Crappy deal, I'll buy them to help you recoup your loss.

Well if you figure the kooks + corsa setup with cats runs about $2600 retail, I'd say you got an OK deal for $900.

Well you might as well make your plans to part with them now ... kooks + corsa at WOT could probably kill small animals within 40 ft of the car.

bad news the guy called and the bank was coming for his car today at noon. i tryed to have him let me come up there last night to swap but he said he was uncomfortable with that. he was still going to try to talk to the bank but he thought it was going to be a no go. so im not so lucky after all.

Do you know his situation? You don't know anything about him so please don't judge him. I don't know him either but **** happens sometimes.

i was the first one to say shyt happens...but he sure as shyt new his situation b4 he
involved this poor guy and got his hopes up. and thats not cool...cool would be parking at a friends house (so repo man cant find it) not answering the phone, and doin the deal... then letting the finacial institution get what's thiers after he made good. but hey, not every1 thinks like i do.

Isn't avoiding the repo man a crime?

nope....it's not law binding...been there done that...when i was young and dumb
anyway...thats how i know "shyt happens"...but u can dick the bank around for months if u dont feel threatend by thier cheesey scare tactics.
its a crime for the repo man to come on ur private property...or to move another vehical to get to urs. so like i said, dont answer the phone when the bank or blocked number calls and do the swap like a man...a few days weeks wont matter. i hid a car for 4 months and watched a tow truck stalk my house for 72 hrs straight...he musta needed to take a dump or a shower and finally split. lol the story ends like this, i was able to pay off the entire loan and keep my car (plus 700 in fees). i dealt with the company paid to bring me to collections. bank signs off once that's done. repo man wrks for himself...and im sorry but aint no repo creepo salami sandwhich eatin stalker bum is ever gonna get the best of me. ;]
