Re: People who try to buy your truck

Quote:
I work at a car dealership and so people see my truck sitting there and immediately think it's a vehicle for sale on the lot even though it has a GA tag on it and there are no window stickers in it. Plus, I park in the back away from the cars that are for sale but people still think it's for sale. For the first few months after I got the truck people just kept coming on the lot to ask about it or calling wanting to know if it was for sale.
Sorry man, but that's kinda "asking for it." If I saw the truck on the lot (even in the back) I would at least stop and ask about it. Most vehicles "in the back" and even with tags are assumed to be new trade ins or recent auction buys that will be for sale "out front" soon enough.

I, along with many others here would probably stop and ask about it if we saw it too. How many people have posted about a car or truck rotting away in a field or barn because the owner won't sell.... but what about the "barn finds" that DO happen? Most wouldn't have ever been bought if someone didn't ask. Yeah yeah, you're truck is a driver with plates, but it's along the same lines (where it's parked and where you work.) Heck, my 67 was my uncle's truck. I bugged the hell out of him to sell it to me. It worked too

It sucks you get hassled, but be happy people are interested in it Take it as a compliment
