I'm sure we've all had experiences like these through the years to brighten our lives once in a while: I was looking for a utility tractor with a loader. Called about a Ford 3000, asked lots of questions, told the guy how far I'd be coming (150 miles one way) and that I'd have to find a trailer to rent. He answered each question well about how good everything was other than the tires; "maybe 60%". I had to drive 45 minutes out of the way to get a trailer (and return it, of course) in addition to the 300 mi. round trip. The tractor/loader was so ratty; banged up, parts hanging off/not working/toggled up, you get the idea. He said, "I hope I didn't misrepresent it." Another time, a guy assured me that his had "no rust, looks nice" and when I got there, I saw that he should have said, "no paint, looks like junk." When I questioned why he didn't tell me the truth on the phone he said, "If I told you what it was really like, you wouldn't have come to see it." I guess it made sense to him. Hmmm.
