    Default Delfonik is a Fucked up seller

    I bought his 98 LS Integra with a GSR swap a month ago. My friend Andrew bought a Prelude from him so I asked Andrew several times if he was a reliable and trustworthy person and he told me yes. The Prelude was fine, no mechanical problems so I started to trust this guy.

    Delfonik recently posted up a 98 integra with a GSR swap. I asked him several times if there was anything wrong with the car and he told me the car is PERFECT. No LEAKS or anything. At first he told me the car would not pass emissions and he can get it to pass from Li (Vinh Body) for $100 extra. He also told me that the car has no leaks and pretty much nothing was wrong with the car. On the day that we were supposed to meet up, which was at Vinh's Body Shop, he gave me a call when I was half way down there and told me Li doesn't have the parts to pass emissions because he just used it on one of his customer's car. So I was like thats cool as long as he can get the emission to pass within the 30 day range. When I got to Vinh's Body shop, I saw that he was washing his car. I asked for a test drive and he gave me the key. I took the car for a spin and i was cruising around 50 mph+ and I heard noises from the tires. He told me that the tires needed to be balanced and it's not going to cost much but $20. I also heard noises coming from the AC compressor, but he told me it was the noise of the Megan header? After I parked the car and looked under the car to check for leaks, I saw some fluid but i thought it was water from the car wash.

    Long story short, I paid the guy the amout he requested, and later took it to a certified (dealership) mechanic to get it inspected and guess what the mechanic told me..

    Tires make noise because of the camber wears and I needed to replace all 4 tires + alignment, VTEC does not engage, the noise from under the hood was the AC compressor gone bad, there was a transmission leak, also the power steering rack was leaking, shocks were blown, EVAP system leak. The last thing I found out was when I took the car to get the timing belt replaced. The motor mount on the driver side had a crack and two of the bolts broke in half and is stuck inside the engine. The mechanic told me it seems like the mount was glued onto the engine. Now im running on three engine mounts.

    BTW, I have only driven this Integra for 1K miles and I rarely get on it.
    The guy and his freind Li never called and talked about the emission problem.
    I just want everyone to know that Delfonik is a lying ass, low life scum bag that says one thing and does the other. So much for his religious belief crap.
    I dont need his ass to pay me shit but everyone needs to watch out for this bitch...

    Sorry babe, but never buy a car without taking it to your mechanic first. It sucks he wasnt honest but you suck for not checking everything first.

    First off, I told you EVERYTHING I knew about the car. Also, everything I knew about the car was stated in my original FOR SALE post.

    FS: 98 Integra LS - 2000 GSR Swap GSR/ITR Interior Milano Red $6,000

    Second, I did say the car did not leak any fluids. I had the car for about a month, and it never leaked anything on my garage floor. In regards to the evap leak, I do not know about that, and never had the car checked out. I do know when you were test driving the car, EVERYTHING worked fine. I even told you to turn on the a/c and open and close the sunroof while we were driving. You even brought a friend with you, who also test drove the car. You asked him for his opinion, and he thought the car was fine too.

    Also, like I told you, I only had the car for a month. I never got it checked out, but I never felt the need to since everything worked, it didn't overheat or burn oil, and it did not leak any fluids.

    Please don't try to sit there and call me dishonest. Like I told you before, I had just purchased that car, and I never got it checked out. I told you everything I knew about the car. If I would have known something didn't work, I would have said so, just as I have done on the other 5 cars I've sold this past year.

    I would have had no problems taking the car to a mechanic, if you wanted. I drove 2 hours north of where I live just to sell it to you, so I definitley wouldn't have had a problem taking it to someone, prior to purchase. You never requested to do so... However, you did bring a friend with you to check out the car. Both of you looked at it, both of you test drove it. I told you what I thought was wrong... I said the noise from the tires were probably from them being out of balance, and it would be $20 for a balance. I said the noise from the engine bay was probably from the test pipe. I said the timing belt and w/p is original, and would eventually need replacing. You never mentioned anything about a noise coming from the a/c compressor until AFTER your mechanic checked it out. Like I said, I told you what I thought was wrong. You're acting like everything that you say is wrong with the car, I knew about prior to selling it to you. You call me a lying ass, low life scum bag that says one thing and does the other. I never lied to you, and I never withheld any important information from you either. I told you EVERYTHING I knew about the car.

