Justin, what isnt wrong with it?
Loose exhaust manifold bolts, loose OIL PAN BOLTS (one fell out, another almost fell out), loose j pipe, loose intake, loose downpipe, loose oil and coolant lines on the turbo, BLOWN TURBO, needs all new lifters because these are completely shot (listed in the ad though) odometer and trip meter DO NOT WORK, so there is absolutely no telling how many miles are really on this car (until I run the carfax to find out). Battery is too small for the car, cannot even perform a compression test because by the 3rd or 4th time turning over, the battery is so low it barely turns over. It barely turns over to begin with. So the compression numbers are reading all out of wack because of weak battery voltage.
When I say loose, I mean not even hand tight loose. Downpipe had a 1'' gap between it and the o2 housing, j pipe you could move around and lift up to about a 1/2'' gap between it and the turbo. One of the oil pan bolts fell out completely, another almost did, all the rest were loose. One of the coolant lines popped off completely on the way home due to not being tightened. Took me 2 hours to do a 30 minute drive because of sitting on the side of the road.
Auto Check says the last registered miles were in 99 at 48,000. Thats right, no joke,
So needless to say the mileage is wrong, even though the odometer states it! No way, thats not possible?! Oh yeah, the fucking odometer does not work.012/10/1997 GLEN BURNIE, MD

It doesnt piss me off that bad because its nothing major (hopefully, still have to do compression check, there is a slight chance something is wrong inside that motor. It just pisses me off I added all of this stuff to the trade, and I found this. There is no way he can claim he didnt know about any of this stuff, because there is no way he drove it like this. No way. I gave him a lot of stuff with it, a lot. I just want my xbox 360 back, the rest he can keep. That is the item of most value that I added, I dont think its too much to ask to get that back. Ive already spent $200 that I didnt have, plus its going to need lifters and a battery. And I have to get a radio because he pulled his old one out and didnt provide me with a replacement like he said he would.
And, to make things worse, I accidentally forgot a bag at my house that was supposed to be his, full of games, remotes, extra cords, etc. Well, he said he would call me Saturday to meet up and get the games, and he has not called me yet. So he obviously knows something is up, because he has not attempted to get in touch with me to get the games.
Just thought Id make it public.
