Buying a old car/truck

[Resto-Rand]

I parked my truck outside a couple weeks ago because I was working on a different project. Some guy come up and asked if I was selling. 'I don't know make an offer after you look at it'.

Made a bunch of noise about having one already, chopped, bagged,slammed, ......and my hearing went out.

I went back to my project and closed the gates.

That's what attitude gets ya from an old guy.

You don't have to care, but you won't be hanging around long enough to work a deal.

I dont understand what you mean, was him telling you about his truck that annoyed you? Or was he comparing yours to his and implying that your was inferior? Did he just want to chat and was using the old "is it for sale?" as an icebreaker ?

I get folks that just want to chat about the trucks all the time. Some are better than others, but I usually try and accommodate fellow enthusiasts.

Wasn't annoyed. He was talking about doing things I wouldn't to one of these trucks. So I decided pretty quick I wasn't doing a deal.

I'm not saying he couldn't do what he wanted to his or that his 'style' sucks, just that it's not gonna happen to this truck.

I love talking to people, too. But I sold my super original First Series 55 to a guy that turned out to be a 'butcher'. Not going to happen again.
