just saw that camaro in mesa on the cl, looks clean as hell. GET IT! http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/ctd/2299177673.html

Hahaha I've been drooling over that one for some time. That's the one I was telling you about yesterday.

So anyways people, I have decided that I'm throwing in the towel. This car is just too much work. I'm just going to part this one out or sell it to the junkyard. Cut my losses before I get too much more into it. I'll just wait, and get one later that's not so... ****ed.
So yeah, there's that.

DONT GIVE UP. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

PM me a price for the car as is. I also know someone (not a member here) who is interested in the top and associated components if you decide to part out the car.

DRIVE2FAST

IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP THE CAR YOU CAN WORK ON IT IN MY DRIVEWAY IF YOU NEED TO. I HAVE A BOAT-LOAD OF TOOLS. IM AT 91 AV AND MCDOWELL. DONT GIVE UP ON IT.

Wow, Mark! PM me before you do anything! I also might know someone who would like to have the whole car....

Scootermunch

me and you are going to be friends i decided

Ticeblue

Dude don't give up on the car I was literally in the same boat, mine just wasn't a vert.....previous owners had seriously f***ed the whole wiring of the car I am talking like made their own fuse box and had switches for just about every electrical thing ever installed on the car....for example a switch to manually turn the tail lights on and off hahahahaha. But after beer, liquor, several tools thrown into the street I got it all rewired and now I am on to the motor of the car......no one says everything has to be done quickly hell leave the interior stripped just put the driver seat in say to yourself I love this car!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck don't give up cuz I am subscribing to this thread

Scootermunch

it'll make it more of your own. my TA engine was left in pretty good shape, and i was able to start on more cosmetic stuff. but without getting under the car or under the hood, i still dont feel like its mine.

but i will support you... if you buy this http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/ctd/2298601446.html

DRIVE2FAST

GOOD CALL. IM JUST AT THE START OF THE QUEST FOR 150MPH. WHAT A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE SO FAR........

Mark_Hardware

OK. Who wants it. Make me an offer. I was going to keep plugging away at it, but then I got a tow ticket today. So whoever wants it, it needs to be moved asap. Few things;
It runs, but it has a vacuum leak. And the seats aren't bolted in, so yeah, that would make an interesting ride...
There's a problem with the title. The genius I bought it from screwed up when he signed the title. He filled out an official statement of correction, but he filled it out in pencil, so the MVD didn't want to take it. Everything is signed, and notarized, but it still might be a little bit of work getting the title transferred.
I don't really care what I get for it, really. I paid 2,300 for it, and I've put some new parts in it. I know I'm not going to get ANYWHERE close to that, and idc.
One thing to consider when making an offer; It has literally brand new brakes. Rotors, calipers, pads, shoes, and I think something else. Brakes fixed, drove one day, been parked ever since. Somebody please take this, I'd hate to see it get towed.

Scootermunch

WHY IS IT GETTING TOWED?!?!

Mark_Hardware

Cause apparently the tow truck driver was really bored, so he actually walked up to the car and noticed it was sans interior.
I slapped the dash back in, so that'll buy me some time.

DRIVE2FAST

TALK TO THE MANAGER OF YOUR APTS AND EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM. IF YOU WANT YOU CAN PARK IT AT MY HOUSE I HAVE LOTS EXTRA ROOM AND COVERED PATIO BIG ENOUGH FOR CAMARO OUT OF THE WEATHER IN A SECURED AREA. I HAVE TONS OF TOOLS ETC... DONT LET THE CITY SCREW YOU LIKE THAT.

Mark, if you pay for gas, I will trailer it to Riks house for you...

DRIVE2FAST

IM AT 91 AVE AND MCDOWELL BY CARDINAL STADIUM.

Mark_Hardware

Man, I appreciate the offer, really I do, thats awesome. The thing is, I don't have any money to put into it, and I would feel, awkward. It would sit there for a long *** time, you'd get sick of seeing it, end up resenting me... Next thing you know there's thumbtacks in my seat and super glue on my screwdrivers...
Lol anyways I need money, not another moneypit right now. Don't get me wrong guys, this isn't some snap decision, I really do love this car, but honestly, this really is too much for me to handle at this moment in my life. This was kind of a final straw. One day when I have a house, instead of a shithole apartment, with a garage and some liquid equity.

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING LET ME KNOW. I HAVE ENOUGH ROOM AT MY HOUSE FOR 4 -6 CARS. RITE NOW THERE IS 3. ITS ALL ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. NO ONE CAN TELL YOU WHAT TO DO AT MY PLACE. NO WOMEN OR UNREASONABLE PROPERTIY MANAGEMENT COMPANY OR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION HERE. REAL FREEDOM.

FIRE AWAY.

Mark_Hardware

Well cars gone. Watched it get dragged away.
Guess I don't need this site anymore.

Scootermunch

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

what was their reason for taking it?!

You mean you sold it, right?

DRIVE2FAST

APARTMENT MANAGMENT COMPANIES ARE EVIL.

Mark_Hardware

Anyways I didn't mean that as harshly as it sounded, I only meant since I don't own a thirdgen.
Anyways.. It sucks, but it's really not all *that* bad...
For one, the car still wasn't transferred to my name. This means a few things. 1, the towing company won't be coming after me to collect any fees. And if, *IF* they actually find the registered owner (I haven't been able to get ahold of him in a long time) I guarantee he's not going to pay. And he doesn't know who I am, so he can't send the company to me. Even the apartment office doesn't know it's my car, so they won't be any help either.
2, and this is even better. The PO hasn't paid child support in at lest 6 months. The state is attaching a lien to the car. And it's going to be way more than the car is worth. So really, the tow truck company can't do anything with it.
Basically, everyone who ever comes into contact with this car gets totally boned, and the cycle continues.
Quite frankly the thing needed work that was beyond my means right now, and Wed. it refused to start. I will wait, and I will own another one, one day.
A nicer one lol.

DRIVE2FAST

AT LEAST THEY CANT COME AFTER YOU FOR MORE MONEY OR SUSPEND YOUR LICENSE. THATS WHAT THEY DO IN SEATTLE. THE GOVERNMENT IS AN EVIL $#@$!$@# TO DEAL WITH .

Scootermunch

yeah man, and at least phx isnt lacking people selling 3rd gens. i made a few offers on a few camaros before i got my TA for around a grand, and they all took them. its not like youll be stuck getting a crappy ones. a few of the ones i looked at were in fairly good shape, and drknow can vouch that after 2 months of having mine, i got me a good shape one. you have time to find a pretty good one out here for sure. and if you need my help, i am literally jewish and can talk them down hardcore.

I have a hard time with this...

I keep my car(s) for years and years, swearing I'll finish them.

You buy a car, fix some stuff and then offload it in 3 months?

What planet am I on?

Mark_Hardware

Earth, welcome.
I didn't offload it, it was offloaded from me. Or something.
It was kind of like finally buying a dog you always wanted then finding out it has rabies. Sure, you ant it, and you'll miss it when it's gone, but deep down you know it was only a matter of time before it bit you right in the @ss.
The only real money I'm out is the money for the purchase, the new brakes, $10 for the AC/heater control, and $25 for the heater core. I learned a hell of a lot, and it was an expensive lesson but an expensive lesson is the one best learned.

The home owners association most evil thing i got my self into. Condos suck when you live next to an evil old lady and can only do minor repars in your own parking spot.
