I would hesitate to deal with this guy. I have been talking to him through PM's, texting and phone calls since Thursday about a vehicle he had for sale. He lives south of Jackson and I live in Fenton. Its about an hour and a half from his house to mine. Which is a decent drive if I was to drive all the way there then back. So through the discussions back an forth I asked him to meet me. So here is a run down of the time line on how this went.

Through PM's and texting on Thursday and Friday he sent me some more pics and I asked some basic questions about it. He quickly responded to all texts and PM's. I sent him a text on Saturday and he said he would be available all day on Sunday for me to look at it. I sent him a text about 4pm to ask him if noon would work on Sunday and if he could meet me half way. He responded about a half hour later with "were at the Michigan Renaissance festival in Holly..will text later". I don't know if he has ever looked at a map or not but Holly is right next to Fenton. He literally drove past my house to go there. I responded by telling him "no problem...are you driving it now?" He then told me he was driving it and if was near there its 2hours form his door all freeway. I the told him I am right next to holly and was wondering if he could stop by for me too look at it since he was up this way. He did not respond at all on Saturday.

Sunday morning he sent me a text informing me that the key way on the p/s pump stripped and he would take $1300 for it like that. I told him no problem I could fix it and asked if he still could meet me half way. He then sent me back a text to tell me he was going to take it to get it fixed this morning. I told him to not worry about fixing it because I could. He didn't answer back so I called him about 11am. During the phone conversation he told me that he should be done fixing it shortly and he had to pick his wife and kids up from church at noon. We agreed to meet half way and he would call me back after he picked them up.

Still no response from him at 12:30 so I called him with no answer and left a message. He never responded so through out the day I had called him and sent him a couple more text's and PM's. I still have not heard from him at all but just seen he posted that He traded the vehicle off.

So just to give everyone a fair waring be careful of this guy wasting a lot of your time.

x2...and a lot of those quotes you had where responses to JoshuaCripe responding to someone else's posts.

If you don't like what your reading in this thread then quit coming back to it and posting. All your doing is putting it out there for other people to read and post in.

you fail. I quoted the (one) post of joshes (up to page 15) that fit the criteria of the others. Go back and look thru it. The guy did not insult others as they did him.
Thanks agian for keeping this on the front page!!! :thumb:

This board isn't for you, I didn't say that josh did anythin in other threads, just most the forums here are full of kids (young and old) bitching at/picking on each other. This board isn't for you, maybe try pirate 4x4 :teehee:

so basically, I call for the thread to be closed. Others say why, no body broke the rules. I post the rules, followed by those who broke them with their qoutes. And that the mods should act on that to close the thread. I in return start getting the bash hammer by being called dumb. Now, you people are starting to turn this thread against me. Even tho, all I did was produce facts when called out on it.

This will be my last post in here, not because you want me to leave, but because I can not stand the stupidity of most of these posts. And the immaturity of people on this forum.
Who are to call for a thread to be closed?:poke:
You obviously have not been around long enough to know how things work around here:finger:

QUIT POSTING IN THE THREAD YOU HATE SO MUCH:finger: you are just giving everyone more to rag on you about and keeping the thread at the top!

YOU PEOPLE?!?! are you a racist?

15,052 potential buyers, your target market is shrinking![/QUOTE


You guys act like this is my day job...or i need to sell cars to live and by removing that aspect youve in someway hurt me. It truthfully doesnt affect me, when i get done with one truck or jeep i move onto another and so on. I move so many items and trucks because i dont sell to make a profit i sell to buy into the next project.Its just a fun side hobby has a return.

So many people talking trash yet when they buy a winch(sold two) in last 2weeks nobody complained i cut them deals..THE ONLY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ARE THE ONES WHO I DIDNT SELL TO.I will continue picking who i sell two based on character and whether they rub me the wrong ways or not.

I mean arent you guys sick of people saying "whats the lowest youll take"?...my take on it is i just wont sell to them.

Not returning calls or pms right away...yes i was at fault here. At the same time i have a fulltime job, attend school afterwards, have two kids and a wife.I squeeze what i do or buy on craigs or greatlakes into that time schedule.
