I'd rather do it building something cool, and having the customer be stoked.
We have probably half a dozen cars in here right now, needing TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars in repairs, because the customers brought the cars in AFTER they bought them and said...
I just bought this, what do you think??
This year has been car after car like this. We have made a ton of money this year doing repairs on just purchased cars. I've never seen a year like this. It's nuts. I've lost count of the issues we have seen.
So please people...
IF you are going to buy a private party car, truck, boat, dirt toy, whatever it is, take it to a mechanic BEFORE YOU BUY IT, NOT AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if the seller has a problem with his item being inspected, before you buy it? Run as fast as you can. Don't let your emotions get in the way. There are other toys out there. Tons of em. Well taken care of ones. Don't jump at the first thing you see and feel like you have to have it.
