Just got this email a few minutes ago...:meh:

Hey rob I had my mechanic buddy come here from coombs. Got the cruiser running!!!!!! :))) hooray . Not for sale .. Srry for inconvenience !

Sent from my iPhone
 
Sounds like he just got more money from someone else.
 
I gave this guy a $1000. Waited a week and still had not recieved a receipt or any proof of ownership. Also the VIN on the ID tag has never been registered in BC, AB, or SK. Plus the licence plate pictured in his previous add does not belong to this vehicle. So yeah my alarm bells were going off!!!

When I called him out on everything he said he sent paperwork but it didnt go through and suddenly he remember it got a re assigned VIN in SK but was sketchy on the details. Then when I asked him if I could have someone stop by and take a look at it, he offered my money back. Of course I jumped at the chance. That was Saturday and I am glad to say after several more attempts to contact him I finally got my money back this morning.

And yeah after one of those attempts to contact him yesterday he emailed me saying he got the truck running. Rob called him shortly after that and he said he didnt have it running despite his best efforts. So yeah I wish who ever buys it good luck because their going to need it
 
Would be interesting to know why it needs "an engine rebuild". Could be some potential there...

I imagine people are a little nonplussed about buying a truck that's effectively worthless if a $2 part like an oil plug falls out.

(although it IS an HDT, so that $2 oil plug is probably more like $80. :rolleyes:)


Other than that, just market. Pretty decent one near me has been for sale for 8 months for 8900.

You should see the price of boats if you think a 5k depreciation on a specialty truck is a lot....Imagine telling a guy who bought a boat for 100k (and had since spent 25 on it) that if he got an offer of 40, he should take it..

Which is why I'm not selling boats anymore..:lol:
 
A VW Thing has the gas tank in the front and the Jeepsters i looked up had the filler at the L/R so now i am not so sure what it is.
 
X2 jeepster
 
dont think it's a jeepster...fuel filler is on the wrong side, and the arse is too vertical.


My guess would be some sort of Austin or Morris.


and there it is. Makes sense. Clearly dealing with a Pome.

When i saw the tail lights i knew they were made by the prince of darkness(Lucas) so i looked up morris p/u and it was slightly different.
That pic is the one looks like a mini p/u
 
A Mini pick-up? Cool; don't think I've ever seen one of those. Buddy with the lotus has interesting taste.
 
Linemans 40 is on UsedVictoria for $1500... Saddle tank must be $1000 by itself. With a rear tank, range could be as high as 1000 miles (4 months for me)... Or $260... :eek:

It'd be a shame to see it parted... There are a few diesel 3B options, could be a nice 3B diesel 40 for under 3k... Plus some body work.
