[Boatanchors] Now I've heard it all

[mark depaepe]

I would think $400 for factory repairs is a bargain.  I don't understand people who want to complain about things like that when they knew up.front.what they were buying needed repairs.
I once sold a guy a dune buggy that was 30 years old. Had been sitting for 4 years, that he stopped to ask of I would sell.  Be bought it and for a week it was fine, then the transaxel developed a problem.  Be called and complained that the car needed work.   People!
