well thats a bummer. I hope you get it all sorted out, it sounds pretty neglected hound that **** and try to get as much money back as you can, i guess thats what you have to expect for 8 grand. Once you invest some money shell be good, youve got less miles than me...

O snap... LOL. That blows man. I would try to get what ever you can out of him. My Mom bought a set of wheels on ebay, were said to have slight curbage, looked like one of em was hit in the face by a semi. Pics looked perfect. She got about half of her money back by consistantly bitching the guy out on the phone. Good luck man!

Thanks. Car runs awesome, I just finished the wheel bearing assembly yesterday. I got my tires put on, just waiting on my brakes to be here tomorrow morning then I will bring it to the dealer for a coolant flush and alignment and everything will be in good shape.

Yeah, I'm attempting to get money from him. I told him give me 700 to split for the new drive shaft. He tells me to buy a re manufactured one. I told him no I want new parts not failure prone parts. The car needs some loving care, and it will be fine soon.

Also I did run a carfax before buying, no accidents but it was stolen before in NJ. Everything was replaced that was stolen: (interior, wheels, front bumper) and an autopage alarm was put on the car. So yes its a rebuilt title and I got screwed on the deal kind of. I still love the car, I had it insured easily.
