Re: You Know The Saying "trailer is worth what you paid for the boat" **I Disagree**
OK Im back at a computer.
I called up and the salesman answered the phone As soon as I said who I was you could hear the tone in his voice change. He said that the 250 offer still stands. I asked why in the world he would sell me that trailer and give me a BS story about how solid it was, hook it up to my truck and let me hit the interstate with it. All he said was "How was I supposed to know it was gonna break in half."
Then the owner chimes in, (with a little attitude I might add) He keeps repeating over and over about how good a deal I got and kept using the phrase "You bought it as is." I told him yea I made out great on the boat but you could have killed someone with the trailer. He then told me the whole story about the trailer. "It was under a Mastercraft boat we took in on trade from Ohio. The owner before he traded it in used it in saltwater for a while and the trailer got rusty. We used it as a shop trailer for a while and then put it under the Sea Ray because we knew we could sell a boat and trailer easier than just a boat." I said that's great, but why didn't you tell me that in the first place? You could have avoided all of this by saying We got the trailer in on a trade and don't know nothing about it. Tow it at your own risk. No answer. I then asked about the inspection that was done. He said all thats required for the inspection is that the brakes and lights work. And I have to admit they all did.
In the end, He said I have to think about this. I have to make a phone call and I will get back to you today.
All and all it wasn't that bad. I thought it was nice to have them both on the phone because there was no he said she said. Some of the things I told him he had no idea happened and you could hear him asking the salesman "Did you do or say that?" And the salesman would say "Ya but what I really meant was____".
Once again I am patiently awaiting a phone call, but no matter what happens this ends today. I think this thread is long enough...
