Some news: the previous owner says he will consider covering some of the costs of the IMS replacement. He will let me know very soon, hopefully.

The car is still in the shop and they will most likely start sometime this week. I just need to sort of how to finance the job.

And yes, I managed to resist the urge to end it all by running off and jumping into certain death on friday... Here is the always flattering before-image..

Some more news: SS Performance [ About us | SS Performance ] will proceed with the IMS upgrade today.

THEY WILL PROVIDE PICTURES THAT WILL DOCUMENT THE WHOLE JOB. Looking forward to seeing the state of the bearing. I mean, how many times haven't we seen new members of the exlusive IMS-club being unwillingly recuited, and how many pictures have we seen compared? I can count on zero hands, that's how many..

SO, hopefully this will be helpfull to others also.. Looking forward to picking up my beloved Box in just two days

Let's hope this is the first and last time I see my Box like this... *knocks on wood*

This is highly unusual behavior for a previous owner. If he gives you something towards the ims replacement it is a bonus. Usually a sale is as is and buyer beware. I am happy for you that you are making the best of a bad situation...

Highly unusual for where? All over the world? I heard many similar stories and also PC Oslo recommended me to ask the PO about this.. also, there is a "private sales law", but taking this to court (which would be madness considering the $$$ we are talking about) it almost always ends up being a 50/50 split of the bill.

Anyways.. thank you

I appreciate all the support! It´s a shame that Madmods "rage quit" the forums and deleted all of his posts.. I like having a class clown around

Used cars are generally sold "as is" , the seller has no reasonable obligation to compensate the new owner. I can't see the buyer winning any payment in court in the US . On second thought, some idiot did get paid well for spilling hot coffee on themselves...........

Sold as is does not protect you from the law.

Just show your tits to the lawyers? you would be surprised to see what money can buy these days

Hey thanks! Really appreciate the kind words

I guess I´m just an open and relaxed kind of person and yes I do realize laying down the cards I was dealt like this can possibly cause some strong opinions in return. As long as they are well argued, I think I can only learn from it

Looking forward to updating this thread with documentation from the IMS replacement + pictures to go with it. Very much looking forward to seeing the state of the bearing!!
