I KNOW for a fact that you can tell that a clutch is slipping it does NOT slip and die in one night.. he told me the car had no problems whatsoever and him and his mechanic friend and everyone that test drove it said that the clutch was very good.. if it was so very good why did it die less than a hour after i got it? I called him to ask him if he knew what was up and automatically got very defensive and told me that we already signed papers over and he was not going to worry or do anything about it as if he knew it was slipping or had problems..

My mother also called him and he told my mom that i floored it out of the neighborhood.... I had a friend FOLLOWING me in a VAN with my parts which did not know directions so why even make up a story like that? That is just false accusation and completely wrong.. He kept telling me that the car was fine and it was my driving that caused my problem... I have been driving stick for 3 years almost daily.. and im sure i would assure you i would never abuse a clutch so much that it would die out in less than 30 minutes..

Thanks alot Jeremiah.. you sure fooled me.. and now im gonna be without a daily driver to school and work for however long it takes for me to get this problem fixed and a couple of hundreds which i do not have... May God bless you...[/QUOTE]



OK, lets see both sides of the story if we will before things get way out of hand... I knew something was coming and am sorry to see this happen. So lets get the story straight.

first and foremost, he test drove the car twice. he agreed to the terms. I told him to the best of my knowledge what was up with the car. I had other people test drive the car before hand and they said nothing about the clutch. I drove it and it was fine for me. I told him that I had not had the car that long and to my knowledge this was a great daily driver... that being said, if you read his message he states that he had to drive the car at higher RPMs for a good bit... Anyone knows that that will tear up some stuff... all that heat... He could just as well have stopped then and there (when the car was still running)... and called me and I would have come picked the car up and taken it home... But he didn't... He kept going. At that point he messed up something else in the car. Then he calls me when he is on the side of the road telling me that when he puts the car in gear and lets off the clutch, nothing happens (it doesn't stall out or anything). I had my mechanic friend john in the car with me and he said he had never heard of that before... If you all have ever had that happen, please let me know why that happens, cause I don't think that is due to wear and tear... but more abuse...

That being said, the kid did not have his mom call me (if you are going to talk bad about me, please don't lie to the people on here... get the story straight). His dad called me and threatened to bring the law to my door. I told him that I would gladly work with him with whatever he felt was necessary. I haven't heard a thing since then, and now someone cracked in to my sig and put some nastiness on it... So I figured something had ot have been said.. welp here it is.

All I can say is that if you feel that I am dishonest then I am sorry. I would love to help out anyway I can, but please everyone, see both sides of the story before you go off on me... I am also sure that a few other people test drove the car and can say something about it... I just hope they find this thread... cause they can vouch for the car.

I will end by saying that He was not honest about his car. He said there was a Skunk 2 chipped ECU that was supposed to be there... (um there was a 94-95 GSR STOCK ECU but that's it).

I knew that I should never have traded, but I did and this is what I get. Thank you all for your post as it helps me realize that I do fall short every day... I mean, I never said I was perfect. You can take this as Holyrollerz or just me... Either way, I just ask that you would think of the problem lying in Jeremiah's Lap and not in the whole organization. I have failed in your eyes and I am sorry. I only look to better the situation as best as I can, or at least learn from my mistakes...

thank you all for your time

Why do you keep insisting i was abusing the car? its a STOCK 240 i was driving home with a friend that was a driving a van with my parts in it.. he did not know where to go and i was not in a familiar area also and i just got the car why would i abuse it? i drove regularly onto the highway once i drove on the highway i noticed the clutch slipping, i thought it was possibly something else, i didnt think he would trade me a car with a bad clutch because he seemed like a really good and cool person. so i drove a lil bit on i soon started having trouble keeping up with my friend because the clutch started slipping drastically and before i could pull over to call i was forced to as i barely made it to the side of the road...

That being said, the kid did not have his mom call me (if you are going to talk bad about me, please don't lie to the people on here... get the story straight).

i called my mom telling her i was stuck on the side of the highway.. and she was so shocked and angry at both jeremiah and me, it was not my dad that he talked to it was a close friend of the family as my mom does not speak english fluently, i do not know if she spoke to him directly but she told me about how he responded and she told me he said nasty words that made it sound as if he knew what was wrong and wanted to ditch the car.

Ok... now you would love to help me anyway you could.. that was not what you said that night to me on the phone you told me you felt sorry about what happened but it was not your problem anymore which was cold words that pierced through my ears as i was sitting there off the side of the road speechless.

I told you everything i knew about the car, i gave the phone number of the guy i bought it from i listed the information that was listed when i bought the car, i personally did not go and check the ECU but i do not know why the seller would lie about the ECU, but it was a hell of a deal and the car still is damn worth it even if that isnt a skunk 2 chipped ECU theres no rev limiter and the cars still strong, the ecu isnt going to keep the car from running.

I knew that I should never have traded, but I did and this is what I get. Thank you all for your post as it helps me realize that I do fall short every day... I mean, I never said I was perfect.

i do not hold anything against holyrollerz, i was just appalled at how you reacted after what did happen i assure you i did not abuse the car and if the car was reliable as you said it was, it surely would not have left me on the side of the road that night. I really do hope that you do take some responsibility for what has happened.. currently i have spent a week over at a friends house to have a ride to school and work everyday.. which i really thank God that i have a friend like this. That he is providing for me even after this very hard time..
