    Ok people to clear things up on the trade he mentioned that the car had a small oil leak upon arrival he wasnt parked 2 min i looked under the car to see how bad it leaked the were at least 7-8 drops on the ground so the extra hundred adjustment was for the new rear main seal and the oil pan gasket that it needed and i already had the drags and the other 200 went to tie rod ends that were needed an alignment brakes getting the exhaust ran and the wheel bearings that were noisy also the car has bad transmission bearings that i never bothered rusty about not trying to bash on him but that was the reasoning for the extra boot

I drove two hours to meet up with him, 200 cash with me. Got there, and he said 300, and come to find out he didnt use the money for new tires, instead put drag's on it. It made me pretty upset, but I said nothing, as I was alone, and he had his buddy there. But all in all, I think I came out of the deal ok. However, he never mentioned the oil leak it had, and that 5th gear popped out at times. No biggie. I prolly will not do business with him again, but I AM NOT going to try to ruin his rep on here. Actually, I don't think I will make trade transactions with anyone on IA, ever again.

    Atleast I was honest about the oil leak, homie. I told you where I thought it was coming from. Im not bashing on you at all, I just didn't like how you jumped the price a hundred bucks, after I drove two hours. I told you everything that I knew was wrong with the car. You knew the car didn't have an exhaust system on it at the time. I wanted to have that done before I got rid of it. But oh well, what is done is done.
