Thanks Pighead see ya thier.
I know this thread should be chit chat, but here is my latest new on this past deal.
The fellow who sold the vehicle had spent time drivng around looking at two other 80 series cruiser in the same area for us, real nice guy. He even drove over a half an hour each way to look at a truck.
He calls me and my wife last night frantic as all can be, he was taken to the cleaners.
SCAMED, he fell for the latest web deal going around.
The guy had a tow truck pick up the 80 after the broker gave him a cheque, part way through the week the new owner called with bad news. He need half the money as he was in need of a emergency operation and would leave the other half with the original owner.
Well he sent off the half of the money and later watched as the remainder of the funds were pulled from his acount???????????????????????
Not sure if all the details are right, pretty close.
The guy calls and offers the truck up to us for a reduced price as he is devistated and wants the truck gone as it is a bad reminder.
We CarFaxed it and he is the original owner and everthing checks out, some people have all the luck or lack there of.
Prolly won`t buy the truck as we have already made a deal on another.
Seems like a really nice guy, I feel bad for him.
