the fact of the matter is, the goal wasn't for anyone to get anything for free. what you're working at is to get your swap for free which is admirable except for the fact that you didn't find the car. That's the part that upsets me. The goal of the car, and why it was posted was so we could get a car and save EVERYONE money, not get anyone parts for free. Had that been the case, Zurno and I could have worked the prices so neither of us had to pay a dime.
Yes what you're doing is fine, you paid for the majority of the car. In my opinion though, ethically you're screwing the club over to a degree. See it however you want, Zurno and I had plenty of conversations about the car before hand and how we were going to try to reduce the cost for everyone without the intent of making profit. By selling more, we'd reduce what everyone is paying, not just for specific people. That was the reason we were waiting to have money from everyone and not just buy it outright. We didn't know what people would be paying.
i feel ya sir, i went and looked up prices on new parts that i could find and tried to take a couple hundo off the real spendy parts and the not soo good parts. some i couldnt find prices so i looked at them and made a guess at what i would find a good price, but im always open for a little low ballin. but i figuer( yes i know what kinda deal igot on the drive train) i spent about the full price of the whole car in fixing the trailer filling my tank on the truck( 20 gallon) smokes and soda for me and my copilot , the 50 i slid the owner of the trailer and the 800 i spent on the car... now zurno got the cruise and a but load of trinkity nick-nac crap witch his 200 covers completely cus i think the wheel , buttons, cruise mod would come to well over 200, the brakes band new minus the rotors ( wich are like 110 or more apeice ) are like 600 700 bucks soo your 200 covers that. my motor and trans alone are like around 5,6 grand so my 800 covers that....... now im not trying to do the swap for free, i had to barrow 400 dollars and i need to make at least that back, i made a deal with my self that i cant buy any thing till that 400 dollars is paid, i need to get a maf, and a axle. so please understand that im not trying to make my full 800 , just some part of the whole expense...im not trying railroad the club, like i said before i love my car club peeps

but im not gonna let a perfectly good part(exmpl,the rear bumper) go for 10 bucks, or a sun roof thats un tuched fo 50 smackers, if its junk and not worth any thing like a door handle or a coolant cover it would most likely if the person made the effert to come get the stuff( im a softy) get handed to them and i tell them keep there money, but i have only recived a few pms for parts . i guess there is only one way to fully know what the price is and that is meet up wit me , have a few jack teas wit me and chew the shit, cus if i like ya its hard for me to cheat ya........thats a joke
