I had someone come look at Danny's Jeep Comanche over the weekend. He said he had a friend that was possibly interested in buying it. Yesterday (Monday) he came over and brought his friend and he said he wanted to buy it. I told him that he needs to bring a trailer to load it up because it doesn't run. I told him that we had it running on saturday, but for some reason it stalled and it wouldn't start again. I also told him that it may be out of gas or the fuel pump had gone out because it was not getting fuel pressure and that it needed to be re-geared because we did an axle swap from a 95 cherokee and it has different gears in it. He told me he would come by on Wednesday to buy it!

Today, he shows up with his wife because he doesn't speak english (his friend was the translator) and she asks me if they can drive it out. I said,"no...it doesn't run......it turns over, but it doesn't run." She says," well, we brought those things that....well, I don't know what they're called....ya know, the things that you hook up to the battery." I said," um, jumper cables :rolleyes: ." I said, "well...you don't understand, the truck does NOT run." She says," can we try?" *SIGH* :mad: ok fine! So, I go and get my Jeep and aside from using jumper cables, I have to use a battery pack as well, because the battery is beyond dead. I try to start the truck....Oh look...it won't f**king start!!!! She says, "ok I'll just go ahead and give you the money, but we won't be able to pick it up til we have a tow dolly......do you have the "paper" ?" Oh yeah, I have the "PINK SLIP" :shakehead: "Tow dolly??? you can't use one of those because of the 4 wheel drive." She says, "it's ok, my dad's a mechanic." I said, "yeah, so is my husband." AND.....:confused:

I told her that as long as we've had the truck, we never put it in our name and it hasn't been registered in about 7 years and was never registered non-op and the guy we bought it back from never registered it. She said she would go to DMV with the pink slip and see what they say. Since she lives 30 minutes away, I gave her my number so she could call me and let me know about what they require to put it in her name.

She calls me from DMV and says that she needs a bill of sale from the guy we bought it from, 8 years ago. I said, "yeah ok....that's not gonna happen." She said,"or, you can sign this release of liabilty form for me and then I can find out how much YOU GUYS owe for the fees on the registration." I said," whoa, wait a minute.....I am NOT paying any fees.....you want to buy the truck, it's your problem now." She says," I was thinking maybe, whatever you owe for the fees, you could just deduct it from the price of the truck." I said, "Are you serious? I sold the truck to you for $300!!!!!.....it's not like I was asking $2,000 for it. You go find another truck like that for $300.....you CAN'T." I said, "ya know, if it's gonna be this much of a hassle, you can just bring me back the pink and I'll give you your money back, because I will not pay any fees." She actually said something about if the fees are going to be $500, then she just wanted me to give her the truck!!! I thought,"WTF are you smoking b*tch? F YOU!"

Sure, I could put the truck on Craigslist and sell it for more, but I don't have the time! $300??? Come ON!!!

I'm so freaking pissed right now. I'd rather call pick-a-part and give them $25 to take it than to deal with these POS people that always want something for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geesh...that would really irritate me too! Sounds like you just got a bad apple. I'm sure there would be plenty of other people out there who may appreciate the deal you are offering.
 
were you located? ill buy it and cut it up. i need the back of the cab for my cherokee. :cheer:
 
J,

That's totally screwed up!:eek:

Some people have no common sense!:squid:

I assume you gave the money back and took back the pink slip?

Some people...... you really have to wonder:rolleyes:what the hell they are thinking.

Good luck with it.
 
Sorry you guys are going through this.. you are too good to be put through this. Just give the money back and get back your pink slip, F those peeps. You could sell it for metal and put up with less crap. Take care, try to not let it get the best of you.

No, I did not give the money back....I told her I would talk to Danny to see what he wanted to do and call her back, I didn't ask for her number because I have caller ID. So when I go to call her back, both cordless phones are dead and the TV's log must've been full, so he number wasn't saved into caller ID. I just have to wait for her to call me back.

why don't you donate it???

Get a tax write off, and help someone..

kids for example: Car Donation + Free Hotel

Well, I figured that if I sold the truck, I would have enough money for the moving truck! So, I don't know what I'm gonna do yet. This case is not closed.
 
Jeeps..huh...I have had my share. Wish I was closer and I would pick yours up and throw some 1 ton axles under it and call it a day. I love commanches and 300 bones is not a bad price alone for the body. I love Jeeps!!! You guys should come east and see my collection of Jeep Rock Racers i build.
 
oh these asshats are the typical locals, they think there going to buy it put gas in it and drive it till it dies. I told them thats not the case. it runs (well it did when I parked it) has a good tranny,transfer case, and front axle. the rear is a Dana 30 that the axle tubes have been pulled out doing my best General Lee impression. I used a come-along to pull them back into the pumpkin and welded them to the housing + made a poor mans axle tress to keep it from happening again. but the axle is bowed pretty bad. not to mention I started a budget build on it a year ago and before ran out of money. but before I did I did a front axle swap on it so the front has 3.55's in it and the rear has 3.07's. so I'm going to laugh when they try to put it in 4 lo and grenade the transfer case. oh well I told them about it and some people just don't listen. oh ya I forgot the front axle is out of a 95 and the trucks an 87 so they'll have fun getting brakes for it ,as they are significantly different between those years.
