Default Built 2.7T HiPo Motor, TiAL R650 GT Turbos, Fueling, Available Once More...

Stephen, the former buyer, who just informed me by text message, that he can only afford $4,000 for the motor, and nothing for the TiAL R650 kit, is backing out. I was being EXTRAORDINARILY generous by agreeing to let him pay for both a little at a time, while he is deployed in Iraq. (Mind you he's still stateside at the moment, and he assured me at least five times that he wanted the whole package, and would have no problem paying for it.) I have a signed contract that says I get his car and the motor in December if he misses a single payment... but I'm just not that kind of a person.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/b5-class/msgs/752.phtml">Link to Classifieds</a></li></ul>

Default Mike is testing the engine this weekend.

If things go well then I wont bother you. If things go badly, and for some reason it always does, then I will hit you up.

Default yea, GL collecting on a soldier, BUAHAAHAHHA. its not worth it even w his sig. it'll be the worst

experience. even w legal documentation, there is no real way to 'collect' on him.

sorry, but i only trust people as far as i can throw em.

Default No need to generalize...

He had his own reasons, I'm sure. I just don't appreciate the manner in which he changed his mind.

Perhaps it's for the better.

Default I hate when these guys give the rest of us a bad name. As far as the good luck statement...

collecting is not difficult if you get the SMs chain of command involved. As a 1SG, I hate to see young soldiers who dig themselves a hole financially, it is seriously frowned upon, and if left unchecked, it snowballs. If you need assistance contacting his unit, let me know.

Default Nope... the one saving grace is that he bailed before anything was exchanged...

I simply need to find a new buyer, and he needs to work out his priorities before making commitments in the future.

No harm, no foul.
