Full of Envy
 

On Saturday morning (2:30am) I found a 1994 Eagle Talon TSI AWD 5 spd BLACK with 103,000mi for $2,995 right at a ghetto used car place 5 miles away from my house. That day I went and looked at it; it was rust and ding and major scratch free, the interior was near mint, and the care was 100% stock. Unmolested what so ever, blew Ice cold A/C, was converted to R134a in 2000, and had a leaking power steering pump, valve cover, and one slightly bent rim. Nothing major. I went to the bank that day to get a loan, I was gonna get my money a few hours from now. I called the used car lot, some fucker bought the car this morning.

So if you're on here, I hate you. A lot. Because I'm jealous.

That's some funny shit. But in reality that happens A LOT with 1Gs as dealers. That car woudl have probably sold for 5k if he would have waited a bit.

Re: Full of Envy
 

Owned!

Re: Full of Envy
 

Yeah, I'd still probably pay $4500-5000 for it.

Re: Full of Envy
 

damnit. i am sooo pissed right now.

Re: Full of Envy
 

You should have put some money down if it was going to be a deal in the end, unless they wouldn't do that..

Sounded like a good deal though.

Re: Full of Envy
 

Always put a deposit down before you leave the lot.

Re: Full of Envy
 

yeh well i should have. *beats head against desk* I just didn't know if I'd get the loan so I didn't want to waste money.

Re: Full of Envy
 

hey, you can have my mint '92 for $5k :)

Re: Full of Envy
 

Unless its a stock, black awd 5 spd I don't want it. The stupidest thing is... my first car was a nice black 1992 GSX 5 spd with 63,000 miles on it.

Also, a girl I know saw a fancy truck and trailer there picking up a car... probably to get that Talon :(

Re: Full of Envy
 

Deposits are refundable. ;)

Re: Full of Envy
 

Hahah some surprise for all of us....

Sorry to hear that.

Re: Full of Envy
 

BTW, I'm loving the car ;)

Re: Full of Envy
 

ROFL!!! Thats awesome Allan!

Sucks that you lost the car but there are always more out there.

Re: Full of Envy
 

LOL, ARE YOU SERIOUS DUDE? lol are you talking about the one on bob's autoranch or something like that? i found it on saturday night, and took it for a test drive but i didn't like it because it was leaking somewhere in the valve cover, and all the little details that 1g's have, like the window not closing evenly, anyways i went back home and told the guy i was gonna go back then my uncle went back to the dealer looking for a car, and he told me that when he got there some asian guys were buying it already, if we are talking about the same car, both of us should go and kick their ass, lol

Re: Full of Envy
 

yeah, then get killed by their gang.

Re: Full of Envy
 

Well why didn't you put money down on it the first time you were at the dealer? Like some type of ernest money or something.

at foodsmart

Re: Full of Envy
 

Thats the one he was talking about. It looked nice on the outside. No rust, I didnt notice any door dings even. It looked really nice.

Re: Full of Envy
 

Hey, I know people at foodsmart and they arent gansters. They are just wannabes.

Re: Full of Envy
 

Sounds like I need to park my car at a used car lot. :D

Re: Full of Envy
 

I always do that if I find a car I like. On something as cheap as 5-6K they'll usually take $200-$300. More like a refundable deposit than ernest money though.

Re: Full of Envy
 

Exactly! Once I just put $100 down on a car and they saved it for me. Just telling them you're going to the bank to get a loan isn't good enough. They hear that story 50x a day. How are they to know who is serious and actually coming back.

Re: Full of Envy
 

The hell they are. I only refund deposits if something goes wrong on my end. I always end up losing money if the first buyer doesn't come through.

I'm in the banking business. Ernest money is usually only refunded if loan funding falls through or certain contingencies aren't meant.

Yes, usually ernest money is non-refundable otherwise. It's then considered a fee for the brokers/loan persons time and possible loss of a sale. For example, you put money down on something, somebody came by the next day was going to buy it but the dealer said he can't sell it because there is money down. Then you back out or can't get financing. He loses a possible sale because that 2nd person that was gonna buy it never comes back. Typically it's around $500. Some places might accept less.

No, only if they drive riced out hondas. The DSM asians are by themselves more of freelance with a high power rifle.

Re: Full of Envy
 

Basically I took me putting a deposit down as non refundable. That way if I don't go through, the seller at least gets my deposit for turning away potential buyers. I didnt know if the loan was gonna go through, so I didn want to end up losing what little money I had.

Re: Full of Envy
 

Hmm looks like RK just acquired a 94 Talon Tsi AWD..... big effing middle finger to you if thats the one I nutted over.
