http://reading.craigslist.org/pts/3188474020.htmlI answered this add on CL yesterday for what seemed like a killer deal, $150 for for 2-3 ribs in working order. Some texting back and forth and some conversation I was to meet him at first at 3:30, then changed it to 5, I got him to meet at 4.. He said they worked and went into gear. I drove an hour and a half, 3 hrs round trip. I asked him to meet me a little closer and his words were
for the price I am practically giving these away,I thought ok he's right. Wait it gets better.
So I beg my wife to pick up he kids from summer camp (Which cost us extra, she picks up later) I drive the 1.5 hours 3 hrs round trip in my 4x4 truck and meet them at a gas station. I first notice two different bell housings with missing nuts, then I grabbed the in-put shaft of #1 and rotate it, turns fine for 3/4 turn then CLUNCK
back the other way CLUNCK :shock,: grab the cv cups same thing, tried to put it N (no go) " OH THERES NO OIL IN THEM
" (OK!!!). At this point I am starting to get mad but not showing it. I grab the other trans and NOTHING ITS EFFIN LOCKED UP
... Now I am pissed. I turn to the 19 yr old kid (6' 300lbs country boy) and inform him of what I would like to do to him at this point
, His dad who was standing next to him chimed in and took the blame for just telling him to post on CL and what to post. That was a long 1.5 hr trip home.
Now I asked all the proper questions when we did speak on the phone and all was good with the trans., I hop on today and the add is still up. I have been flagging it as prohibited.
Thanks for reading just wanted to vent...
Sign,
My first bad experience with CL.
