Flag this ad!!! parting out a good pearlie!!!

[1986nate]

So, a buddy of mine in Rockford needed a power steering bracket as his broke and found a guy with 2 parts cars locally here. Well, he had to work so my other buddy and I decided to go pick it up for him as well as check out the parts cars just to see if he'll sell them as whole, maybe put one or both on the road if they are in alright shape since they have clean titles.

That is when I became pissed off!!! I look in the garage and there is a clean looking pearlie. 142k 92 LS-L pearl. I get to looking around, and looking again, there is no rust at all on the body, all body panels are straight, paint besides being dusty on the top is in great shape, glass is all in tact and in great shape, the windshield isn't showing any signs of separating. Interior has a mice piss smell, but that can be taken care of since the leather is in near perfect shape minus the smell. So I ask the guy if he's willing to sell, how much he'd have to have for both cars, or mainly just this one. He doesn't know, says he thought about getting it running, but wouldn't have a use for 2 of them, blah blah blah. So I ask again, How much do you need to have for this car? He says, well idk, I can probably make more by parting it out!

So I ask how much he paid for them, he says not much, since he bought them both from one guy for probably about $3-400 for both. I offer him $400. He explains he really needs the doors for his driver that is rusting out. Oh, and his driver is a 95 Emerald L AWD that he bought just a few years before with just 39k miles and is now at 68k miles, and this a$$hole is still driving this thing in the winter!!!
So I say alright, what will it take to get this car? You drive this in winter, I have near new winterforce tires on stock rims you could use for winter to protect your aftermarket rims from the salt. I also have 2 rust free doors to give even though you have another parts car with good doors you F%ck! (didn't actually say that, just loudly thinking it at this point). I'll give you any other parts in exchange that you might possibly use or want or need plus the tires, plus some cash, this car needs to be SAVED!!!

He says, I'll have to think about it, but I really think I can get more by parting it out... At this point, I'm about to just slam his head into something to knock some sense into him and just need to go away. I got his number in case he changes his mind, will be sending him pics of my tires, rust free doors, as well as pics of the garage loaded with parts. Hopefully he will realize that it will take a very long time to sell any amount of parts and take me up on an offer to get this car.

So, all I ask, is that everyone flags his ad on craigslist so that way it will be deleted and he can't sell anything. I should have gotten pics of the pearlie. It will take a lot of work to get the smell out of the interior, some of the engine accessories are missing, radiator is missing, transmission is gone, but other than that, is very complete.

All you have to do is click the link, flag the ad so it will be removed. Normally I wouldn't care this much, but this car is in better shape than probably 75% of the SVXi out there and definitely needs to be put back together.

I did not talk to the guy or act in the way I am probably reflected here, but this thread does not even show or explain just how pissed I was for a long time. We went over to look at the cars about 7:30 and left about an hour later. I had an upset stomach for awhile, that is how furious I was at this guy's selfishness and carelessness... I am almost always very calm and cool, but this guy just doesn't deserve to have an SVX at all...

Sorry for the rant and everything. Just this day, kinda ruined the trip for me. I almost wish I hadn't seen and didn't know. But hopefully, he will change his mind since he does have the other parts car....

That's all for now, until today I had a great trip and great drive back from Florida.
