This is breaking my heart. My '98 GT was undriveable but rebuildable after I wrecked it. This car is drivable and the damage (unless I missed something) appears to be all cosmetic issues. Bummer. You do what you gotta do I suppose.

Yes the car was driven home. If someone wants to buy the whole thing, I've got the clean title in hand.

You're right, your offer of $1k sight unseen of my car that I drove home after it got wrecked by my wife was very generous of you. It only has a freshly rebuilt 4.6 4V, fresh 4R70W transmission, 2800 stall FTI converter, SW long tube headers, 4:10 gears, Addco sway bars, Marty O tune, etc. etc. I should have jumped all over your generous offer. If I do decide to change my mind again on what to do with my car, then you'll be the first to know. Thanks for playing.

Here's the entire conversation for everyone to see. I wasnt far off your $3000 price. Plus you were keeping the headers and converter. Why don't you just go away for a while.
"Where in Georgia are you? I am in N. Florida. Maybe you wont have to ship as much.
Jason"
"I'm in middle GA 31046 Michael 478-957-7777"
"You are not too far from me. What do you want for the whole car?"
"Will you take $1000 and I'll get this weekend?"
"I'm open to offers man. I will be getting my headers and FTI converter out of it before though.
"How much have you sold off of it? Looks like you have a lot of offers on parts.
"Nothing has been sold yet."
$1000 for the whole car!?!?!"
"Yes. You said you were open to offers? What are you thinking?"
"Maybe I should have put reasonable offer. I wouldn't take less thank $3k for it as is with nothing sold off of it."

In regard to your "wasting half the board members time" comment. This board has wasted way more of my time than I have of theirs. Some of them (like you) were just tire kickers, or wanted something in perfect condition from a 190k mile car for nothing (again like you). I took the time to take pictures and email/text to them to members to never even hear a word back from them. One guy was supposed to come by yesterday to look at it, everyone wants a quote to ship xyz item across the country. Plus trying to deal with all of the PM's a day and trying to keep everyone in order of "who was first to post." I'm sorry if I wasted anyone's time on this board, and I'm even more sorry about wasting your time in refusing your ******** lowball offer.

So you were “open to offers” which in itself is against the posting rules here then you get upset when someone offers you a price?
Besides, upkeep and mods do not add value in the used car market. A wrecked 190,000 mile car, with I would assume a tainted title now.. You could have bargained an agreeable price instead of throwing a hissy fit. Or followed the rules and simply added a price. He can’t read your mind so of course he started low!
He can’t buy it and sell it for you too..
No insurance settlement to add on to help the sale?

If the latter then you should have bartered out a price, if not then this is laughable.

Someone made the comment about what ashamed it was to part out a Marauder that could be fixed. I posted that I would be willing to sell it complete. No I didn't not put a price (I didn't know that was a requirement.) It was not reported to INS if you read any of my posts in either thread, so therefore it still has a clean title. I did not throw a "hissy" fit and I apologize that I didn't read the rules before posting. No insurance reported/ no settlement. Thank you for adding your part to this argument that you were not apart of.

If you read the above, which it's obvious no one around here does, then you would have seen in the private conversation that he and I had about me selling him the car as is for no less than $3k. Either way, I would have made the car drivable for him. I still have all of my stock stuff off of the car from before. Again thank you for butting into this.

I know I'm way past breaking my rule of never argue with an idiot as people won't know the difference, but I must know at what point was I being childish ? A 45 y/o grown ass man name calling on the internet isn't childish?
I'm going to make a list and you and your buddy can tell me which number or numbers made you start calling me names.
1. Because I own a marauder?
2. Because my wife crashed my marauder?
3. Because I found and bought another marauder?
4. Because in a brief moment of insanity I thought it'd be a good idea to post my wrecked marauder (with a clean title) on these forums to try and recover some of my money towards the new one I purchased?
5. Because I refused your buddies low ball offer? He never came back with a counter offer to me as you told me I should have done.
6. Because I changed my mind one time about deciding not to sell or part out my wrecked marauder (with a clean title)?
7. Because I responded to your buddies comments when he started calling me names because I changed my mind?
But I'm the "Douchebag) :confused::confused:

He isn’t my buddy. Never met him and don’t know him any better than you. I never name called either.
As for acting childish, 99% of that remark was guided at our resident site troll TM and I apologize. But the way you were obviously flustered with all the vultures and backed out on selling anything after he low balled you? I get it, your overwhelmed and the average person wants everything for nothing. Been there! But countering offers or simply moving on to the next guy would get you closer to your goal then just backing out. I hope that you can recover something from your ordeal.

He wasn't the reason I backed out on selling it. I didn't back out on anyone either. I got pictures for everyone that asked. No one could follow simple instructions of sending me a text to ask for pics or sending me there number. Most of the people would ask for pics and so on and I never would hear back from them. He lowballed and I responded with my lowest price, he's the one that never responded to me until I made my post about not selling it anymore. I guarantee you that if he were in my position he'd be pretty upset if someone offered him that for his item. Again at this point I'm just happy my wife is ok and I have another Marauder. I now have a parts car or can slowly fix it if I desire.

