Ok, Im selling my 2nd gen cummins on craigslist. Guy comes by and sees it and loves it, He puts $1500 down and test drives it. Before the drive I told him the wastegate is not hooked up so dont take it above 35psi boost and dont let the egts get above 1300 (cause shit will start melting). He pulls out and floors it I look over and the egts are pegged at 1500 degrees and the boost pegged at 55psi. I say whoa dude and he holds it there a good 5-10 seconds then says sorry and lets go. Get the truck home everything appears fine. He comes back the next day with his wife and takes her for a ride to convince her to let him buy it. Idk how he drove it with her but at this point I didnt care I had 1500 down so I considered it sold. He gets back they love it, he agrees to bring me the rest of the money in a week.
So after he leaves I see oil gushing down the front end, Im like "fuck turbo blew". NOPE Head gasket completly gone, all the coolant is straight black oil just gushing out of the overflow tank and rad cap. Im pissed at this point, I clean it up flush it and park it. Keep in mind it was fine the day before he drove it the first timem, I didnt drive it once he put money down. I know for a fact that it was fine cause I usually baby the truck since it is my dd and Ive never had an issue.
Key points
-He has 1500 down
We agree it is only refundable if I back out or something breaks on the truck
- I have not told him its blown yet
So do I just let him take it since it is an as is buy and say fuck you you didn't listen your own fault?
Or should I tell him and see what happens? I dont want to have to refund him money and be out a truck cause of this guys ignorance. But there is no real way to prove it was him that blew it (even though I know for sure and I have two people who Know it was fine before). I thought about telling him he did it and I imagine him saying "you are probably trying to sell me a broke truck F U give me back my money"
So what to do?
