I don't think you read what kronus said right. In what universe was my PM to you, which is shown above, "out of line"?
I am not upset. I am merely ensuring the time I wasted investigating your car is useful to others who may be interested in the car.
In your post above you said:
This is the definition of a non-running car. The battery doesn't hold a charge and the hood won't open. The fuel pump has failed or is failing. The front shocks are "blown".
lmao your logic is so fucked. Lol lets just make shit up to make your bullshit stick.
There was no bitching involved. All I did was post the notes I took in evaluating the car based on the information you have provided in words and photos. My goal was to get an inventory of the work/parts that would be required to restore it.
As I explained in my message to you: I am looking for a car to do a total restoration on. I do not want a car that is already in great condition. Your car is actually in such poor shape that it would be very hard to justify restoring it even for $3000. What would it take to turn your car into a "$20K" car?
THEN WHY DID YOU WASTE MY TIME?
- Full body restoration with paint. $8-10K easy.
- Full interior restoration. $5K
- New suspension: $3K
- Fix all mechanical issues: $3K
I understand you have put money and time into this car. Perhaps you enjoyed doing so. However that money is gone. It is called a sunk cost. Go look that up.
Your car is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. A car is NOT worth what the current owner spent on it. A car is NOT worth what the current owner believes it is worth. Nobody will pay a premium for a car simply because the owner was foolish in how they spent their money.
In the end there are only three facts that matter:
1) You hope someone is going to pay $5500.
2) I know someone was (was!) willing to pay $3000.
3) You communicate in a rude and inflammatory way.

As mentioned above,Take your offensive offer and shove it up your ass.
