What Would You Do?

Used car, sold as is, end of story. You can help him figure out whats wrong if you want to spend your time doing that, but do not feel like you have to. I have an auto tranny I could sell him if thats the problem.

I wouldn't worry about it; especially with these cars, who the hell knows what he did when he left. He could have been brake boosting the shit out of it and destroyed the end clutches or something. If he were lucky maybe the TCU went out on it but who knows.

Next time you talk to him ask him if he would have done the same thing if you would have broken a shift fork after the deal was final. If it was something that might have been overlooked by you that he should have known before hand then I would say help him out otherwise no way.

Whats funny is the other day when i talked to him he said he drove it home "Normally" But he left me a message the same night saying that he did boost it but only a few times...


Sucks, but buyer beware.

The one you got will probably throw a rod or something soon enough, I would not trade back.

Ha.. Dont say that! This car is actually really nice it has a major fuel issue though. But if that does happen he included an extra shortblock that looks to be in really good condition! :)


That sucks but im with everyone else. Hopefully you can get the title for his car without too much trouble.

I would never actually trade the cars till the title is in his hands and ready to sign over. Too many bad things can happen if you let the other person hold on to the title, etc.

Well im holding the title for his car and i have signed bills of sale stating that i will have the title by the 20th of Feb, If he doesnt deliver i will have to bring him to court. He doesnt seem to be that type of person and i've been super reasonable with him and he seems to appreciate it. Im just trying to be fair with him and get the situation figured out so were both happy. He doesnt want anything to do with court either, I kinda brought that up and he says that he will give me the title he is just bummed out.

It is for sure the problem, He says that it doesnt go into any gear! Doesnt Move! I just dont understand how he could have done that. He had to have been beating the shit out of it.

You should PM me some info on that tranny and a price. Also i will be calling u very soon for those parts:wink:


Once again thanks for all the advice. I hope that everything works out and in the end were both happy.

Maybe he doesn't know how to drive a stick, and blew up the clutch disk? I am always pretty nice with these things. I would try to hook him up with used parts or something if I could, but in the end he bought it. The rough part is that you still have to deal with him for the title for your car.

I believe it was an automatic.

By the way, what did you end up getting in return?

[GREASEMONKEY]

Yep it was an auto.. I got a 91 Talon TSi, pretty damn clean. There are a couple problems with it but i felt like i got a good deal.

Some pix of the new car!!

Nice! Auto or manual. If youre at all intrested in selling it (if everything works out), I will be looking to pick up a 1g by the end of next month. And thats exactly the color scheme I've been looking for.

[GREASEMONKEY]

Its a manual, And in very good condition inside and out. It will have many new parts in it before i sell it.

I'll keep in touch and let you know if i change my mind sooner, Either way i have to wait for the title.

[Constant_Project21]

I would have to wait untill I get my refund and my bday (feb. 21st), but it looks clean. Keep in touch for sure.
