I need a man!!!!!

[laurajane]

Thought the title might make you look!

I live in Higuey and have located someone who is selling 40 of the large yellow school buses which i need for employee transportation. The problem is i am a long way from santiago and know zip about vehicles and my husband even less.

Its a huge favor to ask but i am wondering if there is any men (or women, just incase i get accused of being racist) in that area that know enough about these things to maybe check it out for me and give me their honest opinion if it is in good condition and a good buy or not. Its alot to ask i know but i am hopeing a gentleman will help a damsel in distress and of course i will be happy to send you a bottle of johnny walker blue label or whatever tickles your fancy in return, as it would really help me out, But this is an expensive purchase so i would really need someone who knows what they are doing or can recommend a good mechanic in the area.

Thanks

Is it a Santiago dealer?
Did you say he has 40 of them?
We might be able to send a mechanic down there, but it would cost more than a bottle of JW.
Now, if I were you, I would ask Hillbilly (The most trustworthy Santiago man) if he can hook you up with a good trustworthy mechanic, and then pay him what it's worth.
You'll come out a winner in the end.
You can be sure that if HB says the mechanic is good and trustworthy, then he is.

I am going to ring the dealer tomorrow and find out a little more info, but i really appreciate you replying Rocky thank you. I will PM Hillbilly and see what he has to say. By the way have a great 4th of july party next week, sounds like fun, only sorry i won't be able to come and meet you all and put faces to the names.

Thanks again

One day, when all is running smooth with your biz, perhaps you'll be able to come up and join us for one of the big gatherings.

I PM'd you back. Are you buying 40 of them?? or just one??

I probably know where they came from: Zona Franca..if so I'm betting they are in pretty good shape...depending on the company...
