy driving your work of art, and I'll live vicariously through you, at least on this one!
Great story, as a younger man I rang a newspaper ad that had run for a few weeks & told the seller that I'd like to see the car, but couldn't afford the price he was asking, I went to meet the owner & we talked for over an hour, he finally asked me what can you pay, the guy knocked about a fifth off the car, when I was about to leave he pulls out a beautiful wood sports steering wheel & hands that over as well, 25yrs later I still have that little car, Rj in Oz
I think we're overdue for a rabbit or Doug story aren't we?
Rabbit has his own channel now. He'd rather keep the ad revenue to himself. Doug, idk where that guy is. He had some interesting stories.
Coughchristophercough
I can relate to this story. Bought my 1979 308GTB over 20 years ago from the original owner. Never leaving the garage.
Love stories like this. Not just about selling about appreciating someones situation and carrying goodwill/karma forward.
Great story-and glad to hear you still have the car; it's gorgeous and all yours! How great of that guy to help you out and that you're still in touch.
I wish everyone could have a GT Bill in their life.
Shows how goodness gets passed forward. It’s like a butterfly effect. What a cool guy.
What was your childhood dream car?
Lamborghini Diablo
E46 m3 or a delta integrale
288 GTO
My dream car has been a real steel '39-'41 Willys coupe.. A few months ago, I was actually able to get my dream car, a steel '40 Willys coupe. Still can't believe it..
Still the dream car r34 skyline gtr vspec 2 nür in bayside blue 😅
My best man showed up in work boots, this dude shows up in a Ferrari
I had a friend growing up and his dad bought Clint Eastwood’s 308 GTB, back when they were like $30 grand or less
Great outcome for a great bloke!! Well done Rob, everyone held up their ends of the agreement!! Rare indeed! 🤙🤙🤙
Sometimes showing your hand, and just how much your going to love and charis their old caris worth more than money!
It is a common misconception that you are not allowed to cross a border with more than $10k. You can have as much cash as you wish, but you have to declare amounts in excess of $10k, and be prepared to prove where it came from, and where it is going.
That is the US border. Other borders have different rules.
Great story. I really like you are still in contact with the seller, what a cool guy
People honoring agreements! Wow
Ed, love the Chanel. I am sure you know your audience. Folks, living in a single wide trailer (mobile home), with a 90’s corvette or IROC in the front yard!!
Giant satellite dish on the roof of the metal shed. And we love you. Keep the dream alive.
youve done it again, yet another car i did not know i wanted but now i must have one. what a beautiful story
You had to buy that man a...HUGE BEER 😂😂😂
Mine was the 308 as well seeing and experiencing it in the 80s. I ended buying a 328 GTS and I have a great story as well.
That phone call... noone else suspect? 😂
Well done, this was a great story.
I own my dream 308 as well. It's a GTS. The roof off is a better experience, but it definitely looks better with the roof on.
59 El Camino was my dream car for a long time as a kid. Still one of my top 5 dream car.
Fantastic story. Thank you.
You can travel with more than $10k in cash. You just have to declare it. There are no fees attached, or anything like that. You just have to tell 'em that you have more than that - and why you have more than that. It's perfectly fine. It's perfectly legal. It's illegal if you don't tell them about it and fill out the little form.
Beautiful story, I hope that 308 keeps on providing smiles per gallons.
I love this story. Keep up the great tales. True magic.
Great story Rob.
Decent Story, can listen to patiently. good guy vibes
Cool story! I’ve been fortunate enough to purchase some high end cars from similar sellers, where I wouldn’t have been able to afford otherwise.
What a great story 🇮🇹👌🏻 thanks for another great video
Amazing story!
I still have my 308 GTB bought it in 1994 for $33 grand lol
Wonderful story! ❤
Holiday ROOOOOOooooooooooOOooOooOOOOOOooad, Holiday RooooOOOOOOoooOooOOOOooooad!!!
Ed bolian just casually stating he bought another Lamborghini LP640manual "accidentally" 😂
Another awesome car story along the lines of the guy that dealt with the entitled Taycan (sic) buyer ! I love these personal type of stories rather than the strictly mechanical aspects of a car !
You had me at Magnum PI. Great story.
AND he shipped it? What a guy !
Wow, dreamcar achieved. Congratz, never knew it was possible. Now days it seems even more impossible but who knows what doors the heavens will open for those who seek.
