Swap time? Thinking of going to the 4.6is engine? Found 1 I can't buy.
 

If anyone is looking for a good 4.6is engine at an outstanding price, let me know.
Under 100k miles with a rebuilt tranny but had an internal fire.

I'm not the owner but I know him. Interior fire that didn't touch the under 100k engine or recently rebuilt tranny.
Not insured for fire so he just wants it gone for next to nothing.

Were one of his wheels actually bent? I nearly swooped those until he told me that.

Not sure but he had 2 sets. For that price, it could have no wheels and if I had the $ I'd still buy it.

I didn't want the half melted x. He was selling the style 177s separate which is what I was trying to purchase until he told me one was bent and then "recounted".

Well, that sucks. Buy the 3 good ones and find a 4th later?

I just want the engine but the timing is horrible for me. The price is so good...

He wants $2k, that's it!

That is a good price.

Amazing price. I think I've found it a home.

Well, he re-listed it. Another guy and I were trying to make a deal happen this last weekend but I think the seller was off his meds for most of the encounter.

We got him to accept $2k but then his wife flipped out which got him to flip out... Good luck.

Wow. He sure misrepresented those wheels to me. He said all they needed was a good wash and were untouched by the fire. I'd be HIGHLY suspect of anything he tries to sell.

Guy seems like a real gem. I love reading CL posts where the seller insults potential buyers. He should be happy to get almost anything for that hulk of burnt out vehicle. Low ball or not.

If he wanted to get some real money out of it, he needs to put real work into it. Pull the drive train for the potential buyer. Then he could most likely get $4k for it fairly easily given the low mileage and recent trans rebuild.

Exactly.

Our plan was to spend 4-6 months building the best 4.6 you could and selling it or dropping it in a z4 roadster or e30. It's probably a good deal @ $2k still but I don't like dealing with crazy. It's why no matter how much fun redheads were to date I never married one. I never met the not crazy one. (if your significant other is ginger, you either fully agree or partially, let's be honest, disagree)

I mentioned during his crazy rant to us about low-balling and blah, blah, that he had told me it was just a "little fire"... F-n people man.

I know its easy to criticize the attitude, and this guy does sound like a putz, but if you guys don't deal on craigslist a lot then you have no idea how many stupid people call and ask stupid questions because they didn't read any of the listing.

I'm sure he's had people call up expecting to buy a complete running car for $2k. It happens to me all the time. I sell a lot on CL and you wouldn't believe the idiots who waste my time. :rolleyes:

I married a red head. Then again, I drive an E53 so maybe crazy is in the blood. :D

I have a vehicle for sale on there now. Don't ever leave your phone number if you aren't ready for those kind of calls. I use CL's automated relay email service and weed out the losers. Only give my number to people who have managed to respond intelligibly and appropriately to at least 2 emails. :thumbup:

LoL

True. But a majority of his original ad was copy and pasted from a car and driver review. He is that Craigslist person.

In his last ad, he basically said Alpina made the X5 drivetrain and then the "M" division took car of the rest... In Spartanburg!?
