A little long, but I'm Sure everyone can relate to a degree to my gripe of the day.
Should have just gone to work and let someone else get that deal. Been looking for a late model GMC or Chev 4 dr dually so I answered an ad on craigslist for an 02 GMC 8.1 with 51k. Ad says perfect truck all around. 6 new tires, clean title, very well cared for, never hit. He loves it but a business change forces sale. Good price, so I call. He claims truck is mint and runs perfect. Any paint work? I ask. No never. Just a little scuff on one rear fender, but he's getting it fixed because it bothers him. Knowing the back fenders are plastic on dually's, I ask if it's cracked. Oh no, just a little scuff.
My buddy and I drive 2 1/2 hours down to Mass. only to wait at the exit another 1/2 hr cause he's late. Finally follow him to his house, pull in the driveway and we both knew right off our day was wasted. Where do I begin.  One side repainted, window molding and all. looked liked the stuff you get at Lowes with the kringle finish. Doors don't close right. He may have 6 new tires, but they sure as hell ain't on this truck. 6 near bald tires, all with studs, (illegal in some northeast states off season), must ride and sound nice. The scuffed fender? I don't know how this guy craps cause he must think his butt don't have a crack either. The front part had a big chunk missing and behind the wheel had an open crack about 10" long, I hope he's got thick paint.  Back seat ripped with foam popping out and some interior trim pieces missing. My friend reached under the front end and came out with enough oil on his hand to do an oil change on my Vette. He went back in and came out with enough dirt to start a garden. The shield that protects the front differential looked like he drove over a fire hydrent, and I mean then big old cast iron ones.
I'm not making any of this up or exzagerating at all. This was  unbeliveable. After telling him his truck was a piece of s and that I can't believe he would waste someones time like that, we jumped back in our truck and headed on our merry way. All the way back I just kept repeating one thing. "What a piece of S---."

At least we got to stop at Wild Willy's in York for a Gooood burger.
 

I usually say a bad day of ________ is better than a good day at work, but in this case, you are right, you should have just gone to work.

Chalk up another turd on Craigs List...

So what did the guy have to say for himself?

He claimed his father wrote out the ad and that he's young and his father is helping him out with a used car business  and he has a lot to learn. He wrote the ad and his father is not doing him any favors. He's setting him up for failure. Also, the father was no where to be seen, of course.
