Default I Think I Could Puke

My truck was suppose to be going to the sale tomorrow, BUT on the way to school this morning it started a horrible clatter grinding whining noise. So i went to Greyghost house and caught a ride to school with thatguy. after school i went and got my wrecker to tow the truck. got the truck to the shop and put it on the lift and replaced the bad axle bearing. no biggie i got the problem fixed. NO, a lady comes by the shop and wants to test drive my truck. maybe this is good, but NO again she says the truck is making a funny noise but it runs good and drives perfect so she s coming back tomorrow with her husband and the money. so i get in my truck after she leaves and it is the same noise from this morning. i put it back on the lift and find the rearend is fucked and the tranny is making a clatter noise. i knoe the rearend is shot but maybe that is all. parts are on the way to fix it. how do you explain this one to someone that is wanting to buy the truck tomorrow when they show up? My ramble is done.

hmmmm i say tell them you got gears coming to fix it and to wait a day or two... if they really want it they shouldn't care about it being fixed in my opinion... not that it matters or nothin

tell them that you can fix it, or knock off the price what you or the mechanic thinks it'll cost to fix. But get it in writing that there's something wrong.

Danger is your middle name

J/K Tell her there are some repairs you'd like to make before letting it go to make sure everything is perfect for the next owner
