Had a crew over yesterday for a fish fry, cousin and a friend of his dropped in to crash the party, it all worked out. Ran errands all day Friday then went to look at a truck. BF found one locally like I'd been wanting. Turns out salvage title, but I'm okay with it so long as it's done correctly. He wanted more than it's worth and the body work on most of it was great, tailgate would need redone, steps had been removed. I'd have to tweak some things here and there. Price he shot me was financed. I told him cash. He said 'let's talk'. He requoted, I told him no way, he asked my offer. I told him he wouldn't like it and he asked anyway so I told him. He said "have you looked at it?" and I said Yes and then told him what all issues I found and that was the justification for my offer. I told him I'd pay his price if he took care of all the things I saw. I'm not after a perfect truck but if you want that price, then those are the things that will have to be taken care of. Plus it's a salvage now and if it gets totaled again by me or anyone else, insurance will take 40% off the NADA clean retail this time which is another justification for my offer - considering the present condition. Needless to say we didn't make a deal. I cleaned and did some housework Saturday and had a pool break. BF brought us home a new "toy" also - nice little used thing for me to learn to ride on. Then, it's his to ride while I ride the four wheeler off roading |
