Geez, not a good day, bad news

**Mike Diaz** · 03-07-02, 07:41 PM

OK, GRRRRRR

The bidding on the coupe I was trying to buy for parts went up over $5000 and there's no way I could ever pay that much for a car that I can't drive. Especially because of the title work.

The same guy that outbid me on that car, also outbid me on a 93 Legend sedan that was a rear end hit, and a 97 Integra Type R that was hit on the rear driver side. I wanted to flatten his tires for acting like a big shot and hogging all the cars, but i sucked it up, and got the hell out of there.

I have another shot at a coupe at a dealership in Cleveland, but I have to talk to the used car manager this weekend. Sorry guys, but I predicted wrong and I'll never do it again.

On the good news side of the day I got new Wheel and Tire hook up. I followed through with some of your requests, and some of yours got put on the back burner because of issues with my shop. Those who got requests, let me know, those who didn't please reply again if you still want wheels.

If anybody wants to request prices on wheels and/or tires of any size, I have a good hook up now with great prices and every wheel available on the market. Reply here with requests, and I"ll get back to you in less than 2 days.

sorry for the long post, but I had a $hitty day.

your efforts are appreciated, Mike

Maybe next time you'll come up on a 6 sped

jose3030 · 03-07-02, 08:56 PM

dont feel bad.
do it again the same way.
at least it gives people a heads up and makes it interesting for you to see if the car is a good investment....

Patience is a Virtue.

exactly what I was gonna do with the Teg or the sedan. But he just kept overbidding everything, the funny thing is,,,he ended up bidding so high, that after he fixes the cars, he's gonna have as much money in them as he would if he bought them without damage. Thanks for understanding guys. I'll come through for you all soon. I promise.

Good point, do those titles come "Salvaged"?

some are branded "salvage" but most are sold as clean title wrecks. Insurance companies are more crooked than you could ever imagine.

Heres some insurance company crap:

Like I said in another post I crashed my moms Mercury Sable into a tree. It wasn't bad, as I was going backwards and scraped past the tree on the side. Two doors were somewhat dented (no paint came off or anything). Yet the insurance company said the car was totalled and demanded we give it to them and they'd pay us something like $2500 (er for 9 year old car at teh time!?! only thing you could buy for that much then was like a 82 cavalier). In the end after some wrangling the car ended up with a salvaged title and we kept it.

Car insurance in California is state sponsored extortion. You are required to pay a private party or else face the muscle of the govt you pay to support.

To that I have only one thing to say...
Don't tread on me!!!
