I almost got scammed. (I think)

Even the newest of cougars are at least 1970 model year .... if the "backseat" is to small...your probably not in a cougar

OoOOOOOOOOHHHHH... I get it.

Cougars...like the lady variety. Man, you guys are always one step ahead of me.

I have seen more of printcraft than I ever wanted too.... he has no blonde hairs sir

Who said anything about hair?

What year cougar are we talking about here?

If it's a new one, then I can totally sympathize about the bent crank. Those back seats are aaaaay too small.

1987 if I recall correctly...steel tank, heavy and slow. Does good burn outs though. Driving home from work one day and it sent the mechanical fan into the radiator, shredding it to piece all over the road. The back seat doesn't have much more room then the newer models.

There are newer cougars all the way up to the 2000's

Dude.... just sick ... way to young to even worry about bending the crank shaft
Need at least a 1993 (god I hope my math is right) to take her out on the road

This thread = impending fail

Yea I'm bowing out before someone gets offended and I'm forced to take a vacation

To the OP, I pat you on the back for standing your ground and preventing yourself from being scammed out of your deal. Best of your luck with your sale...

OP,

That "tick" you hear once a Rev from the Flywheel is possibly the Magnetos not being gapped correctly of the Flywheel...

I had a guy try to lowball me on my trailer a couple of weeks ago. It is no beauty queen but it works for hauling stuff. He used the line "I would have to put alot of work into it to make it look good again." I laughed, named my price... never heard from him again.

OP good job not falling for the bs of the would be buyer.

That guy was just trying to pull the wool over your eyes. I respect someone negotiating on the price with me on an item and sometimes expect low ball offers, but to tell you what is wrong with your own item and say it's worthless and offer you dimes and nickles is just ridiculous. I always try to be nice and polite but I would have told him how ignorant he was and to get on down the road. You did well on rejecting his nonsense.
