So I have had my wife's van up for sale for a while now, And I have just the typical low ballers, hecklers and people with too much time and no money. The random person that wants to trade his really nice truck with 2xx,XXX miles on it etc...
How ever I did have a local couple come drive it and I helped them with stuff at where I work with no issues and they are a nice couple. He is over 6' tall and pushing 400lbs, he was in the passenger seat on the return drive of them being gone for about 30 minutes. Before they left I showed them the stow n go seating and how it works.
They pull in the driveway and knock on the door and ask if I can help them with something. I go out and his wife is playing with the passenger seat and informs me she can't get to move and they are trying to get the rear captains chair out of the floor. No biggie I have found one of my kids toys stuck under the seat and I figure it happened again. I look under the seat and nothing, I hit the button to power it forward and it twists on the frame. One of the seat tracks is bowed in the center and it is clear it couldn't hold his weight. I told them I can look at it over the weekend and see what needs to be fixed and they say no problem but we are still interested in the van.
Weekend comes and goes, I left them a message that it needs a new seat track and appears to be crushed but we can come down on price for what it costs for a new track. Well they don't call me but send me a message over Facebook saying they will take it for that price if I fix the seat otherwise they will keep looking. Seriously?>™?! You break something that isn't yours and tell me I am out of luck, WTF! Now I have seat stuck in the floor I can't use and you tell me no thanks.
The best part is that I haven't seen them in my branch since so it is obvious it was their bust.....
