This is Bob Jones. I was looking for a WC-52. John Ferrie had one advertised on his website. We spoke and emailed several times. We haggled a bit but I had two concerns. First, buying a truck 1000 miles away without being able to see in person was out of my comfort zone. Second, the truck had no title. John was so confident in his description that if I wasn't satisfied with the truck he would refund my deposit. No questions asked. He also promised a clean title. I thought about it for a few days and sent a $1,500.00 deposit on a $5,000.00 truck. I told john I would pick the truck up when the title was ready. After about six weeks I received a Kansas title for the truck in my name. I live in Illinois. No mention of him or his company anywhere. What good does a Kansas title with an Illinois address do? Red flag. So I hook up my trailer and make the 1000 mile trip in 15 hours. I arrived in the late afternoon and started looking over the truck. Turns out he neglected to mention that the truck had a boom attached to the front and it looked to me like the left frame rail was bent down slightly. Also, most of the sheet metal was just set on the truck with no bolts holding anything down. He had almost two months to get this thing ready. I then asked about the title. He said there's nothing wrong with that title. After a little back and forth I asked for my deposit back as promised. He hesitated and said he didn't have enough money to pay me back. What am I to do. Here I am 1000 miles away with no leverage so I suggested a post dated check. He agreed and wrote a check payable a month later. We'll you know what happens next. I deposit the check as agree a month later only to find he stopped payment on it. It took 14 months to get $1,000 back he still owes me $400.
