So almost found a great truck. Had a deal to see and essentially pick the truck up but could not meet until 1PM. Call the guy and talk at 9:30am to meet up at 1. No problem see u then. At 12:50 text him I?m on my way. ?Sorry it?s gone?. Ok. Wtf. Never mentioned anything about me being a backup or having others in que.
If he had told me I would have met him at 10 and rescheduled some meetings. Grrr.

Had a guy call me back an hour later about another truck.
Met up and did a no issue handshake deal for an agreed price with a pick up at a later date. This truck is higher mileage and has a few issues to sort out. But is down right ?nice? compared to the other junkers out there. The owner tried to fix everything but realized he did not need a farm truck for his small goats. Not to mention the Ranger clutch was too much for his kid. So I should be picking up the truck in a week or so, which is fine as my son is spending Christmas with grandpa.

So in conclusion. Have cash and run to the great deal. And there is still good folks out there, although far and widely spread out.
