He Saved the Pimp'n Game!
So there is a local 93 black TY for sale, my buddy calls and tells me where it is sitting. I go straight there when i get the call, sure enough there it is. So we pull over to take a closer look. I have on my NATSX T-shirt so i cant even act like i dont know what it is, but thats ok i thought. I ask a little bit about the truck, clean title, almost completely stock, minus air filter and newer tires, 6x,xxx miles, starts up no smoke, idle is nice, it had a newer exhaust too, rust on rear quarter and tailgate and fenders but repairable. I ask him what he is asking and he said 6500, decent i thought. I ask him how it drove, straight? vibrations? shift problems? over boost? blah blah blah.
What happened next kinda took me by surprise, but lets rewind for some details. When i got the call aboout it sitting out for sale i was out with my brother picking up some things for my new pup and things in my 85 f250 flatbed turbo diesel. Camo shorts and again my natsX t shirt, so maybe i didnt look like a serious buyer. It was a Sunday afternoon, sunny and warm out.
Back to the story, i ask him if we could take it down the street and back to see just how it does drive, to which i got the response, "i dont have it sitting out here for every punk to JOY RIDE it!"
Ok, i said. HE then ask me ehat i was offering for the truck, i told him i wouldnt offer him anything for the truck with out taking it out fro a drive, i work for 4 car dealers and we wouldnt even think about asking for a buy bid with out the customer driving the car, it actually helps build value if they have driven it and like it. I told him by WE, i meant him and I not me and my brother drive the truck, and i didnt even care if it was him that drove and i rode.
Still he kept saying this JOY Ride That Joy Ride, blah blah these trucks are rare and everyone just wants a ride. So i told him that i would go home, and get my SY, JOY RIDE it all the back to his house, which is 45 mins away so that i would have my JOY RIDE fix before gettting a test drive in his TY. Then he changes his attitude. Still and ass munch for the most part but takes me for a short ride, truck was solid, shifted nice, interior was very very nice, so when we get back he said, so what do you offer me now, I ask how firm the 6500 was and that i would carfax it at work and be back to take a few pics to post on syty even if i didnt decide it was something i wanted. HE said that if didnt sell it for the 6500 by the end of the summer he would just take a torch and cut it in half behind the doors and sell the parts, the folling is a quote, "the truck has a clean title, that and the vin tag alone i could sell in a hurry for a few grand" :rant: :tdown: "the stock wheels are worth a grand on ebay" clear coat needs refinished at least. "hell the front axles cost almost a grand" so at this point i had enough of the BS and left.
The next day after work i drove the SY back to his house to take some pics and to get the VIN #, He wouldnt shut up about my truck long enough to try to sell me his, he said a kid had offered him 5grand that day and he told him it wasnt chrimas in july and started back in the whole i'll cut it up and sell the vin, I told him thanks for opening the truck up for the pics and started to leave,
He said, take me ride in that thing, to which i replied, every punk wants me to give them a ride or watch me boost launch this thing, and i drove away.
I will post the vin when i get my camera back from my brother, just giving you guys a heads up in case the vin does make it out into the blackmarket world for future reference.
