well i just got a call from a guy in florida about sellin me a motor with 56k on it for 450$ and 50$ for shiping
and he called me from a private number

sounds kinda fishy to me what do yall think

edit- he said the reason for sellin is he put a 4g63t in his 99 gs

1g90gsx · #2 03-09-2005, 08:30 PM

MAny poeple hide their phone numbers. Which is fine. Just get his real number and address, well hopefully he gives you the real ones. But I do find it unlikely that he put a 4g63 in his RS. You would have to be fuckin high to even think about doing that in my humblest of opinions. Tough call.

he gave me a number but said his phone was messed up or something that he was calling me from a phone card he said he would get a recipt of the shipping and put insurance on it or something

Starting to sound even fishier.

xavier3jr · #9 03-09-2005, 08:55 PM

yea i know right.......

and he said he gave the coil pack away but it comes witht he altinator ac condensonrs or something and everything else and its from florida to sotuh carolina for only 40$ shipping

I would pass. If you have to ask this many questions about a deal, there is probably a reason. Trust your judgement, and move on.

kjewer1 · #13 03-09-2005, 09:08 PM

that works. I always like to make expensive/risky purchases in person, even if it means a lot of driving.

xavier3jr · #14 03-09-2005, 09:09 PM

so i could give them the money for the motor they would go pick it up and pay him and bring hte motor to me?
