I had nothing but disappointment with this guy
His name is Matt from MA,
He traded me a subframe for an Mtech II wheel when I needed it, and his subframe turned out to be damaged as well, and since I have been trying to contact him and nothing happened so far, he kept promising me that he would do the trade and so on, on the subframe that he game me paint was easily scratched and one of the mounts was still stuck in the mount hole. I should have known not to trade with him, but it was late and I had to get a new subframe...
Here is some of our conversation:

Just wanted to know if you had any updates for me. I know you are pretty busy most of the time, so I am not expecting or implying anything.
Thank you very much!

The subframe you are offering me at this point is straight from the car, right? not sandblasted, etc? (and I totally appreciate it!) That subframe woudlnt be worth that much - I mean its worth a lot to me, but I can get it for much cheaper than $220 I paid for the steering wheel. I was offering you about $50 for it before. And you have purchased bushings for me, which are perfectly new and I can replace them into a new subframe, which cost about $42 total, which I can round up to $50 for the sake of an argument.
I would like to propose the deal: I remove the subframe from my car, replace it with the one you would give me instead, and I can even give you back the subframe which is the sandbalsted and painted on my car right now. This brings us to about $100 on your side and $220 on mine. I can even give you an extra $20, since $50 for a decent subframe is a damn good deal. In addition to that, I can work on the price of the wheel, say its worth $180 - $40 off the price I paid.
Therefore, if you would be able to give me that subframe you offered me plus the remaining $60 ($180 - $120), that would be an ideal solution - I will definitely be happy. I know that you were unaware of any problems with the subframe I just installed, but I have paid a lot of money for that wheel and although I am rather glad already that you really would like to set everything straight and I cannot stress just how much I appreciate that - I would recommend you to anyone on the boards to buy things from. However I would really like to work out that deal I proposed. I know I will be losing money on that wheel anyway, and I accept it, but I would like to lose a bit less money than I would on a straight subframe + bushing to wheel deal...
Hope you understand my concerns.
Thank you immensely!
Sincerely,
-Artem

I have another subframe that i took out of my 87 to repplace it with a sandblasted one if you want that one? I am willing to help you out however I can just let me know what you would like to do.
Matt

My number is 617-XXXXXX, I can pick it up wherever you are, and you do not have to make the trip. Just call me, let me know when you are free and I can pick it up. Let me know if the deal is on as it was previously agreed. It has been over two months.

I mean he sounds reasonable, but then he just doesnt respond, and its really hard to get in touch with him.
The very last time ive talked to him I heard he had personal family issues to attend to in vermont from a person claiming to be his girlfriend, but that he would get back at me very soon, but that was about 3 weeks ago and since then I have heard nothing.
I havent been able to drive my car for the past 4 months, I have no idea what to do...
