Just arrived and hour meter is broken

[ROUSTABOUT]

Getting your panties in a wad over it will do nothing but give you a sore crack...

You sound like a reputable person.... I'd bet a nickle you're a dealer of some sort...maybe used cars.

What you're talking about is a defamation suit. There are clear lines of what makes a defamation suit and what would provide grounds for a counter suit to stand on.

It's a shame you have conflated the two - one being false advertising and two being defamation. However, I glad I had the chance to explain it, so now you know.

Just to follow your "logic" they could have advertised it as a 0 hour tractor too, well, any could advertise any tractor as a 0 hour machine because it once had 0 hours?

And because I like spinning my wheels, when you enter into a sales transaction with a set of facts on each side, those facts need to be correct. The seller was representing the tractor (falsely) and I was the interested party who fulfilled my end of the deal. As the dealer didn't say the the hours were unknown or eluded to possible 15xx hours or more v stating they were 1555 hours, they are to shoulder the responsibility for their error, not the buyer. It's a strange concept that the buyer would both be responsible for the dealers irresponsibility in factually representing the item AND play the role of the buyer whose only job it is to agree to terms/represented information and fund the sale.

Looking forward to your well thought out retort.

If that dealer had a dated pic, which most pics nowadays are, with that hour meter reading those hours, at that time...

If the dealer stated the hours, based on the information he had at the time...

I'm not confluted, I'm two steps ahead of you. If this dude claims fraudulent BS on the dealer, with a lawsuit, and if there is no previous history of a bunch of prior lawsuits against the same dealer, for the same thing, then the accuser has left himself open to a very big lawsuit. The accuser only can go after his 30,000 dollars. The accused can countersue for millions, no real limit on what dealer can countersue for.

I'm looking at the end of this. I see the end from the beginning.

Plus, since the buyer has done blabbed and belly ached so much on here, not a chance in h. e. double L that he can ever just fix the hour meter and pass it on. So, he'll have to keep it or lose his rear.

I do not have a 200 IQ, but I can pass tests all day long at 184, consistently. They gave me 13 tests back to back at the last time I was tested. 184-185. It's really not a blessing, removes too much mystery from life.

With a 184 I.Q., you should know "The accused can countersue for millions, no real limit on what dealer can countersue for." isn't true.

If you want to write the attorney fat checks you can sue for whatever you want to.

"conflated". And you don't really know what you're talking about Mr. Mensa.

If you want to write the attorney fat checks you can sue for whatever you want to. Actually winning is a different matter.

Lawyers give options. You don't have to hire them to be heard by an arbitrator or judge. You can also just file paperwork yourself. It's not all that hard.

When you talk to the dealer tomorrow I’d leave those ideas out of the discussion or he’s probably going to tell you to pound sand real quick.

Maybe. But a broken hour meter is like a bent barrel. Hard to not see.

Why would a dealer run a tractor long enough to notice that an hour meter doesn't work? Can't see any reason they'd run a machine like that for more than a half hour, max, probably considerably less.

They should, it isn't that hard to start up a machine and let it run for an hour.

I couldn’t tell you how many hours any of my multiple machines have to within one hour accuracy from memory. It would take me a long time to realize a meter isn’t working. I’d figure out a broke tack faster but all except one of my machines are electric meters.

They should, it isn't that hard to start up a machine and let it run for an hour.

Why would they waste time and money running potentially hundreds of machines for 1 hour to verify the meter doesn’t work? Even if you verify it doesn’t what’s your next step? You still aren’t any closer to knowing it’s accurate count.
