As you all may know, I have been looking for another vehicle for my wife for a while now. Finally found a really clean 2009 Ford Escape last weekend. I was originally thinking of buying another Expedition, looked at more than a few of them before she said she would be happier with something smaller. This one has been garage kept all it's life, originally bought in the B.C. interior where winter is not much more than a week or two in duration.
I bought it from the second owner, he had bought it for his son, who has now decided on a Jeep. It has just over 120k miles, and NO RUST anywhere. I was underneath it at all 4 sides, clean! It needs a new windshield and I have already replaced front pads and rotors, stabilizer links, and changed the oil.

It has nearly new winter tires on it and these are the original wheels.

Myself, I dodged a bullet this morning. Guy has a (quote) ‘67 pickup for sale near me, so I went to see it this morning. He told me online it would be a good candidate for restoration (not a chance in hell!), and turns out it’s a ‘68, which is obvious if you know what you’re looking at.

So we started talking about that…..

The guy tells me the Title says it’s a ‘67, so that’s what it MUST be. Then he shows me the door tag, but it’s SCREWED onto the door, NOT riveted! So I start explaining how that isn’t OEM, and is incorrect…..

Then we started arguing….

Ultimately the guy wouldn’t let me check the VIN number on the frame (to check against the Title), and when I told him that absolutely NO ONE is going to buy, let alone restore it if the Title doesn’t match the VIN on the frame, he got all pissed-off and told me I was full of ****.

You can’t fix stupidity, but I feel bad knowing that someone is going to buy that mislabeled legal headache of a truck.

Buyer beware, I guess.
