86 PT38 for sale

Yes. I buy bobcat tractors for $60,000 then beat them against rocks until the
front ends fall off. In 3 years they are worth 30 grand to someone but the
buyer may be buying nothing but problems for which I truly know nothing about.
I give operation instruction and a second 10grand warranty at which point I ask
35 grand for the tractor. if the new owner has a $20,000 repair during the
warranty period I give up 10 grand (16,000 repair I give up 6,000 ; 35,000
repair I give up 10,000). that way he is not at a total loss and I never have to
worry that I sold someone something without value. A second 5 grand warranty
bears more risk of occurrence but less outlay. second amount ensures owner will
participate in an unintended repair and share the cost of a failure. sharing the
cost of a failure is part of buying used products.

It doesn't matter if it was operator error much unless it was intentional. that
you can avoid by picking he buyer. some one looking to cheat you on a warranty
will most likely take a price cut in lue of a warranty anyway.

the retort will display how unique a offer is and how much value the offer adds
to the product. I don't believe a dishonest person would offer one because they
are running from known issues.

about what Greg was proposing. At least I think I do. I believe he's saying,
if you want to sell your RV at above market price (or at it) you might want to
consider sweetening the deal a little by offering some kind of warranty against
future engine or tranny problems for up to 6 months. In other words, if a bus
your age is going for 75K and you are asking 80K you might want to offer a $5000
Warranty against any of those two problems within a 6 month time frame. Even if
you had to pay it you'd still be getting a good price for your RV and would also
be assuring the buyer that you believe your bus is in very good shape. If the
buyer wanted to negotiate with you for a lower price then I would think that the
warranty would be the first thing to go. Just my thought and 2 cents worth...

all insurance is bad. It's all just gambling. Anytime you buy ins you're just
betting against the house. The ins company knows what they're doing, they're not
stupid. It's a simple mathematical game of odds. They always win in the long
term. Have you ever seen an ins building? `Hundreds of millions of dollars, and
all paid for. Once you've paid your premiums, and then have a need, you have to
beg them to help you, only to find another little clause that exempts their
responsibilities again. It's always better to keep our money in the bank,
growing. Then have the money to fix what we want, when we want, how we want.
Just my 2 cents worth of a rant!