    Also, please don't involve Li (Vinh BodyS). I asked him for his help just as a favor to try and help you out. When I first posted this car for sale, I had it at $7500obo. You said you wanted it, but kept lowballing the hell out of me. I proceeded to lower the price after finding a car that I wanted, and even got moderator aaronfelipe to modify the price on my post numerous times. When I finally lowered it to $6000, which was my firm price, you then said you were ready to buy, but wanted it to pass emissions. I told you that if you gave close to my original asking price, the car would be emission ready when you bought it. You didn't want to do that, and you wanted to go the cheapest route possible. So, I asked my friend Li if he could find the parts for you, but try to get them at a good price since you didn't want to spend a lot. I was doing that as a favor. If you wanted to spend the money, those parts could have easily been found, but you were trying to be as cheap as possible.

    Finally, you sit there and warn people to watch out for me because I might "scam" them. Dude, I've never scammed anyone before, and I didn't scam you either. You even talk about your friend Andrew who bought a car from me. If I was such a scam artist, why would he recommend me to you. I told him everything I knew about the car I sold him, as I do everybody I sell to.

    Also, in your last response to Li, you say he knew something was wrong with this car?!!??? The only reason I was at his shop was to get my other car. Li NEVER drove my car and he never inspected my car. How would he know if there was something wrong? Does he have some type of magical power that would show him what's wrong with a car without inspecting or driving it? LOL

    Man you hear a shitload of noise coming from the car and you going to sit there and say that nothing is wrong with the car and never bother to get the car check out. You have to know what was wrong with the car that is why you dropped the price from 8k to 6k. Don't even say because you are desperate to buy li's hatch. And if you knew nothing was wrong with the car, why would you try to sell the car withing 3 months after u purchased the car and you had to go through all the trouble flying to florida to get the car and drive back.

    Why don't you just fess up man, if you made a mistake let them know. It's not like im asking you to give me a reufund and shit because i bought the car AS IS. I just want people to know what kind of a person you are. Ever since i got this car from you, i have put in another 1k something to fix most of the problems, and now the engine mount problem is going to cost me another 1k to get it fix. Just fuckin fess up and stop being a lying ass bitch.

    Come on man, its all about reputation. If have been getting good reputation might as well keep it up. You can't be a good guy at one point and then turn around and turn into a villain just to make some extra cash or to sell someone your trash. Yea its also my fault for trusting him, and i never said it wasn't my fault. Like i said, this thread is not to get my money back, it is here to inform you guys and if yall dont care, dont bother to post.

    In regards to me flying to Florida to buy the car... Yeah, I bought the car there. So what? It was only $67 for a one way ticket to Tampa, so I flew. Big deal. The person who I sold my ITR hatch to drove from Alambama to buy it. The person that bought another hatch I had was from Orlando. The car your friend Andrew bought, I got that in Jacksonville, FL. What does that have to do with anything?

    In regards to why would I want to sell the car right after I bought it? That's not the only car that I have sold immediately after purchase, and it's not going to be the last.

    Also, in regards to the price drop. You're saying because "I know there's something wrong with the car", that is why I dropped the price? I ALWAYS post my car's at a higher price with obo. That's because of lowballers like you. The car I sold your friend was originally $4000obo, and I sold it for $3100.

    In regards to me "fessing up and stop being a lying ass bitch." Dude, you need to quit crying! You're the one that sounds like a little bitch. If I know there is something wrong, I list it. You keep saying I knew there was something wrong... Dude, If I knew, I would have told you.

    You then say this...

