Ooh, I Think My Heart Just Fluttered.

I wouldnt go off the decals alone, I could make a phone call and have a guy at my shop today who could reproduce and install those on my MJ and you wouldnt be able to tell.

Spencer at Jeepsticker.com sells the stickers. They are out there.

It looks a bit rusty for a TN truck. Get the VIN, pay for a Carfax and see where it came from.

*this number is not connected blah blah blah* this is the recording i get when i called the number. No difference using different area codes. Also tried to send a message, no dice. My only hope now, is the email i sent. Needless to say i am very disappointed.

Area code 423. Bristol, TN

[ftpiercecracker1]

He doesn't say if he is Bristol, does he?

[HOrnbrod]

He's in the Tri-cities (423 area code) and the phone number reverse lookup points to Bristol. I'll let you know if he returns my call. :thumbsup:

Thanks a bunch hornbrod.

Sad news, using the 423 area code the number finally worked, but only for me to find out someone came and bought it yesterday. I can feel the depression creeping in. :'(

FWIW - Regardless of weather you're the buyer or the seller - You 1st have to sell yourself - - Doesn't hurt to let a seller know you love the truck - Just don't pi$$ 'em off by pointing to every little flaw - Don't quote KBB/other prices - No need to prove your knowledge of what's wrong/could go wrong - The seller prob knows all of these things & if they don't it's gonna be harder to come of as a good guy, plus they'll react like all of us upon hearing bad/unwelcome news - - - - Sell yourself 1st & get them inna good mood selling the truck to you - - Do not show up in anything flashy/expensive - Leave the Rolex at home - - When the price comes up be honest or semi honest - Just tell 'em you want it, it's probably worth it but you don't have that much $ - - If they move, fine, you've started off correctly - if an impasse is reached just cover your tracks by saying something like let me ck with wife/friend/relative & see if I can come up with a little more, then yes/no & it'll be time for the big decision - - - - - Just the more flys with honey thing - - - - - - - - - - Nice looking MJ - - Hope the seller isn't following this thread - - Good luck

:thumbsup:

Good advise

You think so? If I'm a seller and after some potential buyer inspects the vehicle, decides he wants it, then says "Oh, I have to go check with the wife, relative, or whatever" because he's not prepared to buy, I wouldn't be happy. Don't waste my time.

My thoughts exactly. When I leave, if we don't agree on a price, I say if you call me, you will get 'X'. Then I write my name, number, and the amount on the card. Once they get enough people wasting their time, they tend to look at the number on the card as easy money. Learned the trick from an old friend. Works great.

this is absolutely true. i even encourage them to think about it (but not too long) i have bought most vehicles in exactly this fashion.

FWIW - Had a thriving Electronics store for a few - Sometimes wish hadn't sold it- Anyway, learned a little from my partner - He could sell - A good salesman knows how to deal with tire kickers & doesn't get all offended - time wasted only if you learn nothing - part of the game - get over it - whine about something you can change - - - It's on you If you perceive the buyer is sincere & they walk - -Some of his adv to me - - - Nuff said, Sell yourself 1st & learn how to close - - - - - - - - - Harold Hill is a good study, LOL - - Opportunity-Persuasion-Integrity - -BEST & WORST all in one.
