just some feedback for you guys here on Sfl, I mostly just read and not post but Im just giving any would be sellers out there a heads up.
Sellers beware of this guy. He swore up and down that he wanted my motor and was interested. I sent him videos and everything, verifying the motor was in good shape and running before it was pulled from the car. I explained to this guy that my car was getting work done on it at a shop (RHD conversion + SR swap) so the motor had to be out by a certain day due to the shop needing their space and other time constraints. I had other offers, some wanting to buy it immediately, but he swore up and down that he needed it and pleaded with me to hold it for him, swearing he would come get it at the date and time we both mutually agreed upon. So in good faith gesture to help another forum member out I held it for him, only to get a text message saying he bailed because he found another motor. And when I mentioned what happened to our agreement he wasn't to kind in letting me know either. Just overall bad ethics with this guy, a nice heads up that he was looking for other motors or had found one he was going to look at wouldive allowed me to plan my schedule easier.
Just a fair warning to everyone out there, this guys a flake, I gave him a genuine chance by holding the motor for him when i had other offers because he claimed he needed it so bad, only to get screwed. Prolly my fault for being so trusting, but just keep this in mind when dealing with this guy.
