It's literally going to crush my soul to part this car out, but I think I can make another couple of thousand dollars over my asking price if I do it that way.

Ok, so my $7,000 offer looks like it fell through, but I have an offer on the bare shell of my car if I decide to part it out. Honestly, I will make more money parting the car out than selling it whole, but I really DON'T want to do that.
If somebody brings me $8,000 cash before the end of the day Sunday, the coupe is there's. On Monday morning I'm going to start pulling everything apart, and listing all of the parts for sale individually.
Feel free to look at the list of parts at the beginning of this post and PM me if you want dibs on anything. I just looked at the odometer from the SMOG when I bought this car back in 2006. I've only put 40 miles on this car the whole time I've owned it, so 90% of the parts on this car have less than 40 miles on them. That being said, the prices I will ask for the parts will be about 75% of the cheapest NEW prices you can find online.
Thanks! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Man...I'm all tore up! Now I have somebody interested, but I just did a really conservative list of what parts I have and what they'd probably sell for, and I could get well over $9k if I part this thing out. Is anybody interested in anything, to help influence my decision?

I made a deal with a CAFords member for a cash sale today, but that member called me this afternoon and told me he wouldn't have the cash until Monday. I have had three people blowing up my phone to come get parts off this car since yesterday morning, and as soon as my sale fell through I started emailing them and telling them they could come get their parts.
The car is officially no longer for sale! I will be parting it out. Please look for a list of available parts and pricing in a new post tonight. Several items are already sold/spoken for, so if you want something PM me asap. I will have the car fully blown apart by the weeks end.
Thanks for all the kinda words and interest.
For what it's worth, I'm done with foxbody's but I have a Chevy and a Dodge that will soon be getting 5.0's and T5's so I will probably die a CAFords member!!!

parting it out will get u m ore money of course but will take time and effort..however, it is nice to see a complete car go to a good owner and eventually be finished.

You know, honestly...I don't really care what's nice, or what's gonna make somebody happy, or make everybody feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I have had more time wasted trying to sell my "finished" car for a fraction of it's worth than I care to publicly relive. You know the saying "money talks and bullshit walks"? Well so far not one person on this board has showed me ANY money, but the bullshit flows freely, as always. If I see some actual cash; well then who knows what might happen.