Why because I made a low offer, sight unseen on your wrecked car. You wasted half the boards time. You gonna change your mind again?
This was the first mention of your lowball offer in the public thread. If you look below you'll see where your buddy bob says that I'm the one throwing a "hissy" fit. Really? I never even brought it up and had let it go.
Ru
Here's the entire conversation for everyone to see. I wasnt far off your $3000 price. Because 1/3 is very close. Plus you were keeping the headers and converter. According to your buddy, those things don't add any value anyway. Why don't you just go away for a while. If this is what members are like here I will. BTW I've been a member here longer than you FWIW.
"Where in Georgia are you? I am in N. Florida. Maybe you wont have to ship as much.
Jason"
"I'm in middle GA 31046 Michael 478-957-7777"
"You are not too far from me. What do you want for the whole car?"
"I'm open to offers man. I will be getting my headers and FTI converter out of it before though.
"How much have you sold off of it? Looks like you have a lot of offers on parts.
"Nothing has been sold yet."
"Will you take $1000 and I'll get this weekend?"
$1000 for the whole car!?!?!"
"Yes. You said you were open to offers? What are you thinking?"
"Maybe I should have put reasonable offer. I wouldn't take less than $3k for it as is with nothing sold off of it."
Here we see that Jtrip doesn't know how to use the quote function and thinks that being 1/3 of a price is "pretty close" to my retort again all in PM's. Aren't you a land surveyor? I sure wouldn't want you to measure off a piece of property for me. But then again, I'm sure you're just the rod man, and certainly not the one that operates the instrument (that would require talent). Do you know how I know this? It takes zero skill or ability to cut brush out of the way and hold a rod for the other guy to shoot a line to close the boundary.
So you were “open to offers” which in itself is against the posting rules here then you get upset when someone offers you a price? This was all in PM's had you been paying attention.
Besides, upkeep and mods do not add value in the used car market. Really? So let's just say you're buying an 03 Cobra that has a Whipple. It's worth less than one with a factory Eaton? Got it. A wrecked 190,000 mile car, with I would assume a tainted title now. Again your failure of reading what was posted multiple times. You could have bargained an agreeable price instead of throwing a hissy fit. I gave him my number and he never responded in private. Or followed the rules and simply added a price. See above. He can’t read your mind so of course he started low!
He can’t buy it and sell it for you too.. I never asked him or anyone to.
No insurance settlement to add on to help the sale? Do you read anything or just post ********?

Here we see where you enter into others business and start making ASSumptions (Clearly you are the three letters there). See above about the "hissy fit" part. I'm putting this all together because it is very obvious that you're too lazy/illiterate to go back and read what actually happened (again which is none of your business). You don't know the whole story and I've tried to help you out several times spelling things out for you. I think you may have tried to buy something? Did I send you pics and try to accommodate you the best I could?
Plus having the tranny and driveshaft in the trunk and exhaust hanging? Again posting unrelated stuff about something you weren't involved in.
Or were your intentions to convert back to stock and drivable? See above
If the latter then you should have bartered out a price, if not then this is laughable.Oh it is pretty funny. I respond with a number and he cries.

Again none of your business, as you don't know what was discussed, and wouldn't read it if it was spelled out right in front of you. There's three sides to every story. My side, his side and the truth. I'm not lying and none of this would have never even been brought up if Jtrip never made it public. I ignored his lowball offer and moved on.
You really are a douchebag aren't you?
Name calling because you didn't get your way? And your buddy says I'm childish. How old are you again?
I'm pretty sure you would win biggest douchebag contest.
I just called you out. Just go away loser.
Called me out on what? Refusing your "offer" and responding with another number of which you never responded? Then you want to jump in my thread and name call because you didn't get your way?
It’s a public forum my special one. Therefor it is my business all I choose it to be. When you do decide to make things your business, why don't you make sure you're up to speed on what's be argued that doesn't pertain to you.
Both you and the OP win my vote of most childish behavior of the year. [emoji1303]This site has certainly hit rock bottom..
Contributed much besides your smart mouth lately? Didn’t think so.

Again, explain to me where I've been childish and how does this conversation pertain to you?
I guarantee that I know way more about cars than you. Ever built a mid 5 sec car by yourself from the ground up? Ever built a 1000 whp turbo street car that's driven to the track? I mostly read threads and don't contribute much because most times people like you don't have the reading comprehension to understand my posts. I know that comment wasn't aimed at me, but it was free.
He isn’t my buddy. Never met him and don’t know him any better than you. I never name called either.

Maybe y'all should be buddies? Some I'm 1% childish in a thread about parting out a car that my wife wrecked, and your buddy comes in here upset that I didn't accept his lowball offer and starts calling me names and says that he "called me out." Again what am I being called out on?? And I think I've responded to most of your comment above already.
And with that I'm out. Just wanted to put everything in one post so bob could figure some things out and there's just no helping Jtrip with his champagne tastes and coca cola budget.

I should have accepted the generous $1k offer and then the thread would have ended and Jtrip would be praising me. Well based on the posts I've read started by him, he would probably (no he would) find something to complain about and say that I somehow ripped him off.

No Bob, you are incorrect. See what I did there? I was alluding to the phrase of when someone assumes something that they make and ass out of you (Bob) and me. I know you probably missed that though.
You are dead to me. See what I did there again?

Hey Zeph:
THANKS FOR SAVING A MARAUDER! Yeah, I was in line to buy a part, but I'll get that somewhere else. They only made 11,000 of these things, so anyone that can live on another day is a win for all of us MM fans. Good luck with the build and keep us posted. This is a Marauder site after all, and the last one standing after Modd -M took a dive.

Mike,. I'm sorry things got so out of hand in here, but if you do still want that sail panel then I will sell it to you. Just let me know.

If you need it, then I DO NOT want it...if you aren't using it, then yes I'm interested. Either way. Charcoal interior parts aren't as common as the lighter colors in the pick apart yards, but there are police cars in this area that have a black/dark interior. A sail panel is a sail panel luckily...CV/GM/MM. I appreciate you offering though. A good Marauder guy!

The 1977 Pontiac Can Am is another favorite of mine. 1700 or so built - super rare. Hope to buy a well maintained, complete car one day. Love the GM 'colonnade' cars.....

I'm not familiar with those, but a Pontiac that I would like is the G8 GT. Only made those two years also.
