Well I stand by what I said about John. I've known the guy since high school, and he was the reason why I picked up a 185.
The bottom line is it wasn't his car, and I know for a fact it sat in his driveway 99% of the time before it was sold. After that he took the money and promptly deposited it into Steve's account (minus the cost of repairs).
In other words he had no interest or motive to hide anything, not to say that he's not even that type of person to begin with - proof of that shows when he sold his own ride this past year. He had full disclosure of all the issues with his car here on the forum, as well as to the buyer.
So don't assume you know somebody or "how they operate" when you have no clue who they are, or what the true circumstances were. I do because I was there, as well as a few other old school Alltrac owners. He's got a lot more respect from old school guys on this forum and in SoCal for being who he is, and not for someone you assume him to be. He is a TRUE guru who has helped more owners than 99% of the current guys on this forum today who THINK they're gurus...
Good luck with your sale...
