i say offer him 400 if thats where your comfortable, if he doesnt take it then leave your name and number and say give me a call if you want to sell it at 400. you have the power to walk away..

you would be surprised how many times people will change their mind when they see money leaving their pockets....

.....sorry.........

How about.........

"Buy it or don't, meh."

Better? hahaha. Jk.... and I'm just trying to help him to think it all out... There's often a lot involved in ANY rig we get used... Let alone this level of project, right? And... I wished people had told me more often "what I was getting into", ya know? lol.

I agree with the 'offer the 400 and walk away'.... Works OFTEN for me in CL and other buys.

Yeah, that's what I mean... It's a Uhaul thingymadoer that, well,.. Basically you pull this pin and the flatbed type platform can be angled down... Then you slowly pull up on it and it goes level. It's a Car Dolly of sorts.... Just keeps all 4 off the ground. but hey, if you have a trailer to use.. by all means, OF COURSE, use it!

No way in hell if you are strapped for cash.

Lord only knows how bad that thing could be.

And those wheels are hideous.

I'm telling you that thing is a rust bucket. Stay away from it unless you have lots of cash and only want it for a beater.
