Recovery Part 2

Posted 08-20-2019 at 06:00 AM by crazycuda

The failed first recovery was a big blow to my confidence, but the following day we loaded up tons of tools and equipment. This time we weren't going to leave without my trailer.

When we arrived (again after hours) there was a couple walking dogs in front of the dealership. We entered the lot and backed right up to the trailer. Out came the tools, spare battery and other items and we started trying to power the jack with jumper wires. while we were doing this the couple with...

He quickly replied the trailer was on consignment and the owner wanted $15,000 and he listed it at $7,500 to show there was more interest in it at a lower price. After some discussion we decided to approach the owner with an offer of $7,500. The GM said he didnt expect the owner to accept but would try. 45 minutes later...
