Ahh. Damn that sucks... Its hard to trust anyone nowadays...
Did you buy this directly from Chris? This is not the sort of thing his reputation would suggest.
Ok. To answer the questions.
1st, I bought it from Steve, one week after he bought it. His wife hated it, so it sat in his garage for a week in Havasu untouched. So no, nothing changed from when Chris delivered to Havasu for him. I know Steve from a boating site, where the jeep was posted a couple days after he bought it from here.
2nd, I found out about the lockers a few months ago (after a less than performing trip to big bear). Pulled the covers off to see why it wasn't working. Low and behold, because it wasn't there.
3rd, (roz), Chris sold it stating it had certain mods. Which was not the case. HE misrepresented the jeep. Either intentionally or otherwise, no matter. He was the seller. If he wasn't positive of the mods, he shouldn't have stated it in an ad. Would it be ok if I 'was told' the jeep had a stroker motor in it so I advertise it for sale as such??? Not so much.... If he stated "the previous owner says it has ( ), but I haven't confirmed" then it's on me. That's not how the ad reads.
As for the mods he made costing 4k if a shop did it. Doesn't matter. The jeep was sold for the price he was asking. Supposedly with the mods HE stated were done.
Souske, why would I need to pull covers when I got home???? I took his for sale ad as fact.
As for why it took me until now to post?? I just found out (from Deaver) that the leaf pack is NOT a deaver pack. That pissed me off again. I started to post when I found about the lockers, but figured it as a lesson learned. The lesson is now getting more expensive as I find the most performance based mods are not done.
roz "My point is if Chris relied on the previous owner to be truthful and he was not the guy who sold it to you, how can you post that he misrepresented the sale?"
You can't be serious with that statement??
I expected the blind support for Chris on this. That's how internet forums go. I get it. But if this post makes people question the site 'regulars' more often on purchases, then the next guy may not get ripped off. There's not a person on this board that would've questioned the posted ad due to his prior reputation. And, not for a second, do I believe that anyone reading this wouldn't be pissed off if they got ripped off, no matter who the seller was.
Sorry about that Julio, I swear they said "Devir" on them when I sold them to you!But, something similar happened to me a while back when buying "deaver" leafs that turned out to be not so much. I was noob ( more so than i m now ) and took the guys word for it. Lesson learned. in your case, i dont think there was a way to find out sooner. :dunno:
