I love people like this. Sell a good truck cheap rather than fix the starter. Years ago, I sold a guy I worked with my "beater" '60 Dodge for $200. The car ran good, drove good, and didn't look too bad. It did have a weak battery, a fact I apprised him of several times. Of course, during the first cold snap during a Minnesota autumn, it wouldn't start one cold morning. I got to work that day,and he comes storming into my office, demanding I take "that piece of shit" back. During lunch, I had a friend take me to where the car was. Of course, the sun was shining, and it had warmed up enough for the Dodge to start right up. I drove it back to work, put a used battery in it, and sold it two days later for $350.

The amazing thing is that after the original purchaser calmed down, he seemed to be perfectly happy to have rented a 10 year old car for two days for $200.
