well, yeah how did you get your car...went to the dealership and bought, online, from a friend or just a lucky find and ho wlong have you had it?

me, well my friend bought a civic si and fixed it, orginally had a theft title, he rebuilt it and put a basically new b16 in it (52k at time) new seats, brakes etc etc...so pretty much a new used Si Lol, i saw him rebuild it thru all the phases, even went with him to buy the motor.....then he decided he was gon sell it and let me buy it for 8k.....so i sold my hatch for some money and got a loan to buy this....so here it iz ( this was about a year ago this month) .....

07-27-2005, 12:21 PM
he tried to screw my brother, i would not reccomend them.
but thats me.
asking price 5995, got him down to 5500. then they take it to our mechanics to check it over and bring it back the next day and the guy says he never said 5500. but with some words from our father he went back to 5500.

Really? Did you deal with AR himself or someone else? He has some crazy cookies working for him.. but he seemed like a good guy.. I went to him knowing what i wanted...and I let him know I knew how much the car was worth.. I may be a girl but im not ganna let someone try and screw me because of it..

buddy i knew had the car (white hatch) with a GSR swap in it. He called me one day and said the timing belt broke and the car wuldnt run. I asked him if he check his adjustable cam gers to make sure they didnt slip, he said he didnt look, was done with the car and that i could come get it. I paid $3500 for it, with the GSR swap, 4pt cage, hondata, skunk2 coilovers, si wheels etc. i pulled the valve cover and sure enough the AEM cam gears slipped and went full advance. i moved them back to ZERO and cranked her up and drove her off

Well, I was going out to buy a Scooby but insurance turned out to be freakin ridiculous so I tried to come up with another car i had always wanted, wanted something practical and shit for college. Randomly thought Id see if there was any Jeeps I liked in my area (i know, NOT pracitcal!), went on autotrader and the first one I clicked on i fell in love with. Turned out to be at Hayes Jeep down the street from my house (great dealer btw). It was used, 12k miles, was a Jeep employees lease vehicle. Drove it around for a little while without the sales guy (old man who was real nice) and then when i went back I made an offer. I was in and out in under 30 minutes. :D

literally went from dealership to dealership cause I guess they couldn't see a 23 year old buying a G35 so I couldn't test drive without a credit check.. even when I went to check out STi's and Evo's I got the same treatment.. said f*ck it, found the car I wanted at carmax and paid cash. (which ended up being a fully loaded black G35 coupe)

bought it from the dude who lived across the street from me who obviously didnt know what he had. I'd see it EVERY day and be like damn, i want that... for like 6 months. All of sudden one day i saw him cleaning it out and i parked it... and hit him up... he said OK and bam... its mines. He had an 83 Starion, not running... about to be towed for being parked improperly. I spent so much damn money on this car that its not even funny... and it still wants more!! lol... ... that is why my signature is what it is. ;)

Sporty Accordy..... Went to CarMax, looked at all their Accords, saw that one last, my parents and I fell in love with it instantly, Looked it over, found out it was a 5-speed, red, sunroof (had to have it), all the schtuff that an EX comes with. My dad gave it hell on the test drive, and went in side and bought it.


CL Type-Sexy..... I was looking at S4's and A4's, Scubie's, V6Accord's, and yeah. So I test drove an Av6, couldn't afford the few S4's I found, No 5-speed A4's, and then I saw the CL for whole sale, so mom and I went and test drove it, came back the next day, and bought it.. Couldn't resist it. I know yous guys think it's a bitch car, and a womans car, and flamer's car. But I like it, and got a killer deal on it.

Yeah, fuckin AR MOTORSPORTS sucks balls! We agreed on a price, then came back with the car a few days later and he wasnt there (some other goon) and that guy was pretty cool. We said we agreed on 5500 so the guy there told us to call up AR so i did. He was all like what? i would have never agreed on 5500. I paid 5800 for it. I was like wtf? 3 days ago in your office you said 5500. He said no, and said take 5900 or leave it. That pissed me off after spending the time to drive up and back 3 time (45 min one way) and pay for an inspection. So i gave the phone to my dad and in 1 minute he agreed on 5500 once again. After all the trouble i went throiugh he still tried to fuck me over. AR's a fucking cock sucker. Sorry, just had to rant.
