ok so one of my customers plays for the oakland raiders and he apprecieates our confidentiallity with him so he will remain nameless in this thread. he's brought all of his cars here EXCEPT for his 95 z28 camaro that he replaced the motor, transmission, all the hoses, etc, etc. well after he got it back from whoever did his engine and transmission he had a vibration so he then took it to us where he said he wanted and all new engine put into the car. well after we got him the best deal we can find we consulted him that it would be cheaper to just find a whole nother car on craigslist. so i did some research for him found him 3 or 4 camaros and he actually bought one of them and he gave me his old one!!!...
well check this out.... the reason why it was vibrating was because the flywheel was bent! oh yea free car!

I had two near freebies last year:
1) 1964 Pontiac Catalina convertible
Bought it for 750, sold an 'extra intake' that was thrown in with it for 300, and spent $700 on a full on detail, tune up parts, and new tires. Sold within a week for $4,500
2) 1989 Mustang convertible...with ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES
Bought it non-running for 3k, spent about $750 on it, sold it for $7,000.
I BOUGHT IT BACK, TOTALED...for $900 and parted it out for $6,900 ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
