Michael's Impulse Blue SSZ

Don't stress mate, he is just ####ing with you. Caliper slide pins are at least 10mm thick. For those to snap a lot of damage would've happened to the caliper also. Probably buyers remorse, possibly going to claim for damages and some of his money back. Maybe he tried to change the brake pads and damaged it himself and now wants to pin it back on you. Who knows mate. How did you respond?

I basically said there's no way I could have forseen this coming and that the driver wouldn't have mattered in the test drive. I told him how to fix it basically just getting 2 new pins but that's about it. if he thinks i'm paying for it he has another thing coming since even though this sounds bad he wanted to buy it "as is" . I could have taken the floor mats, dash mat and everything else out but I was being nice and I even dropped it from 16.5 - 15.7 then he complained a bit more and I went to 15.5.

Based on what he told me during out conversations as well I am suspecting he is a bit of a hoon. he said he use to race his skyline in NZ or something and then he mentioned that insurance is going to cost him $1500 even though he is 30 so he must of lost his license somewhere along the line.

I don't think anything happened either. He's probably getting a road worthy done and thought he'd try and squeeze a little more about of you to pay for it.

My insurance is about 1200 for my VY and I'm 23. So your probably on the money with the lose of license.

Ye he reckons that its going to cost $1500 to replace the calipre and disc ALONE. What a coincidence that its the same price as his insurance... I don't even bother answering him anymore. I think cos he thinks I am young I would fall for his tactics of intimidation but the whole experience of owning that ssz has helped me learn pretty much that everyone is a crook lol.

Lol tell him he could upgrade to hsv brakes with change for that much if he shopped around.

Lol @ $1500... I'll fly to WA with my trusty 10mm, 12mm and 14mm and do the job for him...

Can someone lend me a jack as well. Excess luggage and all.

 

[Wogboy1994]

For his sake I hope he doesn't pay $1500 to repair one disc/calliper

Sad to see her go any luck finding a GTS yet?

 

[Wogboy1994]

ye but my new Hyundai elantra is so good on petrol and giving me some extra practice for the manual. Unfortunately the variety of E3 gts' in WA is very slim with black being a big colour and not many new ones coming for sale. Last check (this morning) there are about 12 for sale that fit my category and only one white for $70k....
