Don't bother... This guy flaked on me bad. We agreed on a price and a time to meet up on Sat. morning. He's in Ocala, so that's a 150 mile, and over a 2 1/2hr drive for me one way. I text him that I'm on my way when I leave out, then 20min before I got there he sends me a text. He said that someone is offered him $125 more than we agreed upon and that if I'm close that he'll still meet up with me to cover my gas. I was pissed, but I still went the rest of the way to meet with him and figured if the engine checked out that we might be able to work something out, even though I felt like he was trying to give me the shaft! He was suppose to meet up with me a 10am, I got to the shop where the engine supposedly was at 9:45am and waited. After texting him and calling him a couple times, he finally shows up surprisingly and hands me $28 for gas, wtf? I just spent $60 in Diesel to get up there and over 7hrs of my time as you can imagine, I wasn't very happy. He said that the other guy had just paid him and that the engine was sold and not even in the shop anymore, BS. I don't know if this motor was legit, or what kind of games he was playing but I know they didn't pull that motor out of the shop in the 20min. between the text I got and when I arrived. So he bought lunch at Burger King for me, my wife and our 2 boys that I brought along on the road trip. So I'm out almost a full tank of fuel and wasted most of my Sat. on some BS. It was a good lesson for my sons on how some people you deal with can be. I'd advise anybody reading this not to deal with this guy, you've been warned!
