...I just couldn't help myself.
Back story: A graduate in my program got a good job right out of school so decided to buy a brand new F250 4x4. Good for him. Here's where it goes downhill...

No peeking.





Stats of the truck:
400km on the clock, hasn't made his first payment yet. In fact this was Saturday or Sunday and he bought it Friday afternoon, and so far $5000 in parts have been ordered. No labour costs yet.

 

He's way stuck and a retard, but how is that $5K in damages?

 

I can't imagine $5k? It should be no big deal. Replace the carpet and dry it out...at least from what the pics show...

 

Water wouldnt of got sucked into the motor would it? or by the way its sitting its going down hill im not sure whats under the dash on the floor i never paid much attention. Maybe the water got up in there.

 

I think he means 5K in aftermarket parts (IE lift, wheels, tires) have been ordered.


I hope

 

gotta love new technology with all the fancy electronics. they love water which is why my 06 never leaves the road.

 

No, the engine is completely hydrolocked. That's $5000 in a new diesel, among other things.

 

only 5000 for the engine? i thought it was more like 12000?

 

Ditto that!

 

that looks like a gas motor. the badge doesnt look red from the pics.

 

^What he said

 

Maybe. I didn't actually ask, just assumed.

 

You can fix the truck, but you can't fix stupid.

 

What a BONEHEAD!...........

 

Actually, what I find interesting is that based upon the lack of dirty water spray all over the nice white sheetmetal, the driver obviously drove in real slowly. It doesn't even have spray around the wheelwell openings. Driving in at anything less than a crawl at hat depth would have diirtied the truck instantly. Wouldn't you think that after he felt it getting deep, he would have stopped and backed out instead of driving in deeper? He obviously didn't "plow" into the water. The stupid meter is pegged.
