He let me drive 8 hours to my home with loose fuel lines and other nuts and bolts. Only one bolt,half coming off, was holding my fuel system together at the rear of the engine. the other came off. I could have had a horrific fire and possibly died. I know of others who sold components and scavenged from the sold units without telling the innocent buyer. I heard of tuners stealing custom tunes and erasing the customers tune by doing so. The seller of my car was a doctor and he lied about the car many times over. he was in a fight with the consigner and the car I received had bald tires, rusted aftermarket amolds, bird **** everywhere, a dead battery and an empty gas tank. NEVER BUY SIGHT UNSEEN. I can continue with many, many other atrocities and fill this post but I will stop. A friend of mine who is a forum member left shops with loose and unconnected shocks in the rear and loose c beam plates.etc... We are paying hard earned cash to maintain and upgrade these cars and we must get our monies worth. The same friend bought a car from a forum member and contributor and when he received the car it was scavenged of many parts probably because the seller was upset at the low price he had to sell. Lets be truthful in our evaluation of these great cars to each other. I know most of us are but some??..... always go see and drive the beast, if you can't don't buy it. I will never again be held hostage by a mechanic simply because he is the only game in town. You know what, I would rather sell the pos period. Please understand what I am saying to all members. Always proceed with caution and take it to the most knowledgeable and reputable guys around regardless of cost. the grand majority of our members are truthful but always check around with other friends on the forum. We need you guys to continue to put this great car in its proper position as one of the greatest cars sold by GM. You are the caretakers and I am sure will continue to do a great job.