    First off, there wasn't a shitload of noise. There was noise coming from the tires, which I told you about, and there was a little noise coming from the engine bay (that you didn't even ask about until AFTER you got home). If this noise from the engine bay was so bad like you say above, why didn't you say anything during the test drive? Why didn't your friend who also was in the car, and also took the car for a test drive say something? It's because the noise was minor. It wasn't a shitload of noise like you say. It was so minor that I didn't bother to have it checked out.

    You keep insisting that I'm lying. You're insisting that I took the car to a mechanic, had them check everything out, and then purposefully not tell you what was wrong. LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE YOU BOUGHT THE CAR: I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND NEVER HAD IT CHECKED OUT!

    Check all my other FS posts for cars. My Prelude that I sold your friend, and my ITR hatch, I knew everything about those cars, and knew what was wrong. Those cars, I knew what was wrong, and listed it. The other hatch, I didn't have it long enough to notice anything wrong, if there even was anything wrong. I didn't list anything wrong with it because it drove fine, no CEL's, everything worked, etc.., and to my knowledge, there was nothing wrong.

    This is the car I sold his friend...
    FS: 1996 Honda Prelude S 93,xxx original miles $4000 obo MANY PICS
    ITR Hatch
    FS: 2000 Civic Hatch JDM ITR Swap CLEAN $7000 FIRM
    Other Hatch
    FS: 1998 DX Hatch, *S2K White*, 99-00 Front End

    Dude, you seriously need to grow up. All the name calling is seriously lame. I don't know how else I can prove to you that I didn't know there was anything wrong, other than the stuff I told you. You call me out on Import Atlanta, and you have it dead set in your mind that I was lying to you. There is NO way anybody can tell you other wise. Even if God came to you in a dream and told you I was telling the truth, you probably wouldn't believe it. Just grow up man! You want me to tell you that I took the car to a mechanic, had them look at it and tell me what's wrong, and then sell it to you without telling you what was wrong. I will not do that. That is a lie. You want me to "fess up" to something that I didn't do. I won't do that!

    DUde stop brining in my freind, he was there just because i asked him to take me there to purchase the car. HE has not experienced with cars and neither do i. I just bought the car because my other freind told me i can trust you, plus the price was right and so i did and got screwed over.

    As for the noise under the hood, i did mention when we were there. You told me its the noise from the aftermarket header. Don't even deny it because you know i did ask you what was that noise under the hood when the car is at idle..

    You know what, lets end it here. Here is an advice, next time if you dont know shit, then dont say shit or assume stuff. Not everything is easy as to fix as you think they are and not everything is as cheap as u assume they are. Spare another person like myself, from falling into the same scheme and get caught up with financial issues. NO ONE LIKES TO BE FUCKED OVER.>>

    LMAO! I'm a villain? haha

    Dude, you keep contradicting yourself.

    You make this callout thread on IA saying that I lied to you. You're trying to convince people that I knew everything that was wrong with the car, and then purposefully witheld that information from you.

    You then say it's your fault for trusting me. If you trusted me, what's the point of this thread? I told you from the beginning, before you bought the car, that I never had the car checked out. If you trusted me, and believed me when I said that, then this thread should be deleted!

    Dude i trusted you and then i got fucked up so therefore you're a bad seller. I am not contraditing jack. Put urself in my situation and see if you will be mad or not. I am the freaking buyer that bought ur shit that you said was "Perfect" and then issues starts to arise. Now im stuck with your mess and you're saying you have nothing to do with this. Dude, where are your morals, you're probably 5 or 6 years older than me and more experience with cars so i know for sure you know what was wrong. If you want proof of the problems of the car, i can take pictures and post them up.

    He didn't use those exact words, but he's insinuating it... The only way I would have know about the stuff that was wrong is if I had it checked out.

    First off, I never told you the car was perfect. I actually told you upfront what I thought was wrong with the car in regards to the noise, but also told you I never had it checked out.

