Jeep update

I had a couple conversations with the yard today, first with the “buyer” of vehicles, it was a normal discussion with both of us agreeing that mistakes were made, he asked me what would make it right and I shot him a price to make me go away, he said he’d speak with the owner and get back to me. When I arrived home tonight I had a message from the owner of the yard, so I called and spoke with him, I kept my cool and temper in check while he just blew up at me and accused me of attempting to rip him off, I explained to him what I thought was wrong with the entire process as it happenend, and he finally agreed it was their mistake and he said he just wanted me to go away.

We exchanged prices but couldn’t agree on a thing,me high him low of course.

He says we’ll bring the jeep back and put it in your driveway, I told him NO, just drop it off at the dealer in town and we’ll have a certified mechanic do a function check to make sure everything that did work still functions and works, you have to remember this vehicle ran well, 4×4 worked, it just began to nickel and dime me and I preferred not to keep putting nickels into it. He says flat out, I’m not paying for a mechanic to look at this thing, so I said make me an offer, or I’m following through with the police report. He says take me to court and we’ll let a judge decide, so I said fine, I have no problem with that.

I’m not enjoying this conversation in any way, I wanted to be fair but at the same time make it right for me for being mistreated and slightly violated. it took a few minutes and listening to his voice get very high pitched and louder as we go back and forth wasn’t pleasant but it was what I felt I had to do.

We came to terms and he said the check will be in the mail tomorrow, and he hung up, actually slammed the receiver down. I waited a minute then called back and said, would you like the title when I get the check?….he says damn right I need it!! I can’t help but think to myself only in America where every man is king of his castle can someone be accused of being wrong when I really don’t believe I did anything wrong. Problem solved and I’m ok with the outcome… then why do I still feel violated?

Back when I first saw the post about giving your jeep to charity ,I was going ask why and what was wrong with it, NOW I wish I would have asked.

You still feel violated because of the way you were talked to by the owner , its obvious to me HE is NOT a people person.

Quit being hard on yourself now.

tell him to take it or leave it u gave him a price

I probably would not have been so kind. But as long as things are worked out it’s OK. The answer to being violated is just the fact that it happened to you. Clean the mess up in the yard , make sure the check is good before sending the title and sit back have a beer. Life will be good again.

You feel violated because you were. Your jeep was outright stolen. You did not know where it had gone and the police had to find it. The yard did not notify you they had it and I have to wonder if they ever would have if you had not tracked it down. They owe you for the yard. I would spread the word locally not to business with that yard.

I could never have been as kind as you. You’re a great person.

Don’t feel Guilty,you did the right thing in my opinion. That guy should be writing you a letter of apology, and hope his Buisness name doesn’t get out there.

Doing the right thing doesn’t always feel good but its what builds good character and integrity. Move on and hold your head high.
