My Neon...

Post by Xtian » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:43 pm

that I was going to buy today was suppose to be this one... but without the damage :( The dealer called me today and told me that he sent my check back, because somebody ran into the car in the parking lot of the dealership today :(
I don't know why but this always can happen to me. Is it a very bad luck?! :(

so, as far as he told me he has this 2002 R/T that needs a new trunk, and it will be ready within 3 days, so I think it might be better.

I could use the rear seat lower cushion.

It sucks that you can't get it, but atleast there is another car available soon.

You are awesome!!! If you can, I would obviously pay you for shipping plus a "finders fee."

Well at least your getting an R/T, I would love to have a 5 speed and the magnum engine...

He told me earlier today that he can give me the car, but its not worth it, b/c it needs so many parts. He did little estimation for the repairs - $1500. I have the money but it is not worth it to buy a $4000 salvage car+$1500 repairs.

Too me, when I was looking at older/used cars, my number one thing was the car had to be completely accident free.

Sure body shops can work there magic, but an undamaged car to me seems the wiser way to go...

BTW: Feb 25th is my b-day, I am good luck, so you'll get that car :)

Sorry about that but better it was hit before it was yours if it was going to be hit (trying to put a positive spin on this).

Well, the fender was rusty when I went to look at the car. But the damage wasn't that bad. So, they wanted to move the car to the front and this guy didn't see this big old truck, so he did hit the same fender again, but this time really hard.
And here in Portland area rains 6-7 months a year so cars get really rusty if you don't take care of their paint.
But, anyways I am excited of getting the R/T.
It might be fun to drive it :D

Good luck on getting the R/T. Tell them to put it in a secluded corner of the lot till you get there.

Are you sure one of the dealer employee's was not driving the car and got into an accident?

I mean, look at those pictures, the air bags are deployed, the right front hubcap is damaged and the tire is blown out, etc. I don't know, something is not adding up. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.
