Sorry Johnny...but your post is laughable, IMO. You bought an S2 transaxle for $750 and you're complaining that he said it went into 2nd gear tough sometimes? Uhh...my friend, a properly good S2 transaxle (which is a highly desirable transmission BTW) averages about $1500 for a working unit in "good" condition. You paid $750.

See where I am going here?

You bought a sub par unit. That was mentioned as being sub par. Not to mention it was crazy cheap. 1+1=2.

I ain't too smart....do I have this right? Excellence does an article on what appears to be a really slick car that is sold soon after the article and it turns out to be a questionable piece? Maybe I can get my little pos featured in Excellence and sell it quickly??

Put a V8 in it and it will for sure.

Not sticking up for anyone here but........I once bought (for a friend actually) a wrecked mustang for parts from a guy I knew fairly well from work. The car had a bunch of aftermarket parts on it that made it a real good deal. I looked at the car, made a deal, and paid in full. When we went back to pick it up a few days later all of the parts that made it a good deal were now gone. Some of the ones that were missing had been replaced with stock parts. When I asked the guy about it he said he saw a few neighborhood kids hanging around the car and they must have taken them.......Fortunately for me his brother was transferred to my department a few weeks later and I fired him shortly thereafter. I was sure to remind him to tell his brother to enjoy the mustang parts.

So just because the car in Excellence was beautiful, that doesn't mean that's what was delivered and I believe that is what the OP is trying to say here.

Joska - sorry to hear about the transaction but great to see an old 968.net name here even if it is under these circumstances. Hope it all gets worked out.

Thanks Raj.

Bob, thank you for your decision. This shows the quality of the page. This is just a way to solve the issue before going to trail. This will be beneficial for both parties. Details are not shared, if there is still hope, that he contacts me and we are coming to a conclusion.

What would you guys do? Has anyone talked with him about this? He must have friends in the community. I am maybe thinking to fly over to CA and meet him in person. We have a holiday tomorrow. I like to get a little distance from this. That will give him some time to think about it.

In the mean time, for all of you, who want to see some pictures:

Well those pictures don't tell us anything.

How bad does the condition vary from advertised? Sounds like a lawsuit is going to be the way to go if you don't here from him. I'm sure if your lawyer sends him some papers that will get a response out of him.

Don't agree Chad, check out the Porvette at the Muscle Car site. I have a friend up who lives up in Jersey and knows the MC guys. He says they can't get any interest in the car.

Agreed, just surprised that someone might try to pull something like that off, especially with the nice article in E.

My take is that if anyone of you guys bought an expensive and exclusive car like this for a reasonable amount and it was not how it was represented to be, and then the seller wasn't communicating with you after receiving the money, you'd be straight on here with a similar enquiry.
I'm not saying this is what happened, I don't know of course, but if this is true then cut the guy some slack. I don't think Joska has gone off the handle during this thread either. I've no beef with Shawn either. Just my take.

i think i have a massive bowel movement in the making. You may ask why i am posting this here? Well i will tell you, because my bowel movement and most of the opinions here have something in common.

Wanna guess what that is. all the old ladies can unbunch their panites and go on with their life. nothing to see move along now.

Exactly...lets not dogpile on the guy...I'm sure there is a valid reason behind the post and hopefully it will get sorted out

FWIW, I purchased a transmission from Shawn and it was exactly as described. He also has purchased parts from me in the past and payment was quick. *shrug*

This isn't 100% relevant other than we're talking about the guy and he isn't posting.... so I guess I felt the need to chime in.

I hope this gets resolved for BOTH parties.