Your allowed… just have to declare the money
GTBill wanted it to go to a good home
Big block swap a Ferrari? Let's go!!!
Go see Mike @ stance works
Honda K series turbo in a 308...
@@stuartd9741 ....THAT car is a 308 in the mind only....in reality it is a full blown, one off , race car....a true race car....and that guy poured his entire entity into that build and pulled it off.....in grand fashion, indeed!!!
Bloody marvelous, that.
@@ssnerd583 Indeed.
Just show what can be achieved..
Phenomenal.
Law of Attraction! And that's also the Ferrari I love the most! Cheers from Portugal
Hope everyone as a great day!
I am not much of a Ferrari fan but that car and the 512 BB are the two that encompass my “dream” Ferraris (if i am overcome with some bout of lunacy!) 😀
Beautiful story
Wow that’s crazy. Most people will balk at $100, what a wonderful guy.
Still dreaming of an update for the vinwiki app so I can use it on my Pixel 7 Pro.
Great vid. F355 Spider for me. Manual with a Tubi or Capristo
Whistlindiesel should put a Diesel engine in a Ferrari 308 with semi exhaust stacks.
I miss the days of under $30K 308s..My dream car has been, and will always be the Countach.
They were only under 30K to buy, not to keep.
the honourable way..at the end of the day, didnt need 700k loan for a car you didnt want..
I like this guy - he isn't pretentious like many guys on the site.
It should have a least 4th rows
If your looking for a great selection of classic cars come to Rutherford County NC. We hold a car show every August called "hot nights cool rides". Trying to bring the car community back to NC.
"I'm in Canada" NO WAY!
You should talk with Borris from Street Machinery!
If he's from Halifax I've seen this car. If he isn't, hey guys, I saw a 308 on the highway one time! :|
GTBill...
WhatafuckingLegend.
Taking the roof off of a car almost always ruins the lines.
Great video
Everyone seems to be so kind to this guy. I can't imagine what that's like.
The secret is to be nice to others and kindness from strangers will follow. I don't mean to sound preachy but its true. I'm sure you have tons of awesome to share and others will appreciate you for it.
I wish I could get a Ferrari at that price
Nice story, but to be honest, I cannot think of a less shrewd negotiation on any car than this one.
Irony is Iam also in middle of the same story for my Jeep Mm540 just hoping the dream car could be mine
-If you like the 308' ,watch scifi movie The hidden.
That’s cool I will have to see that movie
Get me a Magnum PI ❤ …. Got any ???
For those of us born in the 80’s the 308 GTB is truly the quintessential Ferrari, even more so than the testarossa in my opinion
Deal!
28k for a Ferrari wow
He seems so nice, but upstaging your buddy and being oblivious rhat they guy had a "competing" bid on the phone. That guy was not your buddy.
You are surely allowed to travel with more than $10,000, you just need to be prepared to show where you got it from, bank withdrawals, etc.
Wow bro, you decide to make your best friends wedding about you and one-upping him. Guess that’s one way to go about it.
Nothing wrong with that. If one of my bros showed up in a 308 I'd demand he let me drive it.
You can travel with more than $10,000 cash you just need to explain it
They are such horrible cars if you look at performance compared to the other Ferrari's that came a few years later....but the car does have a particular look and still to this day, is a sought after car in good condition because it doesn't demand the premium other Ferrari's did at the time.
Put this guy on screen with the UAW leadership and they'll make him look foolish. Yes, they're will be more hardship involved over the short term. But the working class has been enduring hardships while being royally screwed for 50 years. It's way past the time for the corporate overlords to pay up.
So this older bloke let you pay him almost a third less than he could have gotten for the car, and also took you and ya brother out to dinner afterwards. If this story is true i'm not sure i'd be telling people about it.
Man You bought a 308 for 20 grand which was all your money period. (As I look around in my living room looking at about 27 grand in bicycles)
❤
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Clickbait title. Expected an Ed story. Major let down.
very nice story
Lol let me guess Ur friend has been divorced
Just celebrated his 20 year wedding anniversary and has 3 wonderful children. Thanks for asking.
But you got divorced right ?@@benzina5917
@@HebryNegga-wy4zr No wrong again. Coming up on 17 years of marriage next month. Check out the other VINwiki story where my wife and I cannonballed our Lambo while she was 5 months pregnant. She's awesome and I love sharing my life with her. I wish everyone could find someone like that to grow old with.
