the body wasnt in that condition when my friend had the car... i used to see that thing just about everyday too. and to whoever said the paint doesnt match, you are wrong. the whole car was painted at the same time with the kit already on so i dont know what your tlaking about.

 

pics of it when my friend had the car



it was show worthy enough for tunerzine.com to want to do a photoshoot/article on it..

 

I didn't say the paint didn't match. The paint matches fine, it's these damn cracks I have to deal with. I should've used a ruler but most of them around between 2"-6" long

 

Why didn't you negotiate when you pick it up? seems like a logical time to do it rather than after the deal is done?

wanna sell this lemon to me?

 

The car was purchased online and then dropped off by a carrier, I didn't just take it home and find this.

 

oh, I gotcha. still a nice ride. GL

 

LSEGHATCH, First mistake is trusting this individual, with sending you digital pictures. You don't know if they have been altered. Second not going to seeing the car in person and notice all the imperfections. Third you learned your lesson the hard way.

 

Sorry about your deal!!! I had the same thing happen in Chicago with LUXURY MOTORS!!!

Flew in to buy a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 with 33K miles and the car was a peice of *****... I made them take it to the car dealer for inspection and it had been wrecked!!! The car fax was clean, BUT there was over spray on all the weather stripping on the front doors and engine bay!!! Plus the SOB still tried to sell me that crap with a discount! I told them to go to hell... They knew about it and said nothing.. Tried to just make a sell.....................................................................

Good luck my friend...

 

maybe the CARRIER damaged the car - ever think of that?

 

I have seen my fair share of this... Especially with a body kit. We use to ship cars for SEMA and CES in Vegas from South Florida. They tore an Ings front end completely off of our 350z. Most of the "Long Haul" drivers are redneck truckers and have no clue how to secure a lowered car with a body kit. We had to inspect them when we put them on and when they came off and even then we needed touch up paint.

 

Anthony said that the bumper was from going up steep inclines. Though he never said a thing about it being cracked and in this condition I guess he suspected me to know that since it was on a lowered car. The car was raised prior to going on the carrier, Anthony said the exhaust rubbed a little and nothing else, when putting it on the hauler.

Getting an estimate for complete repaint tomorrow afternoon.

 

thats what I thought in the first place.

 

LSEGHATCH,

How about posting some of the pics you saw before buying the car, of the same places that you just shot and posted.

 

But these cracks are in such awkward places such as the driver's side door and rear 1/4 panel.
