I've done outside technical sales for 15+ years.
First sales mistake. To agree with any potential buyer terms without the buyer physically present. Initially, the fact that they are present means EVERYTHING. The words to use in the ad or on the phone/online are, "The vehicle will be sold "as is, on a first come first served basis." IME, this wording often (not always) discourages Lookie Lous, scammers, trolls, etc., who just want to waste your time and complicate your life.
Describe the vehicle, where it is, when it can be seen, how much you want for it, and your terms of payment. Then shut up. The ball is now in the buyers court. You haven't lied, you haven't promised potential buyers ANYTHING other than the current availability/condition of the vehicle. See what happens next.
