I have been looking on craigslist for a reliable Deer Lease rig, and the Sammy seamed to be the best bet for squeezing through the narrow draws of my property. I found a decent 1992 JL, black, 138,000 miles, excellent original paint & no rust whatsoever. Drove decent enough, no leaks & no smoke, so I haggled from a ridiculous $4800 down to a just plain unreasonable $3800. In south Texas, these little guys are creating their own market, rust-free, smoke free versions are really hard to find.
So it sits in the driveway, now leaking antifreeze, dragging the muffler, and out of gas because I have no key for the filler cap. The motor that ran perfectly yesterday is now coughing & sputtering. Even the speedo stopped working by the time I completed the 15 mile drive home. Apparently, I suck at checking out a used purchase. That, and the seller was less than forthcoming. Shocker, that.
I need a good honest mechanic in San Antonio to help me get this little guy back on the road without a second mortgage. Any recomendations? Thanks----
