Another problem buying a New Rig is, How strong is the converter financially. In this economy, I would hate to see him go out of business with my unit 50% completed.
I bought a new Prevost bus 3 years ago from a small converter. He kept asking for more money to complete my unit. When I went to his factory, I found out, he was using my money to finish other customers units.
It ended up costing me another $400,000 to complete my bus. It was dumb on my part, but I trusted him, known him and his product for years and didn't go to his place and check the progress myself.
The point I'm trying to make is, no matter how honest a converter is, in this poor economy, if his lights are being shut off next week and he is 3 months behind on his rent, what will he do?
