I figured it'd be nice to hear others "for sale gone wrong" stories so we all know we aren't alone.
I had a 1986 Ford F250 with a 351 Cleveland in it. I had it for several years, it was a good truck. I decided to sell it and was driving it to a friends house about 10 miles away and the oil pump went out. It would lose oil pressure after about a minute. I had to nurse it back home and and put an oil pump in it. Finally sold it about 3 weeks later :laughing:
My dad was a farmer/mechanic on his days off from the city fire department. He had an older Ford truck for sale, my brother and I (about 8 & 10 at the time) were home when the man showed up to look at it. Dad was at the FD. My brother and I pointed out everything that was wrong with it. I remember telling him "sometimes it won't crank and dad has to wiggle this wire". Low and behold he didn't even test drive it BUT he bought it. Dad said he wouldn't let us sell his stuff again :laughing::laughing:
