Steve, I hope everything works out and can't blame yah for getting upset, hay 5 ⭐ video explaining things and hope to see the ole gal working. God bless y'all from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯

Glad a very frustrating situation seems to have worked out. I think your attitude on this is excellent. Now we're anxious to see this baby make money for you!

Steve, your a stand up guy, and like the rest of us, stand up guys, you expect everyone else to be the same, unfortunately that's not always the case. It's to bad some people feel they have to screw other people over. Okay, with that said, I'm just like you. I'm anti bullshit, now, that's a nice looking 315, I've always liked a 315, you can do alot of work with it, trailer it on a tag trailer. It's a great all around machine, probably one of Caterpillars best. I really look forward to your videos, I love the fact it's a Family operation, and you get to work with your son, who's coming along pretty good. Just keep being you, it's what makes the channel

I grew up when a mans handshake was his bond, it's a different world now.

You didn't get ripped off, beautiful machine for in the end a price that its worth. Thanks for the content!

Never seen a semi pull a trailer like that

Keep pushing forward man! At 3:38 it looks like that front cylinder has a bend in it also?

Thank you for the information, I have been wondering what the problem was.

Hi Steve. That sucks. Sorry you are having to deal with that. I'm am the kind of person that believes that a handshake is as good as a contract. There are too many people that, just like that dealership, are only out for themselves. That dealership should be responsible for your attorney fees also. Anyway, let's hope it gets dealt with and finished up quickly. life is too short to stay focused on the negative. Rather spend our time talking about the positives in our lives. Take care.

Do you plan on getting a hitch and a grading bucket for it - that might improve the currant bushing that are in the bucket linkage right now.

Bet money it’s not the only time they did this so they should be in a hurry to settle this to keep it quite

What new bucket did you purchase, width and capacity and manufacter?

Always do a VIN check on any equipment. Especially if it’s stolen

What thumb is on it? I have the same machine I’m looking for that type of thumb for. Thanks

too bad it turned into a bad experience but hope it serves you well ..thumbs up !!

I’m with you I hate lying and when that lye costs you money it makes it 10 times worse

That KW Tony got sounds good 😎😎

Sorry you had to go through the hassle.

It's amazing how bad they lie!

How much was the machine? Im looking to buy a 315c. Its listed at 67,500 with 8200s. Im wondering if this is worth it.

If you could get a new excavator what would it be?😊

Umm that machine was bought 1 town over from me😂

I hope everything works out for you. I hate getting mad too but it’s amazing how many people want to cheat in this world! Good luck buddy

I wonder, have you notified your lender the machine they lent the purchase price on is not the age and hours they had been told, or the money lent isn't the same as the money paid? The loan to value ratio is certainly skewed against the lender on this transaction. Assuming your agreement with the seller happens.

Steve… can you tell me the dealer is a shyster without telling me he’s a shyster??? Hopefully you get the full remedy. Because, every guy deserves the toy of their dreams!!!

This sounds like 2 dealerships I know of one in mass one in nh 🤔🤔

Sour deal man. Keep it swinging and focus on making money. the next one will be brand new.

He did you dirty, no question about it!! You should find out exactly what he paid the other dealership for it (in case he offered less than they were asking and they accepted it). They knew exactly what they were doing, committing fraud and screwing you. They need to learn a lesson here, a hard expensive lessen if necessary, so they don't do this again to someone else (especially if this only costs them "profit"+, not court and fraud charges). There is no telling how many others they have done similar to and will/would do in the future to. Not cool dealership!!! That aside, nice machine!! Can you get a manual or hydraulic quick coupler for it ($$$$$ at that size I'm guessing)? That will get you the right bushings and seals for that connection and you could then still use that bucket without an issue (that's an expensive "fix" to a wrong bucket ear setup, but it's easy to suggest spending your money.....😂) Hopefully this gets resolved to your liking and you can start to feel good about the "new-to-you" machine!! Have a good one!!

You're a better man than I am for not naming the dealer. They should pay your attorney's fees and time spent dealing with the bs too.

Wow, dirtbags will be dirtbags, do it, get your money, that's unacceptable, it's a nice machine though, thanks for sharing,

You didn't get ripped off. You just didn't do your due diligence. You get the serial number first, establish what year the machine is. When the '03 vs '01 year discrepancy would have come up, you should have backed out of the deal. Simple. Everything else is just a case of "caveat emptor."

I don't believe in suing people at every turn but, when someone intentionally tries to deceive me or cheat me, I'm all for it. In reality, that guy doesn't need to be in business anymore. Hope it all works out for you.

Good attitude, hope it’s over. Good luck

Hi Steve thing is how many times has he done this to someone else take him to court

How much was it

Sue them hard core and get that place shut down. That's way too much, bs. Yes he should loose his licenses. They don't want to loose there licenses so they can do this to others. They do t want u too sue because of all that bro. I'm sorry it turned out like shit. I'm glad u did post this video. Good luck. 👍 Don't white wash it u DID GET RIPPED OFF. That's sad that u had to go thru this crap. 😔 very nice ken

Talk over the loan with your lawyer unless you already have. The lender may take issue on the difference in years.

Yall are my kind of people.

If they keep playing games… fuck it… just own the dealership and run it how it should be run… with honesty… trust… and integrity 👍

I’d bet money this isn’t the first time it’s happened. Hopefully they loose there licenses or go out of business

That’s why I wouldn’t buy used

#DirtBruteSteve dude is a POS bum that mislead you into selling you a 03' under False pretenses. You should be able to out the dealership but ya can't. Hopefully you're happy with it now. Quick question ❓ are ya GONNA go team blue on the paint scheme ❓❓❓ can't wait to see her in action 👍👍

Hillview

8000 hrs ? 🤣🤣 hope you didn't pay more than 25k

I’ve got a 2005 315cl long and wide 2600 hours one owner great shape I’m going to sell

That machine is no good, drop it off in my yard😉

You are too nice! its intentional criminal and civil wrong doing! prosecute them to the full letter of the law, DONT ROLL OVER AND TAKE THAT, IF THEY GET AWAY WITH IT THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN, YOUR NOT ONLY STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR EVERYONE THAT THEY HAVE DONE WRONG, ITS YOUR RESPONCIBILITY TO YOUR FELOW EQUIPMENT OWNERS!