    Honestly, 6k was a pretty good price and with the money he saved he need to invest it into the car.

    japan4racing if you dont know shit dont say shit. THe camber wears was from the inside part of the tires how da hell am i suppose to know if they were bad or not. You can hear vtec but you can not feel it. Ac compressor makes noise even if the ac is on or off. Like i stated, he said it was the megan header. If you would of read my post from the begining i told u he had a mini car wash so the water underneath the car was not certainly a leak until i brought the car home. The guy only let me took the car to 50mph and told me to pull over to a parking lot. The tire noise were not that loud until you hit 60 +. Once again japan4racing, if you don't know shit GTFO. I realized some of the problems but not all before buying it. He told me the noises were easy fix and not much is involved.

    This thread is not here for yall to talk shit about me. I am just poiting out a bad seller, and if yall dont have nice shit to say then get the fuck out.

    He can do an even swap for the ecu's. He's going to charge $150 for the cat and labor. He will give $50 for the test pipe and conversion harness.

    So you'd be responsible for $100. So it would be $6100 total. lmk




    Well, I live 1.5 hours south of Atlanta, in Warner Robins, and I'm not sure when I'll be going back up there. I'll have to check my schedule and let you know.

    There is NOTHING wrong with the car. Does not leak, overheat, it does not smoke even at higher revs... No tranny grinds or slips. Clutch is great, a/c is cold, everything works! Alarm pages the remote if it is set off.

    hey just a thought. i just had a gsr swap put in and the guy had the plug on the bottom of the vtec solinoid and the one right below it crossed and my vtec would not kick in. i switched them and it kicks in fine. i thought that might help one of your problems. good luck...............

    its real simple son......everyone knows when you lower a car you get negative camber. it wears on the inside of the tires. all you have to do is look at the tires and see if there is camber wear. how were you supposed to know?....look mother fucker, use your eyes. its real simple

    this is a really simple one....pop the hood and put either the left or right side of your head near the compressor. you will notice that the right side and left side of you cranium have these things called ears. use them and you can hear shit. if the compressor is making noises it is probably bad.

    seriously if you dont know shit about buying cars dont post about some one ripping you off when you are obviously at fault. its an old ass car. its used and most of the time these cars are abused. you should have known what to look for. and all the shit you described was shit you should have seen or brought up after you drove the car.

    Quote Originally Posted by bibong

    did you bring them up......look man, nobody made you pay for that car. you did it on your own. if you were too much of a noob to realize what you needed to do then its on you. the car is obviosuly reliable..it made it to atlanta and you are driving it still. the damn thing is nearly 10 years old. wtf do you want a new car? get the fuck over it and move along.

    your stupidity has made this a thread that makes ppl wanna talk shit about you. delfonic is not a bad seller. he has sold numerous things here and elsewhere with no probs. you just made a bad mistake. i dont have anything nice to say to you but im not gonna gtfo...in fact why dont you ead and diaf because you are lirl.

    everything you posted about sounds exactly like a noob mistake when buying used cars. the shit you posted is shit that everyone looks at when buying a used car. face it bro, you fucked up. now count your losses and move along. and please, for the love of god, quit posted your stupid ass threads about ppl when you are the one that knows jack shit about whats going on.

    Ok japan4racing u gotta put ur self in his shoe, let just say that ur just a kid who spent ur whole high school career saving up the most money u could to buy a car that u really like. All of a sudden u found the car u really like and u happen to buy it from a guy who said the car was reliable. Than u bring that car to a mechanic who than tells u all these type of problem. And than u ended up putting another 2k into that car. Wouldnt you get piss off if you were that kid? Wouldnt you get piss off at the person who sold u the car whether he knew about the problem or not?....not every is a expert with cars as u. He even stated that he's not experienced with car. Because he is not experienced with cars, the only real way he can see what was wrong with the car is by the seller words. And the things the seller said bout the car being reliable must of not been true since he had to put in another 2k. He is just posting this tread b/c he feel like the seller trick him. So just put urself in his position b4 u post nemore things about him and imagine how piss you would be rite now if you were him. And than on top of all that, you have this honda expertise telling you how stupid you are for not knowing all the problem with the car when you were checkin it out...again man he not experienced with cars....

