Purchase In Reverse

Had a guy buy a car from me in reverse. He first emailed me with an offer. I said, “okay,” then we agreed to meet. Then he asked for pictures of the car and engine. He probably should have asked before making an offer, but whatever. I obliged him. We met and he agreed to buy the car and gave me the money. He said he’d be back the next day to pick it up. Fine.

He then called and asked if I could take it to a mechanic to have it looked at before he came back for it. Well, no…you already paid for the car. He then comes the next day to pick up the car and after he leaves, he calls me to ask for a service history and/or a carfax and asks if there are any problems with the car. What the heck?
