Are you kidding me?

[Storer]

Hi Sven

Not interested in purchasing.........thought I would get that in up front due to your frustrations.

I am curious why you are selling the parts? Have you got new plans for your car?

I`m sorry I have to post this once again because it just happened again and I`m getting more angry every time:

Once again I had the great pleasure of dealing with someone for 3 days who bargained with me for parts of the engine bay "package" and we finally found an agreement. So I put the engine on a cradle, mounted it on a pallet, started packing the exhaust system, wiring harness etc. and all of a sudden he was suddenly overcome by the realization that he didn`t have the money to buy it now. As the title says: ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?
Guys, if you don`t have the intention of actually buying one or all of the advertised items and/or don`t have the means to do so then PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE!
Over and out

Oh dear me, I hope it's not from a regular on here...

I think many start their build by getting a few parts at a time with a relatively small outlay. They can get a bit more when funds allow.

The trouble is that the engine, it's ancillaries and a gearbox is a major chunk of money. As much as an average family car for a good spec unit. It is crunch time for a builder and many realise they haven't got the available spare cash.

I sympathise Sven.

I for one need to save up for the engine...

buying and selling is always a stressful thing.

i was let down recently trying to buy something, so I wouldnt make too much of it on a public forum.

Do you remember Kyle and roadrunner that bought two off for uk ( they long left this forum) that they described a bag of scrap...? well they stitched crafty up and offloaded to China...never heard how shocked he was...? But he has also gone quiet... Just thinking it would be ironic if this was one of them back to Europe.....

Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick with what your selling........?

If not it was a cracking lead in with the rest of the SLC 370 missing off radar saga...

You`re right, probably better off selling it on ebay then. There`s at least some buyer/seller protection. I thought it would be a great opportunity for new builders and all of the parts are Ultima specific. I guess I`ll just take out the big buck items, these are the ones that are difficult to handle and cause most of the frustration...

Nope, luckily not me. I never had anything to do with the SLC or parts of it. Here`s what I`m talking about:

If its a used engine I doubt you will get any buyers from new builders as this will make their build a 'Q' plate registration, which is not desirable

maybe it comes with the original purchase reciept?

It is, I wash`t aware of such a regulation - but it should`t be a problem then for an engine swap/rebuild?

Actually yes

SchimmS said:

Actually yes

then shouldnt be an issue for someone building from "all new parts"...
the engine just has a few "test/ tuning " miles on it..

You have a point there, I was just recently contacted by the former and last wife of Nelson Mandela!
She asked very politely if I could assist her in getting $62M out of her Country and the commission for that would habe been 30%. I was very tempted but thankfully declined as it only was USD. Euros would habe been a different thing...

True, unless it has been registered to another vehicle after the receipt date in which case it might prove difficult.

This forum has a "no name, no shame" policy which I`ll stick to. You can always PM members if you want to.
I think my initial post says it all but as you asked you weren`t the final straw.

I'm sorry Sven however, we never agreed a price. I asked you what price you would sell the items at and you answered. We did not settle a price.
Secondly, you packaging the items, putting it on a pallet etc. was being hasty on your part. You got ahead of yourself and that's only your own fault.
Next, I actually didn't say this on the final email I sent to you as I was being polite, however, another reason for not purchasing is that I cannot be 100% sure that the engine has in fact done the number of miles that you say it has done. The same can be said for the gearbox. I'd rather spend more on the same package, brand new, and know its not done any miles at all.
Lastly, please don't start talking about not being able to afford items when you don't know who you're talking about.
I'm sorry you've been frustrated by my withdrawal from purchasing your items however the frustration is entirely your own making.
