As you said doing a "GOOD DEED" I would be more than happy to help out a fellow member and so would many other on here I just would hate for it to go down that path if something went wrong.

I agree with you 100%always agree with the idea of helping someone and I will also do my best to protect my good name (good name??? WTF) and give the best possible overlook of a used car for another person but bottom line will always be..............my opinion only&buyer bewarehope your mates happy with his new car EFyeah but that's why this will be a guide and the final opinion will be on the buyer I guess.they should personally come down and check it out as well.hahaha not an ef mate,its a BF typhoon...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
