Just a question for anyone near Southern Michigan. Has anyone ever dealt with Fairview Sales in Eau Claire, MI? I'm looking at a tractor and just want to see what anyone has to say about him? Seems like a nice guy but this isn't a $300 tractor so just would like some references. Not looking to put anyone on the spot either so any input via PM is fine also. Thanks in advance. Jason |

| Thanks for the response guys. I can usually read people fairly well so I am probably going to get the tractor and keep my fingers crossed. |

| Just wanted to give an update despite the defamation threat from the owner. I would not recommend buying anything from here. All I can say is buyer beware. |

Ouch, I take it your read wasn't correct and things didn't go too well? Sorry, that sucks. I have a dealer or 2 I could comment on, but only if asked, and didn't know anything about them. |

Thanks for the update. There's nothing wrong with a recommendation, positive or negative. Anything like a defamation threat from a dealer makes me think they have more than a few unhappy customers/potential customers. Anytime I heard of businesses threatening about receiving bad feedback/reviews, it seems the bad reviews are well deserved. |