    ive been in his shoes before, and i did not make the same mistakes. it has nothing to do with hondas or acuras..its a general used car thing. you look at tires, you look at leaks, you listen for noises...its common sense. its a really simple thing. he made a bone head move and now he knows. the car is most likely totally fine but some retard trying to make money told him all this shit was bad and now he is all upset. all the more reason to learn about his shit. dont trust anyone but yourself. time to learn my freind. learn well or get fucked over and over again. its in the game..and you know what they say....dont hate the player, hate the game.

    Dude shut the fuck up I bought a 93 eclipse as my first car. . . Wanna talk about repair bills? Just like you I didnt know shit about a car when I bought it. Now I know alot more than I did. Take this as a learning experience and get over it. You made a mistake by not taking it to a mechanic to check it out. So take the hit and move on.

    Man you sure got swindled

    Too bad you just didnt check the car out enough before buying. You have to understand, when buying a modded car, that nothing ever installs just like OEM when you take it apart. Remember the old saying "If it aint broke, dont fix it", as the correctly assembled stock stuff was removed and replaced with aftermarket hardware you have to factor in installer error since we're men and not robot on an assembly line. This is particularly why buying a swapped car is bad idea unless you know exactly who did the swap and can consult them in the future.

    Why do you feel the need to call him out on here instead of dealing with him personally and using the name-calling as a last resort?

    this thread is ridiculous. Anyone with common sense knows to fully check a car out before buying it. A month later after getting my car, i had to replace the CV axles. Am i gonna bitch to the dealership about that even though it said "as is."

    I know from experience you need to fully check out a car before buying it. Just because something is there the seller didn't mention doesn't mean he actually knew about it. Take it to a shop and get it checked out. I bought a maxima a while back and the price was so good and it drove fine, just was a bit low on power so i assumed the belts were just slipping as they looked old and worn out.

    I ended up needing to get a bunch more work done to it as i didn't check it out in advance. Just learn from your mistakes , take the hit, and don't be a bitch. Get it checked out. It's $50-100 out of your pocket and worth the money

    omg are u guys fucking stupid? This thread is here to point out that he is a bad seller. IM NOT MAKING THIS THREAD TO GET MY MONEY BACK. This thread is also not here for you guys to tell me what i need to know and what i don't need to know. ITS HERE TO POINT OUT HE's a BAD SELLER. How da hell can i be a bad seller when i bought the car with his asking price. He did not give me a discount or mark down price becuase the price was set for everyone else.

    Yo QD, this is Vuong. The car Delfonik sold is in great condition. I check this car out and test drove it before he sold it, which he then bought my white EK. He lets me do a complete checkup on all his cars that he sells or buys. mechanical wise, its superb. he does not sell anything that is a POS. if there is anything wrong with it, its little shit like road noise or camber wear. Last time i check, dealership is in to make money if you dont know shit. how do you not know your vtec is engaging or not??? lol @ this thread. Car sold for a super great price.

    O great another freind of his, didn't he stated that he did not let any mechnic check over the car? Now you pop out of no where saying you did a checked up on his car. You just contradicted what delphonic said in his earlier post.

    First off, I never told you the car was perfect. I actually told you upfront what I thought was wrong with the car in regards to the noise, but also told you I never had it checked out.
    If yall would have some common sense, yall would know who is lying by now..

    quit your crying man. I am not a certified mechanic, you ass, but know all about the honda world. I do this part time. i did this for him as a friend. I did not do a 50 point inspection or anything. all used cars will have issues, and this car did not have any mechanical issues wise, which means engine and drive train are perfectly fine.

    BTW billy bong, the one thing you need to know when buying a used car is, THERE will be some problems with it. I am letting you know that there is no mechanical issues with the car when i checked it. Do you even know what a leak down tester is? it came up in the 0% leakage range. That is an A++++ when buying a car, in your case, you are crying about it.
