Re: People who try to buy your truck

The trick is to have something that everyone hates.

I have had a couple guys come up to me at gas stations and ask me if my truck is for sale. I tell them that I haven't thought about it, they gave me their phone numbers and told me to call them when I wanted to sell. I haven't dialed them up yet. Those people would never purchase it anyways, it is their ego talking when they meet you.

I did have a kid offer me a $1000.00 for my show truck, once. He was a little miffed when I told him that the rims and tires cost more than that, not to mention the drivetrain was worth five times that---we did not talk the cost of paint. His dad had taught him that everything can be purchased CHEAP, you just have to haggle the seller down. Of course, dadddy did not tell him that he had to find someone that was interested in selling.
