So I had just moved back to my hometown after completing my four years in the US Navy. I was walking to Walgreen's, which was a short walk from the college campus that I go to, when a parked black 1992 Ford Expedition for sale caught my eye. I wrote down the phone number and thought nothing of it until I called the number when I got home. The guy said to meet him at the shell gas station near Walmart. So my wife and I drove over there and I just happened to park next to a 1989 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L that was also for sale. Well the guy showed up after about 15-20 minutes and there was no Ford Expedition in sight. This is where it got weird cause he said that his brother had the car and he didn't have a phone so there was no way for him to contact him to which I replied "He just told me he would be parked here."

Suddenly, he started talking about ANOTHER Ford Expedition they were selling for the same price and that he could take me to go look at it . This fool probably thought he could roll me in an alley or something. I ended up telling the guy not to waste my f#$%ng time and I called the number on the Blazer that we were parked next to and an older man came by shortly. He wanted 3000 but I took it off his hands for $2700. Ill post pictures once I get it washed. It looks real nice. The only thing that is wrong with it I think might be the fuel pump cause it takes a bit long to turn over when the car sits over night. The battery is brand new and if I pump on the gas pedal while cranking it seems to mitigate this effect. Oh and as you can see by my user name it has Dayton rims haha. Not really my style but I think its kinda cool. And he had also installed a Pioneer sound system with a 10" subwoofer BOOM BOOM . Its good to be part of a forum again. Last one I was in was the Metallica forum before joining the Navy haha
