I just went and picked up my new talon last night, Red in color TSI AWD. To my surprise I found that the guy I made the deal with took alot more than what he told me he wanted. I had wanted to use it stricktly as a drag car and keep my blue one as a DD.
He told me he wanted all the interior and some fuse blocks under the hood. Well... He got that and then some. I can't even try to start it no keys, ecu, radiator, cut the wires on the main fuse block under the hood and took it. I didn't mind him taking the interior, because that was just one thing I didn't have to remove to get it ready for my project.
I'm just going to make this LONG story short. I didn't get what I thought I was going to get. I feel I got screwed on my finders fees. When a man tells you he wants this this and this. That is what you would expect for him to take no more no less. This has just been eating me since I got home with it and found all this.
He also got the four best wheels, Which would have been no problem if they were all the aluminum. He took my winter wheels and left me with three stock aluminum and a steely. No fourth aluminum anywhere to be found. So now in the winter I have to run my aftermarkets. I also gave him a rebuilt JDM throttle body.
Now if I had known he was going to come and strip it for what it's worth, I would not have offered what he got from me.

So now what do I do with it? Do I scrap it out and sell what I can sell? Or do I try to put it back together? I do know that I am going to sell the sun roof out of it. I am just in AHH at what I found, As I love these cars.
If any of you want to see pics before he got ahold of it let me know by PMing me your email address. Let me know what you think guys.

So, what exactly did you pay for, Budman. The way I understand it, it didn't cost you a dime. I've been in contact with this guy, and I gotta side with him. He drove from Nebraska to Illinois, paid a couple hundred bucks for the car, and stripped everything needed to get his stolen car back on the road. Then he gave you the rest in exchange for four rims, two of which were bent on the bead lip (probably from a curb-check) and one that the paint is so bad it should go to the scrap heap. That's the way it happened, isn't it? Tell the truth.

What did you get out of the deal? Seems to me like quite a bit for nothing. Sell the intake, sell the cylinder head, sell the transmission, sell the engine block, sell the turbo... want me to go on?! You got a hell of a lot more for those four crappy rims that you would've had you tried to sell them on the open market.

You didn't get screwed, so stop whining. Oh, and as for this "Caveat Emptor" stuff, it doesn't apply in your case anyway, because you didn't drop dollar one. You got stuff for free. How can you cry about that?!

OK, This is the last you will here about this subject from me. I was taught that a mans word is his bond. And yes we had a verbal agreement, He told me what he wanted out of the car. I told him that was fine. It's not like I didn't try to offer to pay for half of it. He wouldn't here of it.
And I wasn't trying to bring him down, I was upset. And no I didn't get hurt either way. I was just trying to see if it was worth making a drag car, or part it out. Not bitch and moan like it came out. If you read back a couple of post I told them I wanted to stop talking about it. And to please answer my original post which was "Need some advise". All I did was try to explain my situation.
If you signed on this board just to pooo on me then that's wrong also. I am done with this and am VERY SORRY if I have caused any inconvience to any of the board members, "I apoligize"
