Ripped OFF by Forum member
ok so I was looking for a 350 to buy I figured where better then on my350z.com. So the search began I finally found the perfect car. Sent the money and everything. He told me the only thing wrong with the car was it needed new rear gas shocks for the hatch. Well turns out today the transport company called me and told me that the clutch is completly wrote off and they could barely get it on the truck. Now before hand I asked the guy selling the car is the clutch bad because I noticed he was posting about having one replaced. It was from a member on here I am completly ****** off about this. I was quoted today 1850 installed canadian for a exedy cromoly flywheel and stage 1 clutch. Any info on a clutch would be helpful too Thanks

Unfortunately i don't think you can do anything about it. Used vehicles from private sellers are purchased as is. Unless maybe somehow you had documentation from the seller stating that the clutch was in perfect condition. In this country the only time you may get your money back from a used car sale is if you were ripped off by a used car dealer.

they wanted 1600, I am kicking myself for not doing it now tho. and I asked the guy and he said the clutch is fine. Now he bought the car from a dealer 2 months ago so I am wondering may it possible be the slave or master cylinder. because would the dealer not put a new clutch in it if it was messed. and if so how can you ruin a clutch in 1 month

Good luck with your purchase. I'm not a very trusting person. If I can't see it, drive it, I won't buy it. I'm not criticizing you, I just don't trust that many people. Good luck I hope you aren't stuck with a large bill.
