I just have to laugh thinking about that giant hole in is cowl sitting in his driveway, here in Sacramento. We're entering into the rainy season, where it'll pretty much rain non-stop until March.

I laughed too until I saw the list (and pics) of the stuff wrong with that car. Even though he seems like a jerk, I hate for that to happen to anybody. Everyone should make a note of that seller.
 
What I think would be funny is the day Nick stumbles in here as a new member before anyone puts two and two together :rofl
 
His wife would just tell us that we need to "get some" and then call us mean people!
 
I find it funny that it seems on the link you posted like he is carrying on a conversation with himself but no one else is replying...

That seems to be his way of posting on different sites. It's more like he's arguing with himself, and loosing.

I went ahead and inspected the full car and took more pictures and here is a full list of things with pictures of the damages. I will also estimate how much it might cost me if i was to take this car to the shop and told them to fix it all... just giving myself an idea. i will do $80/h rate plus new parts.

-carburator looks old and would explain the difficulty to stay running. Delivery truck driver said its was hard to keep it running, and he stated the brakes dont work, and he had to keep the RPMs up for a few minutes to warm up to keep it going, but it took some efford just to put it in the driveway $300

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b88/n ... 020863.jpg

-Brakes feel really bad like there is a lot of air in the lines, only stops a little when the pedal is already at the floor. I almost rolled out onto the street by trying to reverse and repark the car, and my driveway is flat. E-brake doesnt hold either. $250

-There is a few rust spots and chipped paint, these areas would need to be sanded down and repaired, this might show some hidden rust also, this might be a pricy repair, $600

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b88/n ... 020885.jpg

With labor and parts im estimating $7,070



I can probably go get an estimate printed out from a local mustang shop and see how far over or under i am. This would be worth going to small claims court if i cant find a different solution with the seller.

Not only does he not win when arguing with himself, half his questions sound as if they are from a newbe into Mustangs. One would never know he built two $100,000 E-cars.......

He also posts under at least two names....upsguy and the old nickwhateveritwas......

It is a comedy act for sure.
 
Guess he doesn't realize most used cars are sold "as is"...the seller will probably tell him to F off.

But you got to admit it has to be a case of "what goes around, comes around" and I personally find a bit of amusement in the fact he got a car with serious issues...wonder if he'll find any great stuff in the car he bought?

Also a case in point about why I refuse to buy a car off ebay...if I can't got look at it in person then I am not interested. I've seen people buy cars who were told the frame rails are fine and when it's delivered they looked like Swiss cheese, etc.
 
That dude is an ass-clown. He spends money like some women I know at church. He has clearly would be better off doing something else with his money that is less dangerous to other people, like gambling or smoking dope.
