I bought an 84 Toyota Dolphin from a girl who had just purchased it herself. I hired an RV guy to check it out prior to purchase. I told him that I would be travelling in it right away with my kid and needed it to be safe and reliable. He said it was a nice little RV and if I didn't buy it he would.
I paid $3000 for her. He charged me $700 to look at it, make a few minor repairs, and deliver it to me 2 1/2 hours away. We turned around to take him home and planned to return to our home again the next day.
He didn't get here until after dark, and did say the tires were rotted, the backup battery was missing and oh yes, she had a bit of rust. This was well after I had purchased it from the girl.
We never made it home. The tires were flat the next morning and while we were trying to find new tires on short notice the e brake rusted through.
The guy who came to fix it told me that I got ripped off. That I needed to cut my loses and get out.
Someone had concealed the rust damage quite nicely.
My friends and family donated the money to make this happen. I didn't have the money to lose in the first place.
The engine runs, no issues there. Starts quickly, and is great on gas. The RV is in great shape too...
Some say we could replaced the cab, is this feasible?
Do I fix it or sell, and if I sell can I get my 3700 back?
What price would you recommend?
Thank you.
