So you traded a neon for a honda? I am curious why the honda owner traded his car for a neon with a fubared front?
More details on Honda and tradeeeee

LLs, the only thing funny is the y8 headswap. :lol:. My ATX neon could beat it/has beaten it.


Make sure you check all the gears before you complete this deal in the honda, grinds into 2nd and into 3rd/out of third are real common. Just a heads up yo.

Thanks Steven :thumbup:

I've got a thread w/ moar details. Go find it. Tough to see the Neon go, but it's just a car. It'll be fun.

EDIT:

This isn't a joke sale or anything like Anthony did. It's fa ril.

I don't think he did it to screw you over. He said he's sending you your coils back. Adam is the epitome of impulsive.

still not the point now im out 100 and i get the coils back that i dont want and i was out my car for a week. he has my cell number is all to easy to let me know whats goin on mega lame and a total let down

Tow hook is off. Dylan and I got shit straight. He's getting his coils back and compensation for time down and shipping. Don't worry guys. Originally he's get the K-sports and the new owner would have S3s on the car, but we bumped it up a few days and it all got thrown off. Dylan and I talked, we got shit where it needs to be.

Car is in the driveway as we speak. Not immaculate, but that rust rot is the only haggard part. Wheels are fugly, yes, but they'll do until I feel as though I should change. I've got steelies for it anyway. I got lost coming home and STILL made it early using less gas than w/ the Peon.

He's putting an SRT front on it.

You're cool as shit Dylan :thumbup: Glad people can learn to listen and understand situations, scenarios, etc...

Rust fixin' is the first mod. Typically, an EG would be what I'd LOVE, but this car is super legit for what it is and what trade it was. 129K LEGIT miles. DX I believe, but I'm not sure. It's missing that badge rofl. Sloppy five-speed FTW!


EDIT:

Before anyone asks, yes, "buyer's remorse." I was giggly when I got there and did stuff. 10 minutes in, I was crampin' up, nervous, spazzin'. Call my ma and shit. It faded. It's a whole new car and world now. I'm glad I did it and could help someone else out in the process. Good trade. There will be times I'll miss the Neon, but then I'll remember I'm still in the car game and doing what I want.

I don't understand why Dylan get's compensation for the trouble, but I got screwed over.

After sending my cluster to him, I never got that SRT cluster back like he promised.

I'm all for understanding situations, scenarios, etc but I never got a text or anything saying "Hey, I decided to not do the trade."

Dylan, if you ever do get your coils back and compensation, then you're lucky. If he doesn't cover me for my $10 shipping quote for a gauge cluster, I really don't see how he'd be willing to cover $100 for you.

do you still owe adam for all the tools that were lost and or lost when you went to his house for your trans swap?

i heard stories about your visit there bro so i dont think you have any nerve saying what you said. Adam is a good guy, he let you crash at his place, use his tools, and he even fed you.

that being said, hatch looks good adam and im sure you will be happy with it. Maybe one day you will come back to the neon game lol
