Yeah probably found out he didn't have a leg to stand on legally and came to his senses. I would likely also block him or not respond anymore.

I’m not going to respond, and good luck to him but I honestly don’t give a poo poo what happens now. I think he either realized he had no legal ground to stand on, couldn’t afford a lawyer anyway, or was talked down off the ledge by someone more rational in the family. Maybe a combination of all three. Who knows, who cares I guess. It just came out of nowhere when I was at work and I had to stop myself from busting out laughing in the hospital.

I would be buying that Chevy after a thorough rust inspection. Then get a junkyard 5.3 swap along with the wire harness. Those vehicles are so old and well documented, you can upgrade every single component with something later and better from a junkyard. Like power steering and disk brakes

Yep, the driver’s side floor looks like a home made patch panel, more rusty evils probably lurk. It also looks like they left a wide open hole in the trans tunnel converting it from three-on-the-tree to floor shift.

Or his wife found out it failed inspection and now they have to pay $$$$ in order to get it on the road in addition to what they already paid for it, she flipped out on him so he had to blame it on the seller I've seen that before, my dumbass brother in law bought a minivan in NY that had bad rust issues that caused it to fail, he was too ignorant to notice the front strut mounts under the hood were completely hosed. When I saw it I was shocked....Like how the gently caress do you not notice that? any way his wife flipped out on him and it was pretty funny,

Hey guys, got a question. I've been burdened with selling a car for another family member. Is there somewhere in AI where I can get some advice on selling it? I've sold cars for scrap but not normal private sales, and thanks to...things, it has some complexity that I genuinely don't know what to do.

Note all the stuff you know is wrong with it, list it "as is" a bit below expected market price, and foist it off on whomever shows up first with cash. If the complexity involves the vehicle title, you need to straighten that out before you can do anything with it, though.

[Ugh, gentlemen, there's so much family drama, and frankly, mental illness as a background to this.

I've said I want the title transferred to me, and got a not at all encouraging "well people sell cars in other provinces like dealerships and stuff" all the time from my dad. I hope it is getting sorted, as I've not looked up the rules in my province of Newfoundland yet, but am pretty sure selling a car when the title holder is elsewhere is in fact a big ask in the "couple thou unsuspected" market.

This is not a "complexity", it's a deal killer. You don't own the car: you can't sell it. You don't even have the title: you can't sell it. You can't even get a replacement title because you don't own the car.

Suburban Dad posted:Give the story so people know how to help you. Otherwise there's not much point in asking. True. The car in question is a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, 186,000 km. It runs and drives quite well, and is the first year of the DOHC 3.3L V6. Air conditioning works. Has a lot of features. The issue is that it needs a undefined amount of work, not a lot, to make inspection. It should really have its valve cover gasket replaced as well. It lived its life in New Brunswick, so it has less rust than an NL car of similar age. Cosmetically outside it has small flaws. Inside it just needs to be cleaned properly. It has had lots of work done on it with lots of stuff replaced.

Nitrox posted:Not sure how it is in canada, but in some states, an owner can fill out and sign the sale portion of the title and it will be accepted for transfer and registration. All the titles I, personally, have seen (Alaska and now Utah) have a sale portion on the back. Get the seller to sign it and mail the title; it can go anywhere after that.

That lasted 3 weeks, at which time I T-boned a lady making an ill-advised left turn across traffic. I broke the piston in the master cylinder, apparently. While we were replacing the front sheetmetal from that, we threw in a power disc setup for a Chevelle dad had handy. MrYenko posted:This is extremely my flavor of stupid.
