[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 92723, member: 13117"] The 863 I sold in December, was a F-series. So, I get a random phone call on Friday evening around 830 pm. This guy states that he NEEDS a BOBCAT ASAP. He then went on to tell me that I had the only BOBCAT available for purchase anywhere close to his area. (I KNEW I WAS GONNA GET THE FULL PRICE OFF THAT I WANTED!!!) So, on Sunday (36-hours later!) I took it to meet him. It smoked moderately (from the exhaust) until it was warmed up. After 10 minutes of running, it would no longer smoke at all. (I am pretty sure it needed fuel injector(s) to rectify that issue; I also informed they buyer of the smoking issue before meeting him on Friday.) The day it sold, I had to take it to a city halfway from where the guy was coming from. As he looked it over, I told him that if he did not like the cosmetic / paint condition, then I would not un-chain it from the trailer. He said that he didn't care about the paint / cosmetics as much as the way it ran & functioned. I said OK & then unchained it. I backed it off my trailer & showed him that it functioned correctly & then shut the engine down. The buyer got into it, turned it on, spun it around behind his trailer & then shut it down.