MORE CA FORDS DRAMA!!!
Let me start off by saying that the following statements about LSwhat50, 1QUIK93, LSwhat50's mamma, and whoever the f$#k this other guy was are my opinions, and my opinions only.
Furthermore, a lot of you on this board know me, and know that I am a pretty fair guy, and not the type to misrepresent something that I am trying to sell.
Anyway, get out the soda (beer) and popcorn...
So, Thursday the 8th of July LSwhat50 was supposed to come buy my notch, but about an hour after he said he'd be on his way he calls to tell me he doesn't actually have the money. I tell him no problem...I'll just part the car out.
Later that day LSwhat50's cousin, 1QUIK93 starts PM'ing, telling me that I'm not a man of my word, because I told his cousin we had a deal (it was his cousin who didn't actually have the money), and I tell him that this bullsh!t is exactly why I decided to part the car in the first place, but after filling up my PM's, I reluctantly agree to let the kid by the car, so long as he can put the money together by Friday morning.
So I sold the car to LSwhat50 on Friday morning, and I guess he's been out having some fun in it since then, because evidently he broke it! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Early this morning (Monday the 12th of July) my phone gets blown up from some number I don't recognize:
"Hey bro im the one that bought the notch off you. Theres more problems then what you mentioned to us and we spent every last penny with the intention that"
"Theres nothing wrong with the car. The batteries completely dead wont even charge. and the brakes are completely shot. "
"Its up to you what you wanna do but i need the money back. I can return the car and you can part it out like you originally wanted. "
"I left the car at the gas station because it wouldnt start. I jumped it charged the battery. Everything u can name. So i just left it there. I can return your"
At this point I'm kinda trippin' out, cause the number I'm getting texted from isn't the number I've been talking to LSwhat50 from. Then I get a call from this number, and it's some lady (LSwhat50's mom), and she starts in on me about how I've taken advantage of her son by selling him a car that's not reliable. For the record, even as LSwhat50 was counting out his money for the car, I was telling him that this car has a lot of new parts, but that it was a "20 year old car", and "not a commuter". Evidently he was too excited to listen to my cautioning. Anyway, his mom starts in on me about how she legally has 72 hours to return a car for a full refund. WHAT!?! I tell her I'll call her back and hang up.
A minute later some other guy calls me, not LSwhat50, 1QUIK93, or the mom, and starts telling me how I screwed his little cousin over, and that they're bringing the car back up here and expect their money...all the while I haven't heard from LSwhat50, so I call his mom back. I ask her why I'm dealing with her and not LSwhat50 directly, and she tells me he's too ashamed to call me. She tells me how her son has a two hour commute and that this is his only vehicle, and how he only works part time, and can't afford the gas on a car like this.
I tell LSwhat50's mom that there's no way I'm going to refund them the full amount that they paid for the car, because I've already spent some of it. I explain how I had driven the car 36 miles since I put it together, and now her son's had it in his possession for a weekend, and that there's no telling what kind of damage he could have done in that time. I explain to her that I was very forthright with her son about how this is a HIGH PERFORMANCE car, and not a commuter. Then, with no way of knowing what LSwhat50 could have possibly f&*ked up on my notch, I offer to give them a partial refund, what I have left of the cash they purchased the car with...a little less than 3/4 of it. Well, LSwhat50's mom wants me to sign a contract, saying that as soon as I sell the car again I have to pay them the rest of the money...I told her that's not going to happen!
Anyway, the bottom line here...the reason that I am posting all of this up here, is so that when LSwhat50, or his cousin 1QUIK93 come back on here looking for another notch, SELLER BEWARE!!!
This is EXACTLY why I wanted to part the car out...I could tell that these people were going to be a pain in my ass from that first day when LSwhat50 called me to tell me he didn't "actually" have the money yet. But I went against my better judgment and sold him the car anyway, so I guess I get what I get. ![[BS flag]](graemlins/bs_flag.gif)

That's some crazy shit right there Casey. You have no obligation to give them any money back. I wouldn't. That kid probably beat the shit out of it and now has no money to pay and fix what he broke. Screw those kids. If they don't want it anymore they need to part that thing out. Hopefully they put it in there name. Which I highly doubt considering they are kids and I notice a lot of people don't do it. As is means exactly what it says. As is.

Another hour on the phone with the mom, and she said that I either need to pay the bill at the shop for them to fix the car, or give them back all of the money. I told her that somebody posted that they saw the car driving fast, and at the track, and she told me that when this goes to court I can bring "1000 things from the internet, and she will bring 1000 things too". Looks like I'm getting sued.

Are they retarded. You wrote as is on the bill of sale right? Let it go to court. Counter sue for your time and lost wages for having to miss work. Some people I swear.

Well, LSwhat50 is already talking about racing people on another part of the forum, so I'm not too worried.

You have nothing to worry about, don't get defensive. Used cars are sold as is, the judge will know the kid dove head first rather than having it looked at by a shop because of all the nice parts on it.

That's some fuckin bullshiiiiiiit!!!!! Tell them u will see then in court stop blowing your phone up.. I don't know the final price u sold this car to the kid at but I know this car is worth waaaay more then what u did sell it to him at.. I just bought s Gt that's pretty much the same setup as yours with jus a lil more parts and a built motor and anyone with common sense knows don't make that your fuckin daily driver until u get all the bugs out. U don't owe them shit, he fuckd it up his mommy needs to realize that shit. I'm sorry u even have to deal with this stress cause I been in the exact situation with someone I thought was my boy.. Try not to let is stress u out bro. And whatever u do don't take that shit back or pay em anything cause then u lose. U have this whole board here backing u on the right thing to do.
