zing!

Not sure what network they use at work but was able to find it that way. Freight is only 100 so not a bad deal, ended up with a 50k motor for 900. New motor from dealer would have been 1900 so i guess i did alright.

Rob x-7

900 used, 1900 new- I would have tried to sell uncle on the new

Maxt

Yeah actually 1900 doesnt sound to bad for a new motor.

country boy mentality, i gave him the options and thats what he wanted

there are times you dont give people options!
