unhappy new owner.what to do?

[restosud]

sold a 2000 sj a few weeks back for $2450.
new owner pm's me upset about hood paint peeling off.

he's removing the hood stickers and the hood paint is peeling off with the decals and he's really upset about it.

i have 3 other guys ready to buy it as is.

should i buy it back from him?
keep in mind we all know about the paint issue on sj hoods.
WHAT TO DO????
am i responsible for this ?
what is the right thing to do?

 

[Matt_E]

Tell him to pound sand.

Offer to buy it back for same money, while letting him know that there are other people ready to buy as is.

 

[Magnum Mike]

Tell him he could sell it for $2450 to one of those 3 guys if he regrets his purchase.

You are not responsible. The right thing to do is let him know he got a deal and other people will gladly take it off his hands.

 

[701superjet]

tell him its his problem now, he got it for a fair price

its not like the crank blew the first day he started it. its not a big deal WOW the paint is pealing, stock hoods always peal theres notihng you can do about it

True, maybe he will call one of them and realize he got a deal based on others willingness to buy as is.

An analogy:

Someone buys your used car with a bumper sticker on the trunk. The buyer then tries to remove the bumper sticker and jacks up the trunk's paint job.

Is the buyer or seller legally responsible for the jacked paint job?

I bet the buyer.

I am all for standing behind stuff I sell. But HE is the one that peeled the sticker off and the paint with it. That happens on these hoods and it's in no way something you are resposible for.

 

[RACRBOB]

I wouldn't buy it back from him. If peeling paint is the only thing the buyer is upset about then he is doing good! The paint on a SJ hood will come off just by looking at it wrong. The fact that he taking the stickers off and the paint is coming off with the stickers is not your problem.

All sales are as-is and final when purchasing a nine year old used ski!

 

[Bonzia Bob]

Did you paint the ski, no Yamaha did, tell him to call them...

 

[GDFL]

I think you're responsible for paying for a complete custom paint job. You obviously KNEW that the paint could peel if he pulled the stickers off at some point. You're such a scam artist. I think a custom Blowsion paint job paid for by you is the ONLY reasonable solution.











Or not. Wow. Some people amaze me.

Yeah I did a sub on Gil's wife's SJ and the stickers were almost clear off with the paint stuck to them. I was like sorry man and Gil said it happens, Yamaha's are known for that. Must have been why he had it painted this winter.

If Yamaha's are know for the paint peeling, then I would tell the buyer you can give him the numbers to the other interested parties. Otherwise, the ski was sold as is and it is now his problem.

 

[SuperJETT]

Tell him to send it to Blowsion or Wamiltons for a paint job and send you the bill.

Like others, it's a known problem. If he wasn't aware of it, he is now.

 

[tightithrash]

tell him to learn how to ride it so all the paint on the hood comes off.......

True story, Dave does one dam sub on her ski and 1/2 the paint blows off the hood. LOL You gotta love oem Yamaha hood paint! It is CRAP. Dave was feelin bad about the paint and I knew it was seconds from flying off w/he got on the ski-NOT DAVE'S FAULT or RESPONSIBILITY---OR YOURS.

Keep in mind, DAVE is gay. BAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And Steve has a poster of Dave in a g string in his garage! ARGHHHHHH

 

[OCD Solutions]

Send him a link to this site and get him to post "just bought this ski, what should I do?"

We'll fill him in, and welcome a new member.

When I started taking my decals off and the paint started peeling, I felt guilty, the old owner took such good care of the ski and here I was defacing it. Funny how we all react differently. Some people are always victims.

 

[Scorn800]

Sounds like the buyer should have been more careful peeling the stickers off.
