Re: What Would You Do?

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...

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!

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


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