Anyone ever get burned this way? Just curious post up your story.What was it,how was the situation rectified,what were the circumstances,what was done.Most importatntly are you still friends?Are people so simple minded that they let a bad business deal get worse by not correctiong a problem?

Most are.

I had a pretty good friend bring his '96 F-250 diesel (over 136K miles) to my shop after it was in an accident.  I could have totaled it but he didn't want it totaled so I kept the bill low enough the insurance would pay for it. (mistake #1) I repaired it then when I delivered it here is a list of things he said worked before the accident : 1)rear passenger window worked (found rusted out track) 2) dome light worked (found no bulb, apparently they disappear after an accident) 3) now dome light doesn't go out (found a rusted out plunger switch in the door) 4) rear door lock didn't work (found it pushed down in the door) 5) driver door switches fell into door (found news paper stuffed under it to keep it up, then replaced it with fresh paper) He also blamed me for his bald tires. There was more but thats all i could think of.

Wacker........ I owe you a box of 45cal.  ;)

thats why i dont like to do business really with friends or family!

That wasnt what this was about.
But now that you mention it! ::)

Well ................ come down and get it.  ;) 



bring it next time we meet at Rio Grande

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH he said something about your moma wacker... you gonna take that !!!!!!!

He & I are brothers ying yang,mind your own business rookie ;D

Yeah...I tried to buy some coozies from a "friend" once......  ;)

We aint friends & there in the mail! ;) ;D  J/K

ouch.

We haven't "met" yet, but here... :-*  :o :bow.gif

This is gonna cost you a mountain water  ::) ;D

Yeah....I couldn't find a "kiss my a**" smiley...so that had to do for now... >:D

(oh and enjoy that new Baretta...I was trying to buy that too..)

Are you a regular gangster or an OG ??

 OG...LOL I haven't even had a chance to shoot the gun yet. It's a nice looking little gun though.

 Being Gangster and all, I need a bigger gun anyway!! I use to pack a wrist rocket back in the days. I didn't play!!

So let me get this straight......... This member sold a swamp buggy to another member. The buggy didnt start off the trailer went she delivery it. She just had the buggy repaired (head gasket)...... The member that bought the buggy found water in the oil. He call her and was told to call the tech that worked on the buggy. The tech claims that she overheated the engine and warp the head before selling it to the other member. Now she doesnt want to refund the money back to the other member. if this is true, looks like a good small claim court should handle the problem. 

REGULATORS.......Mount Up

is this the Buggy?

so that was done march 10th and when was it purchased? Sounds like it was broke from start

yeah it does........ ???

  Wow  I read about that.  I understand this one that sold it will not stand behind it.

There has been No response , I posted on the site they frequent and I emailed them directly , whenthe actual purchaser gets back in town I am  quite sure , this will get heated. Of course there will be people who will defend this person , I do not give a crap , you CAN NOT deny the facts...Nuff Said.

rookie ?i owe you both a box of 45 cal. let me know when you wanna collect?

I see another chick beaten at the play pen soon. ???

When I buy something I make sure I am happy before parting with the cash. Tail light warranty as far as i am concerned with most deals like this. What kind of person buys a blown up buggy?

...and I can picture you standing there just watching and waiting for the lifeflght to come later.  ;)

Nope....... The pig pen is not my hang out.

Some folks get offended when you talk about River Ranch like that. (http://www.floridaatv.com/smf/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/laughing7.gif)

One day everyone will all be as  smart as you Jackl..until then if you are considered a friend I will trust ya...funny thing a persons character...some people care about it others do not and some are just reformed trailer trash...where do you fit in?

Idk Joe todays society is just getting worst in my opinion. I just don't see as many ppl out there anymore who have common sense. Oh also if its a true friend then they won't screw you over! Atleast you wouldn't think so.

I am in a bad spot because I told this person " you can trust them"..and he did....so I feel like a real dipstick.

Just for the record yes i'm the DUMBASS that bought the buggy and again for the record the motor has been cooked to the point that it has to be pulled and and machine it had gotten so hot that the head gasket that is left melted to the head wonder how you wouldn't notice something getting so hot??? Again my fault for trusting someone that lives approx 5 miles from my house but you all know about carma ::)

"Better Hold on this baby pops wheelies..its bad azz and fun as heck to drive...it'll go fast but i prefer slow cruiseing since theres no brakes ...its a 3 speed with reverse and a heavy duty tranny..its a local buggy so many of ya'll have seen it around..everyone who knows it will say how strong it is...the motors been rebuilt and its a 4 cylinder 134 Hurricane .. this used to be a '52 Willeys Jeep...
 Rebecca" quote iluvmuddin


Its obvious that she beat the crap out of the thing if you browse around to the other websites

 You beat me to the post ;)  I read this last night.

Key words there is rebuilt i talk to the mechianc afterward and he only redid it a month ago so i guess she really beat it and lyied to me in fact the mechanic even said she ran it real hard but then again it was after the fact so it is my fault to trust anybody on these websites..

I hear some folks have had posts removed, and kicked off another site for taking her to task over this...

  Sounds like an American Express commecial.....

 One used swamp buggy.... 2500.00

 One rebuilt motor..............1200.00

 Online (FALSE) adversising................free

Selling your BLOWN up OVERHEATED JUST REBUILT BUGGY to an unsuspecting friend and the feeling you get when they hand you HARD earned cash.............................................PRICELESS!!!

