So a month or so back, I sold my 1991 1G-A Eagle Talon TSI to Alpha DSM.

At the time, to the best of my knowledge, I diagnosed the current issue as massive boost leaks. The car was sold AS IS.

After the sale, he texts me asking how to do _____ or why this doing _____. Basically annoying texts all the time. Now, he texts me while I'm at school, asking who did this, how to fix this, telling me that this part and this part aren't working, this issue is popping up.

My point being...

Should I keep dealing with his texts?

I feel like for a car sold as is, I shouldn't be taking time out my day to answer questions.

He bought a DSM. Unless you were shady and didn't tell him if something was booty/ghetto-fab, just tell him to quit bugging you.

This seems to happen often with dsms.

Tell him there is a search button on the forums for a reason. If he has any questions he'll have to learn for himself.

lol, true. It happened to me and I sold a stock dsm. I tried to be helpful and made sure that he was fully sure he wanted to buy it before doing the switch.

if it was sold as is it was sold as is and no need to help but there is nothing wrong with helping someone out a little bit

This happens way too dam much. I get it all of the time when I sell parts. I sold a 14b turbo to someone once and he kept texting me asking how to hook up the external wastegate, and then he changed his mind and wanted a different turbo so wanted to trade me back my old turbo that I sold him for other parts that I had and i was getting to annoyed so I finally stopped responding and told him I dont have time for his shit. Tell the guy that it is HIS car now so leave you alone and use something called the INTERNET to find his answers.

guide him towards researching on his own. That's what I had to do. Research, REsearch, RESEARCH. You did sell it AS-IS, so at this point, you don't need to help that much instead guide him to VFAQ or to Tuners or someplace where he himself can learn much more about these cars.
I know some people who come into the DSM world thinking it's a Honda...no...no. It is not a Honda and it does not have a VTEC solenoid. *sighs*

The forums are here for a reason :) Tell alpha not to be shy, start a project thread, and let us help. Cars get sold as-is all the time and getting pissed off to no end isn't going to help anything, at least not in the long term.

Accept what you bought and deal with it. DSMs are endless project cars.
