Why does no one want my money

In reply to pimpm3:

Damez. What color and how do they look? Adjustable lumbar for the driver seat? Power? I need some grey rear panels for a coupe, too.

I will give a GRM'er a better price.

Anything on that Ford?

Nop r not yet I have been in Orlando. I will try to talk to him today.

I had a hell of a time trying to look at Mustangs a couple years back after my e36 was wrecked. Tried to deal with a couple of flaky SN95 owners, but the worst was the guy with the sweet fox body notchback. Bright red, looked gorgeous in pictures, think it had aluminum heads, cam, gt40 intake, ect. asking something like $5k. I wanted it badly.

Shoot the guy a text the day he posts it asking to come by and take a look after work. "Yea, sure I'll be around."

Text him as I'm leaving work "Oh sorry, got plans tonight now, come by tomorrow."

Next day, text him as I'm leaving work "Sure, come on by."

About 45 min into the hour drive there I get a call from him saying that he has to cancel because his brothers car is broken down at college and he has to go pick him up two hours away. OK, great, whatever.

By now its the weekend, so I give him one last ditch call on Saturday morning, only to find out he isn't interested in selling after all. berkeleying seriously?!?! Glad you spent the better part of a week yanking my chain and wasting my time. shiny happy person.

Woohoo I bought something.

The good

The ugly

Got it for $500. Looks to be about 2 inches of bondo right behind the drivers door. Underneath is real clean other than the engine and diff leaks. Test drive revealed weak headlights, radio shutting off and on, and engine stuttering. Didn't connect the dots till after the deal but thinking bad alternator. Brakes are crap but I've always wanted a 2 door GMT400

Sweet truck!

Thanks, but you should have heard my friend Chris, the whole time from seeing how thick the bondo was to the test drive he's telling me to run. Even after I got it for half asking price he's telling me that I paid to much. But then I mention buying a stud welder to try and pull out the quarter and he got all excited about using a new tool.
