The sad part is I had around $7000 for a budget and when you add all the exchange rate and the shipping it's all gone. But I'm so determined to get this car going nothing will stop me :)

I know this doesn't help the current situation, but why didn't you buy brand new stuff?

Strange S60 $2286

SSBC rear brake kit $573
http://ssbrakes.com/i-10092674-disc-brake-kit-rear-1-single-piston-10-5-inch-rotors-a155.html

Chassis Engineering 4 link kit $1110
http://chassisengineering.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=18_202


Total $3969

You agreed to $4250...was there more parts not mentioned? I just don't get it.
 
Different brake kit and different 4 link then the one you posted and this stuff is all supposed to be brand new the brakes he sent are and so are the few pieces of the 4 link I got
 
Another option would be to make a post asking a member local to the purchase to be made go take a look at the stuff for you and give their opinion. I did that with the valiant in my Avatar and even paid the member to do some repairs for me there. We have a great group of members all across the globe and many will help a brother out.

All that stuff is similarly priced...my point is you paid basically new price, why didn't you just buy from Strange, SSBC, etc?
 
I probably could have got it from them at close to the same price but it seemed like a good deal and every place I called up here was closer to $5000 for a complete different from Moser or strange. After I added the exchange rate and shipping it started to be more then just buying here but I'm a man of my word and if I say something is sold it is sold and I will honor the agreement

Best reply yet. If im forking out anything over $500 I want a pic of the sellers drivers license and of the current local newspaper emailed to me. Something that proves he at least has the parts AND his id. I dont have and never will have the kind of coin that I can send $4000 and hope for the best.
Sorry, I hope the jackwagon gets his dose of Karma.
 
wildandcrazy in CA was the one who hooked me up in looking at my valiant and did the mechanic work. He's good peeps.
 
If this if that!! IF MY AUNT HAD BALLS SHE WOULD BE MY UNCLE!!! THE POINT IS THE
DAMAGE IS DONE!!! HE TRUSTED HIM "JUST LIKE ANY ONE OF US WOULD!!!" Now it's get
EVEN TIME!!!5-1 RULE!! SCREW HIM 5X MORE!! SCUM LIKE THIS MAKES IT BAD FOR EACH and EVERYONE OF US!!!
 
i learned the hard way here on a bodies, if they dont have paypal or you can pick them up face to face, if you dont know them, no money orders or money o grams,,, i got scammed 2 times here on a bodies, what you need to know ,scammers can sell a bucket of sand to an arab, they are smooth talkers, make you think they are your best friend, then screw you out of money, then the police when you file a complaint, they say ,he lives in city, have to talk to city police, talk to them, they say well we have 4 addresses for him, which one does he live , you say ,i dont know, then they say ,well until you can tell us where he lives, we cant do nothing, they want you to be dick tracy, then filed with cyber police on scams against seniors, they said oh yeah ,we will track him down and convict him and he will have to give money back, well its been 2 years now, city, county, state, nor federal cyer patrol has ever arrested him and he called me to say he and his friends partied good on my money!
 
If its an online deal and I can't pay using Paypal , I walk. And I always pay the fee, never send it as a gift.
 
I gift both ways and we have never had an issue. I guess that's how it goes when you deal with straight up people.
 
I learned my lesson buying a boat online. Don't feel bad man. This guy literally photoshopped the boat up when PS first became popular back in the early 2000's. It wasn't worth suing him. I sold it honestly and recovered my money. I broke my personal golden rule. Don't buy sight unseen. Never did it again ! Be sweet if your axle showed up.
