86 PT38 for sale

The problem I have with an after buying warranty is you don't know the new
owner. He could screw up the engine, tranny, etc. and then expect you to pay for
it up to the warranty amount.
So many bird owners, this was their first bird, and as we have seen over the
years on this forum, didn't know how to run this, fix that, etc.
This is our first and probably only bird. Never had one before. Huge learning
curve.
Before this we had a 26ft GMC.
I was sure of the mechanicals having replaced most stuff.
Gave the new owner a 30 day warrenty to fix anything that went south.
Called me in a couple of weeks stating the genset wouldn't start.
Had him take it in wherever and get it fixed and I would cover his cost. Bill
was a little over 200 bucks.
Sometimes you just can't replace ALL parts that could go wrong.
I would give a 30 day warranty, but that's it.
Any longer (say a year)and the guy could take a long trip and overheat the
engine, etc.
30 days seems right to me.

> Bruce, do the math. its an agreement to cover the repair cost over an stated
amount, up to an stated amount for an stated period of time. I would bet
someone would buy a 86pt for $50grand with a second 10grand one year warranty.
and that same person would pass on a like 86pt for $35grand. statements like no
warrenty expressd or implied are a waste of time. warranties are implied when
you make a statement of condition and sell a product as fit for use.

an item. use of these disclaimers after a disortation of condition are not
binding (if tried)and reveal the true opinion of the seller about his/her
product.
