Anyone ever have to file a claim with USPS and have them deny it? Currently in the middle of this nonsense with USPS. Any brotips or insight?

[Matt-B]

Over 50 times. I had to deal with that, you the seller or buyer?

Certain packages like priority only carry a 50$ insurance. Sometimes if item is more then that, and it's damaged. They try to say poorly packed. Yata yata. Take pics of everything

Man, honestly I'd stop using them. We switched to UPS and never looked back. Sure its more money, but never have these issues. Or only ship priority.

Contacted owner says it's still forsale. What do YOU think? Price condition etc.. Worth it or naaaa

It's a month old, make sure its still for sale.

Seems like a good car. I'd take a look and drive it. make sure its rust free. Or maybe that doesn't bother you.

I feel its a pretty fair price, depending. I personally would be wary of buying a car that has had that much iffy work done. I like to get stock and do the work myself or know who did most of the work.

From what the ad says it doesn't run.. Needs throttle hooked up shift linkage clutch lines and fluid.. With that said now what do you think?

IMO it probably needs more work than he's listed. People do that shit all the time. They point out a few "not so big" issues, and there are underlying issues he hasn't disclosed. The car seems like it's owned by a kid....

Raceland coilovers, quick release steering wheel, etc, but the car doesnt run? His priorities are obviously elsewhere with the car.

I personally wouldnt waste my time even looking at the thing.

USPS is a joke, UPS all the way. USPS is always dropping off dented packages and my mailbox is a locking one with a slot and so basically anything bigger than a CD they will keep for another day before it makes its way back to the post office so I can get it... And USPS has terrible online tracking, the scheduled delivery day slides a day or 2 like every shipment

lol surprised its not in pieces on facebook. I'd buy this to part it out. Raceland coils are mostly shit, you'd end up pulling those asap. And the wheels arn't that rare being 5x120. This has many many red flags. Most notably, it can't run under its own power. If you have $3K burning a hole in you pocket, I'd try and find the cleanest original one you can. Or a vert if you're into that thing. Just my opinion of course :)

I just got my coilovers on and adjusted last night. I need to check the toe on the front as it feels in a little bit but drives pretty good considering the spring rates the setup came with.

I like those wheels! What coils did you end up with?

I got a set of Ground Control that was supposed to go on a PRO3 car but the project was cancelled before they were put on. It has the "race" camber plates, 600F and 800R springs, adjustable Konis and came with already modified strut housings with new hubs. Also had IE upper rear shock mounts. I was contemplating going the cheep route and getting some Megans, but I am glad I didnt.

No kidding, still felt awful about it taking so long..

Heck, I could have jogged up there in less time.

damn, those tires look beefy as hell. I'm hoping my car looks a bit tougher when I get my 235s on
