Need some advice on my truck

[e30lov]

Op wins!

Dude texts me today says he took it to a mechanic. He tried to tell me that the gasket has been blown for 6 months and somehow he knew that with out taking off th head ? Lol anyway I just towed 17k lbs a month ago and ive put 6k miles on the truck in the last 6 months and had no issues. He asked if theres any way id refund him. I said no. He said he kept it below 10psi the whole trip home and the mechanic told him that it wasnt him who blew it but me and wants to charge 2k for a head gasket job. I told him his mechanis is fuckin retarded. I also metioned he most likey hurt it when he pegged it during the test drives.

Long story short he sent me back a text saying "I made my bed and now I gotta lay in it so I will take care of it" I told him to change the gasket fire ring it amd stud it if he wants to drive it like he did. He replied "ok I will its mine now so ill deal with it, have a good one"

smh.

It says it right on the money that was used to fund the purchase of said truck

yeah, but the truck went from "one" to "many" parts, not the other way around :P

(i think you're referring to "caveat emptor"?)

I'm sorry for negative comment, I felt attacked. I feel better now. I hope you can see it in your heart to forgive me.

no worries. as long as you realize how wrong you were, it's all good.

"If you don't know anything about what your buying you should have it inspected by someone who does."

BTW, the correct spelling of the contraction of "you are" is you're.


hth

here's some educaton on contracts for you-

Fraud Fraud prevents mutual agreement to a contract because one party intentionally deceives another as to the nature and the consequences of a contract. It is the willful misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact of a contract, and it is designed to persuade another to enter into that contract. If a special relation-ship exists, such as that of attorney and client, nondisclosure of a material fact is fraud. Many courts have held that mere silence concerning a material fact did not constitute fraud, but the emerging trend is to find a duty to disclose and, therefore, deliberate concealment of a material fact gives rise to an action for fraud.
A contract that is based on fraud is void or voidable, because fraud prevents a meeting of the minds of the parties. If the fraud is in the factum, (i.e., during the execution of the contract) so that the party would not have signed the document if he or she understood its nature, then the contract is void ab initio (i.e., from its inception). The signatory is not bound if a different contract is substituted for the one that he or she had intended to execute. If, however, a party negligently chooses to sign the contract without reading it, then no fraud exists and the contract is enforceable. If the fraud is in the inducement, by which a party is falsely persuaded to sign a contract, the terms of which he or she knows and understands, then the contract is not void but is voidable by the innocent party, as that party executes what is intended to be executed. If, however, due to fraud, a contract fails to express the agreement that the parties intended it to express, then the defrauded party may seek a decree of reformation, by which the court will rewrite a written agreement to conform with the Original Intent of the parties


op loses if a judge finds out he hid the head gasket problem. end of story

Thanks for the "educaton" I guess if it wasn't written in a book for you to copy word for word you can't spell it.

As is means as is. If the guy who bought didn't realize it had a blown head gasket, then whose fault is it really. He bought a used truck and drove it away. The seller didn't say as is unless the head gasket is blown, then you can bring it back to me. If you don't know anything about what your buying you should have it inspected by someone who does. Would the seller be responsible if the guy drove it home and blew a brake line on the way? No, of course not because it was sold "as is" with no warranty.

He's an idiot . He fucked up your truck, then bought it.

Let him suffer. I have no pity for Idiots that don't listen .

All I can say is, I'm glad that I'm not you right now

This...

I would have called him up first thing I noticed the oil dripping out, flat out told the idiot that he had blown the engine up, and then go from there.

But now, despite the "as-is" terms, this guy has a case against you if he discovers the blown head gasket. He can accuse you of not disclosing it and take you to court. Shitty thing is you did know about it, and did not tell him... Even though he obviously blew the engine, he could deny it and probably get away with it, or you would be at fault for allowing him to test drive it in the first place without everything working as it should. I wouldn't see this ending well for you on Judge Judy.
