Anyone know the whereabouts of my old zook???

Post by **Elmo** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 2:41 pm

Just wondering if anyone has seen my old 84 tin top sierra floating around?

Most of you would know it as the old rocbox rig, however i sold it about 12 months ago and the guy still hasnt finished paying for it... He has paid for the truck, but not the 37" BFG Krawlers on 17x9" Alloys

I know he painted it and then sold it off on ebay with no papers as an attempt to get me off his back... however i still have these... i have rego papers, receipt of purchase and all the engineers certificates for it, which i would be happy to pass onto the new owner provided i get my tyres back as this is what he hasnt paid for...

If anyone can help me in this i would greatly appreciate it as i am sick of pursuing this guy... i dont care about the money anymore, i just want my wheels and tyres

im away at work so have no pics of my own, however this is a pic i got off auszookers where he was trying to sell it

Even if you do track down the car I don't think you'll have much luck getting your wheels and tyres. the issue is between you and the guy you sold it to not the third party! Jmo thoughgoid luck

i believe it is team hazzard from TT this year,maybe try the TT site???? or luxzook(username on auszookers) is the bloke that had it before that after yourself and rocbox?????

edit:didnt see your bit about AZ.the hole sale did seem a bit suss when i was looking into buying the vehicle...good luck with it mate

aaah cheers tonka, will look into tuff truck for sure....

yea sale was a total cop out, when i found out it was for sale i knew straight away what was goin on, only found out from a friend whos a regular on auszookers

yeah zookster i know that, im just hopin that i might even be able to do a deal with the new owner with a few $$$ exchanged either way and i can walk away with my tyres and he can get all the papers.... hopefully

Yep. You may as well throw the papers in the bin and kiss your money/goods goodbye. Will be the last time you let something go without payment.

hope it works out for you but i dont think you will get your tyers back you should have went to the guy you sold it to to sort it out.sorry to hear that though,i think he sold it for like 2g so i got told.

Post by **Elmo** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 9:27 pm

yeah i been trying him for the last 12 months.... continually... this was kind of like my last resort trying to go to whoever bought it in the hope they wanted the paperwork so they could rego it and sort out some deal with them direct

2G???!!! WOW thats cheap.. i would have bought it back for double that... i know it needed work, mostly fab and metal work but 2G thats crazy

Post by **XXL_45L_CRUISER** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 9:42 pm

the guy you sold it to is mates with sam from overkill you could speak to him and try your luck but not shore how you would go though.

Post by **Turbo Tonka** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 10:14 pm

sounded like a young bloke when i was on the phone asking about it.started at 6k on AZ then to 4,3 etc then he told me to come get it for 2500 as is as he had 4K in fines

hope you sort something out man,its a shame that people cant be a bit more honest and do the right thing by others.

Post by **XXL_45L_CRUISER** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 10:34 pm

so i was close 2g $2500 i know it was not much at all.

now that its rolling for?? didnt get it

if i had a rig with no paper work id want it lol maybe im diffrrent.it was a good rig though.

Post by **Elmo** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:01 pm

yea i heard the same story about the fines... was his consistant excuse for a long time... your right man, honesty would be nice... wonder what happened to the good old days of shaking a blokes hand and sticking to your word?? as far as im concerned, your word is all you have

so if its rolling on boggers i wonder if he has my old wheels in the shed somewhere?

I always thought about it when Nathan still had it, everyone told me too, i was just alaways too nice to actually do it... Definately no way i could do it to new owner... not his fault

I was actually thinking more along civil lines.

If by chance there was some form of written agreement stating car cost is $XX wheel/tyre cost at a later date is $XX then the prick could be held responsible and you should be able to recover funds.

If it was Car with wheel and tyre is $XX total with split up payments then the prick didn't own the car that he then onsold. You should then be able to recover the funds from him.

Unless you had a registered interest in the car there would be no way you could/should/would be able to go after the car from it's new owner.

If you didn't put anything in writing your chances of getting anything out of the situation are either nil or none.

If you have a written agreement that he is going to pay you $X over a period for particular goods, and he hasn't made the payment, go through the small claims court in your state.

Usually the first letter from the courts saying he is being sued and he'll hand the cash straight over...

Or give him one last chance. Write to him and say something along the lines of:

"You have 28 days to make final payment on <whatever it is> or I will be sseking payment through the courts.

You may not even need to get the courts involved...
