A little Upset....Craigslist buyers beware!
I bought a DME front strut support from a clown on craigslist on 3/28...Got it home that evening to find the Strut bar in no way shape or form will fit an STi. Kinda bummed at this point but **** happens. Contacted the seller that night via text and he ansewered back "whats the problem?" Never heard back form this guy after repeated texts saying I just want to return the thing and get my money back. $45 aint **** to me, but its just the point. Finally he sends me a text yesterday saying "Iv been working 12hr days" thats it...Like i give a ****, we all work hard and i work about 60 hours a week. Explained to him again I would like to meet him and return it. NOTHING! Unfortunatly it had to come to this. Iv never complained about anyone on a public forum ever but this rubbed me the wrong way. The subaru community is pretty small im guessing in the area, so this was a stupid move on his part over $45! I will post his contact info tomorrow if he does not respond tonight to ensure nobody else gets jipped. And to the guys defense, honestly i dont think he knew it was the wrong bar, but do the right thing!! Thanks for letting me vent fellas!
