Didn't think of that. Makes sense. When they figure out how to look up accurate prices, we're going to be screwed.

Also love the random splice in the heater hose, fan held on with through-the-rad-fin zipties, and wires wrapped around the surge tank(?) hose to take up slack. I mean I've done all three of those things in the past, but seventy-five thousand loving dollars. But something like that done well (or that one specifically, minus a zero and some) would be rad as hell.

Its the wiring that gets me, maybe its my OCD need to have everything look nice and neat but there should not be a tangled mess of wires everywhere on any sort of engine much less some "project" you're selling for $75k. If it looked messy when you bought it and you're restoring it then make a proper wiring harness. It honestly takes all of a few hours to do and the end result doesn't look like rear end.

SperginMcBadposter posted:What kind of scam is that supposed to be anyways? Are they looking for people carrying cash alone to go look at cars? If you are ever suspicious about whether or not something is a scam, one of the best questions to ask yourself is if they are playing on your greed. Your greed is telling you to continue on through some obstacles and try to get the prize. Just a few: ... send me a deposit via wire transfer (non traceable) ... send me a check (so I can cash it and disappear) ... Buy some prepaid credit cards and send me the numbers More advanced: ... I need your bank info (for obvious reasons) ... We are a dealer and need to verify your credit, give me your info (to open accounts in your name) Wizard level: ... send me a check.. so I can get your routing number / account number and enter it into a check making program I bought at Walmart and make a whole book of checks on your account, and I will change the routing number by one or two digits so they bounce around for a long time before a police report is generated. ... the buyer for your car sends you a deposit via cashiers check and he "accidentally" made it out for too much. He will ask you to pay back the difference. You send the money (and maybe even the car?). (The check is fake and it will take a week or two to bounce, meanwhile your bank is showing the money in your account, but it's not) You loose the car, and the cash you sent that was "extra". - Cashiers checks have no guarantees or protection. - When you cash a check from another bank at your bank the money from that check that is shown in your account is a temporary loan until the check actually clears. If it bounces then the bank will take the money back out of your account. The only way around this is to cash the suspect check at the bank at which it is written for cash. The money will be taken out immediately and if there are not funds to cover it then it will be denied. I will gladly take your personal check as payment, but we will do it at your bank and just go ahead and make it out to cash. Citycop fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Feb 26, 2015 |

If it is a single cab that's a good start to re-enacting the final scene to back to the future at my house... I loved that truck when I saw the movie.

Do that generation of towncars have 5 digit odometers or 6 digit? I'm kind of suspicious of a 91 having 77k miles.

Powershift posted:i'm fairly sure it's 6. Lots of lincolns live in old people's garages until they die. Okay. I'm just always skeptical of anything that looks like a little old lady situation on craigslist. Even if it is an old-person brand. Which is weird, because I've never even bought a car off craigslist, so I have no personal experiences to go off of. Just this forum's combined cynicism.
