Anthony is joining forums that I have been a member of just to harrass me.

Here's my story:

This has been my worse experience in the automotive industry thus far. I have had numerous business transactions in ebay (100% feedback), paypal (verified) and a couple here in supramania (iTrader 100%) etc., and they all have been very pleasant with. Anthony (suprastupid, eyedea) posted in Craiglist Austin his former Levin, as mentioned above, and I have been looking in owning a “hachi-roku” for years. Since Anthony was open to trades, I offered my former 1991 Supra Turbo. We exchanged information regarding each other’s vehicles.
As posted here: http://www.houston240sx.com/showthread.php?t=42287" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, I had made it clear to Anthony that all the information regarding the engine was from what the previous owner, Phil, had provided me. I informed Anthony numerous times, that I have not personally worked on the engine, and the only thing that I have done to the Supra was change the interior from red to carbon look, real carbon fiber and black to make it look cleaner.
This Supra was my daily driver from late December 2009 until 04/03/10 when we made the trade. I changed the oil, fram filter and coolant in February. She was a great daily driver that had never given me problems, and I had put 1,xxx miles on her. This is were I get the 2,xxx miles since the previous owner Phil told me that it had 1,000 miles to the engine when I got her

When we got to Killeen, I started up the Supra right up with no smoke, coolant was full (radiator indicator was not on), engine oil to spec. I TURNED ON THE FAN, and ran the car – again no problems. Anthony and I opened up the hood, and he happy as can be.

We were then suppose to pick up the rest of the extra ae86 parts from his other storage, but He claims that he had no key??? Anthony said, “we can pick it up tomorrow,” and I agreed since it was getting late. Anthony and I then drove the Supra to his house to pick the Levin. As I examined the Levin, I was thinking things through, since it had no stickers and needed work to be street legal like the Supra. Anthony was adamant about trading the Levin for the Supra – he knew it was a great car. As my friends and I spoke, Anthony borrowed the keys to the Supra for a “test drive.” We could hear Anthony beating on the Supra as the car went through the gears, we could hear the HKS blow off valve just “swoosh.” When he finally came back, I asked him if he had turned the fan on. When I looked in, the fans were off, and again, I told him that he needs to turn those fans on. Even through this, the temperature gauge was still in the middle, no smoke and no radiator indicator light went on.

I really like ae86’s so I went ahead and signed the paper works with him. As we were loading the ae86 in the dolly, Anthony said that “we’ll pick up the extra parts tomorrow.” This was nearing midnight, and my friends and I were beat from driving. An hour after we had settled in the La Quinta Killeen, TX, Anthony calls me saying the temperature gauge went past HOT. I asked him what he did, and he said that he was on the highway “test driving” the Supra. Again I asked if he had turned the fan on, He said “I turned it on after the temperature gauge went past HOT and drove home.” I was flustered as this has never happened to me. I remembered some of the advice from hereon supramania regarding the hoses and such, so I told Anthony to check hose and the fluids (coolant, oil etc). He said “thanks and we’ll see you in the morning for the extra parts.” Not even 30 min after we hung up, he accused me of having a blown head gasket, and again, I was flustered. I had the car for 3 months and put 1,xxx miles on it without problems, and I knew the Supra was a strong car. Everything was great with the Supra when I handed the car keys to Anthony. I told him that we’ll meet him in the morning to check out what is going on the Supra and to get the extra Levin parts.

Sure enough, when Anthony started up the engine, the Supra was blowing white smoke like never before. This time, Anthony accused me of draining the oil and coolant??? First of all, if the Supra was low on coolant, that radiator indicator would come on in a heart beat. Second, when we offered Anthony to take the car to shop to drain the oil, he backed off since he clearly knew that oil dip stick was showing that it was in the proper level. We asked Anthony again if he had turned on that fan, and this time around he claims he had it on the whole time and that he never driven the car hard. Anthony still insisted it had a blown head gasket; well by this time, it was pretty clear that HE BLEW THE HEAD GASKET. He kept insisting that I should pay for his head gasket, so we gave him the money for the head gasket to be in good terms even though we owed him nothing.
After we gave him the money, and he was ok with it, I asked him if we could pick up the promised extra parts. Anthony gave us a bunch of excuses. I couldn’t believe my ears. After we try to help the guy, he gives us the cold shoulders. My friends were furious that Anthony had broken the deal. We had driven 7 hours, and I have spent over $500 for fuel, trailer, dolly and hotel, and Anthony decided to leave us hanging.

The original deal was the 1991 Supra Turbo for the Levin and extra ae86. Before I met up with Anthony, he found out that I had an extra motor, and offered his extra ae86 parts such as N2 fenders, JDM Levin Fenders, OEM Levin front along with other numerous ae86 parts that he says “I have no use for, so I’ll just give them to you.” We agreed on the extra 7MGTE for the extra ae86 parts.

He broke the deal on the extra parts, has been trying to get money out of me to fix what ANTHONY HAD BLOWN and now trying to discredit me on here and other forums.

Mods, members and guests, you are going to form your own opinions and conclusions, and I behoove you to look at my past and present transactions and vouches. But I am done dealing with Anthony, he is going to be part of this forum and community, so let this be a warning to other people. This business venture with Anthony has proven to be more of a headache that what it’s worth.

Moderators, if you feel like I have wronged anyone, feel free to delete or block my account. I am confident in your decision as 86garage has treated me well in the past.

The above are my reasons for not wanting to deal with Anthony anymore. It doesn't matter if he gives me a million dollars for the said motor - I DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE LIKE HIM.

Thank you for your time,
Allan

any future amendments regarding this transaction should be relegated to direct customer/merchant communiques outside of this forum. the admins (as well as members we're sure) frown upon using our e-community solely for the purpose of transaction resolution.
just as on craigslist, transactions stemming from "adds" placed on this forum do not necessarily garner this community's or it's administrators' endorsement and any individuals involving themselves in any sales exchange stemming from this forum should proceed at their own discretion.
for long standing members involved with the community, we as a community will do our best to promote a constructive resolution but is ultimately again at the discretion of the involved parties.
