The crime here is This...................................................................................................

He simply underestimated This Community!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is not against the law to LIE!
How many here can say that they have ever sold a car, and told the whole truth, nothing but the truth????????????????? I'm about as honest as they come, and I will not Lie to you if you are buying a car from me. I will point out things you don't see. But, if there is something I don't want to tell, I will hold that back, and create an honest diversion to get off the subject.

He's gotta convince people that his salvage title car is perfectly OK. Personnally, I'd never give that much for a salvage title car, for fear of the real world.

MAN this guy is a real Bullshitter tho

For the poor new owner...................Maybe they will find their way here. We should not hold it against them. Godspeed, you should fill him in gently, and then we will school him on car buying, ebay, Supramania and other life lessons.

Man, I feel sorry for the poor sap who gets this car. It's prbably been ragged the hell out and would be limping into the driveway by the time this guy gets it home....:3d_frown:

The guy's a good bullshitter though, I have to give him that much.

I agree. He paints a pretty picture like it's his baby, and he did all the work himself, and hates to get rid of it. He acts like someone is going to be taking his baby away from him or something. He has good lieing skills and would probably be a good Texas Holdem player, but a lousy friend.

Me. Every time. I try to tell the new owner EVERYTHING that I know is wrong
with the car and whatever history I believe to be true. If the car is a total
shitbox, I tell them as much, and if they still wanna pay me, great!

same goes for me. My 86 Jetta Diesel was honestly, a diesel. People were like turbo diesel when they came by and i was liek nah man, its just a regular diesel. Some disappointed, some not. Car ran like a champ but i told the problems with the rust inside the door jams which i touched up really well so it wouldnt look like shit. I honestly think if you be hoenst from the start you will attract more buyers then if they find shit out along the way. car sold for 1000 in 2002 so i was happy! ( this was the car i bought back in 2000 when i was 12, go figure!)

ok the admin said I should say something or be banned so i will. my only part played in this deal was to look at the car and tell my friend beau if it was worth it, i said it was, he bought it. he saw the car for sale on supramania and said he really wanted it, i figured he just liked the car and wanted to keep it, i never interrogated him on why he wanted it you know. he is the one selling it, it's his account on ebay, ive spoken with him about wording the auction like it was me or something in a very pissed off way, he doesn't care, its making him money. im just as mad at him as yall are but honestly there is nothing you or I can do about it, if hes a liar then so be it, i dont want him as a friend anyways. this doesnt affect me or anybody else here so i dont care. if you want more drama to gossip about please by all means continue, ban me if it makes you happy, but i had nothing to do with this asside from helping him purchase it.

and you know it is his car, he can do whatever he wants, technically he didnt lie about the condition of the car, dont get mad just cause he is way smarter than you. and if you try that bidding up shit he'll just sell it to the second highest bidder so have fun with that lol.

well i think that if you had nothing to do with it and hes acting like you the you should report it to ebay. and as far as him being smarter than me hah! at least i didnt fucking lie about the mileage like that sorry piece of shit is. he is lying about the condition of the car the car is salvaged if you pull a car fax report it shows it has been wrecked i believe 3 times the last time totaling it. the mileage is approx 89k on the engine and 130k on the chasis. and i dont give a shit what you say i still think you are the one selling it beau had no clue about the damn car to begin with you did and im the one who told you all the info about it so it sounds to me like both of you are trying to sell it to get money. which is fine sell it runs great but i will do everything in my power to have it removed for false information.
thank you.
and if you have any question you feel free to call anytime ill be here.828-659-7505 or 828-655-0751

do whatever u want i dont care, i hope it does get removed, i tried to report it to ebay but they could care less. its simply my word against his, or in your case yours against his. and by condition i meant that it runs good and drives straight which it does, thats all. dont be mad that you coulda made 6 grand and didnt, its just not cool.

Its at 4200? Kinda off from 6 grand but yeah either way I would be pissed if someone sold my supra like that so you cant blame him but I dont think theres any legal way for someone to even make me part away from my supra unless someone offers me a rediculus amount of money for it.

well hes prob the one bidding on his own shit or eiother your doing it forhim to try to make it get higher. and when they get the car and find out that it has a bad wiring prob and the lights hardly come on unless you play with them and that when it gets hot outside it wants to shut off for some reason and it has a salvage title and the speedo wasnt hooked up when it was sol to you. and if you not the one who listed it then why will you guys not answer any questions on this car?

why will you guys not answer any questions? see that would imply that it's me on there, i dont have access to his account or anything, im not the one selling it. if he doesnt want to answer your questions big woopity doo, who cares. and i fixed most everything wrong with the car in one day flat for him, its called being a technician.
