86 PT38 for sale

[jburgessx2]

I've never received a warranty of any kind when purchasing a used vehicle from a
private party - nor would I expect to. Also, I would never give one myself for
the stated reasons below. I sold my Beaver to buy my Bird. The PO of my Bird
didn't know certain things were wrong and I believed him. He disclosed other
issues and I accepted responsibility for them. I'm still fixing little problems
here and there and it's part of the deal of buying an older used vehicle. The
gentleman who bought my Beaver was happy to get it like it was (I gave him a
great deal). I disclosed every issue I was aware of and he accepted
responsibility. Plus, a few things cropped up after he bought it that were not
present when I sold it (to my knowledge). I was kind enough to go help him fix
a few things (my labor only) but that was purely out of the kindness of my heart
- he didn't expect to me and was very gracious when I offered to help. I was
not angry at the PO of my Bird when I discovered some things wrong - I think he
truly didn't know. I believe most people are honest an care - there are always
a few who give the rest a bad name.

A used vehicle is just that - used. A good inspection by a mechanic will
uncover many hidden problems and you can haggle the price from there.

Just my .02 cents worth.

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.
