This is the one and only time I'm gonna post in this bullshit Chris having abad day thread. Read closely, don't misread what I say, and make sure you admit to yourself what I'm typing here. I'm going to make this clear and concise. Please try to follow.
- rusted to shit:
Yep, like I told you. It's Mk3 the rockers are crusty. Which is why I left the skirts on. I've even said that on here in build thread for the car.
-heat shields ended up falling off:
What heat sheilds? For the exhaust? How would they fall off, they would have had to go around the exhaust whic=h is 2.5". Thats not happening in a VW tunnel unless you tore them off.
-suspension in the rear was fucked:
How so? In the month and a half of driving the car, I made sure it was solid. I wouldn't drive something that was unsafe, nor would I put anyone else in something unsafe. Sure it wasn't from the tree or branches whatever it was you hit on the freeway? You managed to break the turn signal lens in the process.
-I was told the tires had 500 miles on them.. then after words when i was selling it claimed that they had 1000s:
Bold face fucking lie. I was very open and specific that I put 5000 miles on the car form the time I got it running (week before Thanksgiving) to the time you took possesion. I nearly brag about the miles I drive in a year since I drive a ton.
-The alternater needed replaced it never stopped squeaking:
Bold face lie #2. It was rebuilt with new bearings, brushes, and regulator when I powder coated it. Those cases won't come apart without de-welding the windings form the case. If you had EVER mentioned it I could have taken it back since it was under warranty for a year.
-the hood pin holes rusted:
Probaby, thats what happens to bare metal when it's not painted, then exposed to the elements. When I drilled for them I didn't paint the bare spots.
-needed and alignment but i was told it was going to be done before it was dropped off:
I dunno what to say. It had three. One by a tire shop that was shit, I re-adjusted it my self to un-bind the drivers axle (which I told you about), and the next by the shop that installed the exhaust I purchased before I brought you the car. Alignments are gonna be a bitch. Did you notice it was lowered a little? Everyone else in Columbus did.
-who ever changed the oil last put the oil filter on tigntened it so much i had to spend 2 hours getting it off:
Gonna get personal here. You must be a weak ass. I go out of my way when I do oil changes not to have the oil filter too tight. It's #3 on my list of car pet peeves. The car had 2 in 6 weeks.
-It had a miss that i could never get to go away when it was cold:
This started weeks after you had the car. You PM', or Texted me (I can't remember) me about it, and I gave you a few suggestions of where to look. I never heard back from you.
When you came to Columbus two weeks later with the title for the GST, I even gave yo the extra little bits I found for it. If I was in the market for screwing people over, I would have just told you to mail the title.
Dennis, if I missed anything here please PM me.
I took the high road on the car because well, its a used car. DSM project at that. Which is the perfect ratio for failure. Just how it is. I did part it out, I did come out ahead after buying the BMW. It's in my "fail boat build" thread. You know the one that makes certain Mods yawn. I bitched about the car not the seller.
Oh yeah, technically you never did produce an ECU. In that respect you never completed the transaction. It's not the responsibility of the buyer of the shell to provide me with it. It was yours. But this is splitting hairs. I don't care. In retrospect I should have kept the GTI, done the 16V, and been happy.
Sorry for the levity, back to the madness.
