Okay its kinda a long story but here goes.
So one of my friends got 2 geo trackers from a guy he knows. My friend got both of them for free as long as he gave the tires back that were on one. To get these from the guys house, my friend had to borrow my 20ft car trailer. And me and my brother went with to help him load them (neither would run). So we took them our schools shop and me and my friend worked the one he was keeping for himself. So i helped him drop the transmission, replaced the clutch and the throw out bearing, changed all fluids in the diff, the trans and the engine, then we replaced the fuel line in the back from the tank. We got his running and driving but it still needed gas so we took it to bp (on my car trailer again) and i put $10 in for him. So then we took it back to his house (still on my trailer) . We had agreed for him to sell me the other one (non running) for a price of $250 and a brand new lawn mower engine that i had. So we took it to my house until i could get the money together ( i had just spent my money on a new intake manifold for my car because the old one blew). So while it was at my house i bought a new fuel pump, new clutch cable and new shocks and put in lots of time to get it running. Once we got it running, he backed out of the deal we agreed on and demanded $400 cash. So i tried to counter at 300. He wouldnt budge. But then a few days later my head gaskets blew and i had to spend over $800 to fix my only car. He didnt care. I just got my car together and then a few days later he demanded $400 or he was going to take it back the next day. I told him that i was broke and if he wanted it then he could have it but he could pay me back for some of the parts i put on it. He was being a douche and wouldnt pay me a cent. So i disconnected power to the fuel pump and took the shocks off and then dropped it off in his front yard and left. The he showed up later that night all pissed off because we left it at his house. So i handed him the shocks and said get off of my property.
I just want to know if i am in the wrong here? I had every intention of paying him. About a week ago i offered him $300 cash because that all i had. He wont take it because he says he had to buy tires. But we would have had to buy rims and tires too and he got both geos for FREE! But the geo did sit at my house for a little over a month. But he used my car trailer 3 times, i helped him alot to get them moved around and to get his working ( he helped me none on mine) and he ended up with over $150 in free parts and i spent a little under $1000 to get my only car running. And he came and bitched at me for bringing it to his house.
So am i in the wrong here? Or was he being unreasonable?
