Untrustworthy Guy

Heres the story. I sold my silver 93 lhd rx7. Guy bought it to basically do a ls swap to it. We agreed to a price without some of the mods done to the car because he would have no use for them. I allowed him to borrow some of the parts to get the car home and such. Parts included full intercooler setup, intake setup, apexi power fc, and ast.

Here's the case now, guy was very good buyer no problems there but since then it has turned. Have arranged numerous times to go to his house and grab parts but he is a no show and I have wasted money in gas and time. I dont think he lives there anymore. I have called many times with no answer but from other numbers he answers sometimes.

I have been dealing with this guy since he bought it back in november.
His name is Andy and his number is 647 801 3221 apparently also has a twin turbo cobra as well

If you see the vehicle let me know of his where abouts so I can get my parts back.
Its a silver rx7 with green prodrive rims (mayb changed to stock rims), bumper signals are orange, protege 5 steering wheel, sunroof, leather seats. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are current pics of way I sold it

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your probably not seeing your stuff again if it was intentional. Once the car leaves your hands with ownership, you have no right to anything on it anymore. So you either got tricked into selling it at a lower price or by some miracle the guy was honest but I doubt it.

ya thewird is right :S , not in a good spot on this one . did you by chance make a bill of sale stating that these parts you selected to keep were yours and not his and that once he received the car you would have the parts back in your hands?

will def keep an eye out for it and good luck with getting a hold of him

Possible to find his current address using your old vin? (asuming he plated it)
Id get him in small claims court if you can. Keep those message, put them on a usb flash drive, anything, that seems to be your only proof.

Yah just looked that up. Seems that I will be able to see where car is currently registered if he transfered it over. I have to go to dmv give them vin and they will be able to tell me. Thanks for the helpful info.

Text messages will hold-up in small claims court, if you can find the guy and sue his *** (up to $5000) or at least make his life miserable by serving a summons to appear. There are so many scumbags around these days, just can't trust anyone no more!
Good Luck