  Yep...one post and Kicked Off.  I feel like Cain...LOL

Yeah, you know how power hungry mods can be a little petty... :D

I feel the love on here!................... I'll bring the mashmellows to the Ranch.  ;)

 Na it wasnt that, Just a small guy with something to prove.  ;D

Here at SwampBuggyMax we would never sell you a pile of junk, we do a 160 point inspection to guarantee even the slowest buyer is satisfied...LMGDFAO.

Here is a lesson in Latin for you big guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveat_emptor

Read it, learn it and live it. Sheese, or just whine and cry on the internet 24/7 like a neglected child if that does something for you, personally I just get a new toy and continue the fun just a little smarter for the experience. I guess that is makes me a one percenter.

Yeah, 'My Name is Earl' teaches us all about Karma. Perhaps you should spend more time with a Chiltons manual, and less time making vague threats against someone for your screwup? Last time I bought a motor that had blue heads I took a minute to check it was actually paint...

Is this suppose to be a joke? Iluvmuddin has been trashed from one end of this forum to the other since she arrived, you must have missed all that....




The world would be a great place if people took responsibility for their own actions and failures. In your case, you bought junk without inspecting it. There is no other way to look at it, unless you are trying to say Rebecca is a slicker used car salesman than Scotty and somehow owes you for your lack of attention back in Auto Mechanics. Perhaps SD should hire her....LMAO.


As for friends, I have plenty. I still inspect vehicles and tools I purchase from them though.

 ;D

Jackl are you this dense or are you just putting on a show?...Yes I assumed buying from a friend things would be fine...Nothing to do with Buggy max you simpleton it has everything to do with doing the right thing. I have a problem when I vouch for someone and get burned. Plain and simple.

Some folk say anything to get some action............. :N :'(

 Jack,  When you deal in a small town as I have for 22 years or sell to friends or family there is NO SUCH THING as.."AS IS" I have fixed things as much as 10 months later that had nothing to do with the way the vehicle was SOLD but fixed it because it was the right thing to do.  I still take folks @ their word everyday and get burned everyday. Vehicles are not made in heaven and we all realize that things break but when there is intent there to DUMP a problem and no intention of righting a wrong it changes things. When I sold the RECON to Jim his kid blew it up the first weekend @ the Ranch (sank it) and ran it without draining the water from the filter box... I still didn't hold his feet to the fire, I let him out of the deal. The fact that she refuses to help or even address the situation is what raises the eyebrow. In reference to Hiring her...that would NEVER happen, Everyone that works @ Heartland Motors are LOYAL, Family oriented, Christians that I have known for 20 years or better. Also any dealership that I have EVER worked @ any sales rep caught misrepresenting a vehicle to sell it or lying (not saying it doesn't happen..it does) would be FIRED on the spot. JMHO

The only one putting on a show here is the original poster. I didn't bring this public.
I gave my opinion and threw some humor at the situation I know little about, but have surely experienced it on both sides with all sorts of deals.

I'm thinking a law should be enacted that to own a buggy you must build it.
Sorry you told your friend to buy junk, but the way I see it a $300 motor from the boneyard will have you guys back in the game. This thread is just drama over BS IMO.

No doubt wacker, here is a great example. ;)

I have no idea how you run your business, I just know people are ALWAYS crying about used car dealers. Google UCD jokes...haha..but I don't live in a small town and Rebecca is not a dealer anyway. Like I said, If I bought a buggy (or any vehicle) I would let what the owner was telling me go in one ear and out the other while I inspected the rig before parting with my hard earned cash. People certainly don't pay me for fixing their satellite system until
they are happy.


Private deals are ALWAYS AS-IS unless expressly agreed upon beforehand.


The trailer and running gear is worth the $$$ anyway...at least from the pics.

Easy to say when it's not your money.

Time to break out the spoon....

I hear there's been a new twist to the Buggy sale saga....Anyone know the whole story?

  No Sir PLEASE TELL!!!  I am ready if needed...fork ready.

Swampass I new you were gray but didn't realize you were getting a 6 -8  head in your pic.(receding hair line)

I hear the buggy seller has made some sort of offer.....I don't know what the latest is though....Anyone?

Me ethier please tell...

Wrong buggy I think ............ She has a 1/2 ton beater now!

 YOU WOULD KNOW MORE THAN ANY OF US...... WOULDNT YOU???

I thought there was some offer made on RRR site to JoeDirt....I DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS....I just wondered if that was going to help the situation...?

The only thing that would help the situation would be the people whining about not being mechanically adept as to not buy a rig with a burnt motor, now expecting some reparations for ignorance to just start wrenching...LOL, no time for that with so many cool internet sites though....LMAO

Just swingin in the rain, swingin in the rain ( dancing like Fred Estaire )  :D

I've bought from and traded stuff with friends...... but my wife was NEVER part of any of those arrangement. ;)

Just ......................... damn. 2:L 2:L 2:L 2:L 2:L 2:L 2:L

Cableboy you resurfaced thanks for keeping this alive what is the problem that i have a 25 yr old BI girlfriend or you can't even get one and have to lurk on those sites to hope you see some naked pictures?? I use the same handle on all the website unlike you and your a hole buddy Cain or is it Able? Crawl back into your hole and hook up some cable SPORT LMAFO LOSER.. ::)

  My question is why would a grown man (yet to be proven) with"so MANY FRIENDS" and soooo much to do spend his valuble time Googling another Mans screen name??? just saying.

Nice, talk about a family site with children being able to clik on links that bring them to swingers sites.

This site is cleaner than any public school.

Do you want me to provide you with the contact information, or can you just 'swing' by the google site?

I'm getting to many reports about the swinging singles thing, so I locked it. I removed it once then you posted it again. So now the thread is locked.
