i bought a cobb ap off a dude on CL and it turns out its not working...

i know its my fault i should have been more careful but gosh dang. this sucks. there goes 300 bucks...

i tried calling cobb and all they can offer me is 200 dollars i think off if i send it in for a v2 ap. too bad i dont have 500 dollars to spend...

or they said i could send it in and pay 40 bucks for examination. and to repair, it will cost up to 300 dollars. a;klsjd;fakjd;falksjd;lk a

at least im healthy and alive
thank God for that

 

sucks man

 

ugh i knowwww on top of my ucla havoc if youve read on my for sale thread. this week def sucks more than anything

 

how much is in new?

 

700

 

awwwww damn that sucks dude. sorry that happened.

is there any possible way of testing it before u purchase it?

 

YOu can always try it out before purchasing if you buy it in purpose. If the seller refuses to let you try it prior to purchasing, then you probably shouldn't buy it

I'm trying to sell a digital camera and I've been almost scammed 3 times!

 

that sucks

 

You don't have any of this guys contact info?

I got sold a married AP on i-club. He wouldn't answer my phone calls for a good 2 weeks. Luckily I knew some people who knew him. He didn't even meet me up to give me back my money. He had his friend do it because he was "out of town" hahaha

good luck bro!

 

i have his number and email but of course no pick up or response. i know he lives in almaden... but thats about it

 

might not be the guys fault, more than once has some one simply reverted the map back to stock and thought thats all they had to do and not known they had to do the un-marry process. try him first to see if you can meet up with him for a minute to unmarry

 

its fully unmarried. i even had a worker from Cobb try to flash my car with the help of Trey Cobb on the phone and they couldnt figure it out...

 

and its the correct year AP?

 

its actually quite complicated.

here's the full story: The ap was advertised as 04-05 wrx, but the ap is actually for an 02-03. What he did was, he had the ap reprogrammed so he could use it on his 04 wrx. So i receive it and tell him its not working. he says he'll reflash the ap for an 05. so i send him the ap back. at this point he has my money And the accessport. risky of me, but he seemed really reliable and was very helpful. he sent the ap back to me couple days later and since then ive been trying to get the thing to work.
i couldn't quite figure it out on my own so when i went to GST, i asked mike to work on it but he couldnt figure it out. while i was there, i met gary, an employee of cobb and he was trying to figure it out with Mr. Trey Cobb on the phone. but they couldnt get it either so i came home disappointed. So today i called Cobb again and their friendly service people tried helping me through it and told me they had never heard of a situation like this. blahbalhalbalb the serivce guy, sean i think.., told me to plug it into my computer which i did and it shows up as an 05 wrx accessport so the seller did reflash it for me. cobb told me the only choice i had was to turn it back in to them but i dont have that kind of money rite now..

 

Sawks man!..sorry!

Im new to this Cobb also...Im looking for one also, I have a 05 STI. So the one I should be looking for is a Cobb v2 that is unmarried?..but correct me does it have to be from the same year?
