And more pics of the "complete" car...

 

You're a nicer, more calm man than myself. I would have wanted to take that 2X4 that's holding up the window and crown him with it. I read over the email chains in TIF and this dude is a scam artist no doubt. If this guy is anywhere within driving distance from you and you haven't met up with him in person over this then I congratulate you on your self-restraint. I've had experiences like this while buying on ebay but nothing of this magnitude. A scammer shafted me out of $25 on ebay and I was literally about 2 seconds away from booking a flight out to visit him in person, but was talked out of it by a friend. It burns me when people lie in business dealings, especially when it's a case of "did you think I wouldn't find out about this??" If he gets you the "bits" as he claims he will then I'd just take them and move on, maybe somewhere down the line, when you have time, send him a box of dog shyt to eat. Oh, by the way, what does "mug punter" mean? I'mma start using that one...

 

that guy did get jammed BUT... he did also send the check and say he wanted it before seeing the car. Either way he should have had that guys legs broken. Also makes it hard not knowing pounds to dollar conversion to see how much he was taken for. Oh yeah I want a rear spoiler camera and EMV screen too !! Either way the car was a compilation of misc parts from other junkers.

 

what's a 32? just another name for the sc400?

 

I think maybe just different trim m odels of the UZ style engine. Has something to do with the active suspension and stuff we never see here in the good ole U.S. of A. It may mean something else but I think I am on the right track.
PEACE

 

I like this guy!. Exactly how I feel if I get duped. NOT IF, WHEN.

 

Yeah you're on the right track... Bill's referring to the UZZ32 Soarer with Active Suspension.


Jose

 

Sorry Guys, I should have explained;

I was not the one who got shafted, it was Smiffie my co-owner at TIF.
UZZ32 is the Active suspension JDM Soarer.
Mug Punter - reserved for a person buying goods/cars who does not have a clue, often referred to as a "Billy" (Billy Bunter - Punter, Cockney ryming slang).

 

Didn't the UZZ32 also have 4 wheel steering?

 

I have active air suspension.

 

Thanks dude, I just hate punk-azz shiesty ****'s that try to scam honest people. Some people just need to learn the hard way that if you screw someone else over for no good reason then consequences can/will occur. (disclaimer) Now I don't condone violence, but it seems that that's all some people in this tiny world understand. Bill, I can feel Steve's pain...hopefully he got his check for 600 pounds and his bits and he can go about the business of spreading the news about this guy to everyone in your trading/selling circles. On a side note, you UK guys get all the good options!!!!! EMV, spoiler camera, active air suspension!!! We want to dance too!! Damn't

 

People who try to screw honest people over **** me off to no end. Now i know mikeloc24 doesnt condone violence, but scammers like that guy deserves to get that 2x4 holding the window up shoved up his a**...

 

I suppose you could say there has been a few developments..

It's a real shame you cant post a link to Ebay because this is funny, search for Item Number: 2473018565

Rich Walker spent 45mins on the phone to Smiffie on Saturday, "You cant do that, it will ruin me, I will never sell a car again", bleat, bleat, "I will get the law on you for slander" (that only works if you tell lies).

Rich only knows about the **** going on at TIF, I dont think he knows half the western Toyota/Lexus world has been following with interest.

Smiffie said "he can keep the money because you cant buy this much fun for £200".

 

LOL on the ebay item

mods, sorry but this is just too funny
