  1. I sold my 1989 MPI Conquest a year ago to infamos for $4500. He paid me through paypal via his credit card before ever seeing the car (I'm in WA, he's in CO). When he finally flew up to get the car, I still had his money in my paypal account. I wanted to make sure he liked the car and still wanted it after seeing it in person. We started by doing a walk-around where I explained to him all the mods I've done, all the bugs that I've had, what I had done to fix them and how the car has been holding up for me. After that we went on a short test drive. We drove approximately a mile and during that short drive, infamos put that car through more abuse than I did all the years I owned it. He was grinding gears, and revving it to the ceiling to keep from killing the engine. He went on to tell me about how he has a fast GTX, a Supra and another Conquest/Starion, however, I wasn't sure if he was telling the truth; he drove my car as if he had never driven anything with any sort of power before. Also, he was very excited about how fast my car was and went on to tell me that he didn't have anything that fast. Anyways... He liked the car and wanted to follow through with purchasing it so we wrote up a bill of sale, loaded up the spare parts and I gave him some directions on getting home. Along the way home he contacted me via text explaining that he was having trouble starting the car. I explained to infamos during the walk-around that I had similar problems in the past and told him how I tried fixing it and that the fix seemed to take care of it since the car had been starting fine for me. He said that the car wouldn't start, but if he got a push start the car would run great all the way up until he shut it off and had to start it again. That was the last I heard from him for a day until he contacted me saying that he pulled into a shop somewhere along the way. According to him, the mechanic at the shop told him the reason the car wouldn't start with the turn of the key was because the engine was "about to seize". That's all I heard until later that day when he said that in Rock Springs Wyoming the engine blew and he would need to get it towed the rest of the way. Next thing I know I get word from paypal saying that the buyer has filed a dispute and a charge-back, requesting a full refund. I was able to dispute the chargeback and give my side of the story, however, paypal doesn't get to decide whether or not the buyer gets a refund, the credit card company does. So come to find out just recently, his credit card company sided with him (now I hear that 9 times out of 10 they give the refund regardless of the situation) and I have a collection agency after me for $4500. I have a real problem with that. And on top of it, when I disputed the charge-back, paypal gave me the option to have the buyer return the vehicle in the case that the credit card company gave him the refund... Well he has his refund.. Where's the car??? I called paypal to ask them how I get the car back and paypal said all they could do is contact the credit card company and ask them to please remind the buyer to please return it to me. Lawyer up. That's all I really have to say about it. -Ryan
  2. It has been a great daily driver for me. I haven't been driving it as much recently since I bought a truck. I will take those pictures tonight for sure along with some of the interior.
  3. Although it still needs to be tuned, it runs really well the way it is right now. It just hasn't been taken to it's full potential. I also have extra headlight motors, doors, hatch, hood, and another front clip with airdam. The power locks and windows work fine. Cruise works also.
  4. It needs more tuning. There is a power steering fluid leak coming from the pump, but I have an extra pump for that. Heat works, AC is out but I have all the stuff for it. Seat belts are there, the passenger side one, however, doesn't always work when the door is open and closed. Wipers are there also but the rear one recently went out. Lights don't have any condensation and there's only some minor surface rust on the edges of the fenders. No accidents
  5. Here are a few more pictures. I will get more interior ones soon.
  6. Definitely. I can post them later tonight.
