The seller and I have come to a resolution. I sat down and did the math. I need a truck and I want to pay "X". This truck is a near perfect match but I am not going to get it for "X". So I could wait until I find a comparable truck for something close to "X", but may be a long wait. Meanwhile I have some immediate, cannot wait under any circumstances, work to be done that requires the truck. If I hire out the work to someone else the cost is going to be "Y". Now if I take what I want to pay for the truck and box (X) and add (Y) to it, well....X+Y is a number the seller will accept and we have a deal. I am out no more than I would be anyway in the long run, will have the truck on the farm this weekend to start doing the work I need done on MY schedule, seller is happy....seems like a good deal for everyone. Much appreciate all the excellent help!
We are currently arranging insurance and a plate, I have talked to Tom O'Conner and he has agreed to complete the transaction this weekend. Gives me time to do the preliminaries. After prolonged negotiations, I think we both did OK.
