Lmao. Just saw this. Wow, got busy at work for a few days and all this is going on.
Well.... Ya got me. Lol. But not in the way you think.
Your part and the others were indeed shipped by SS. He doesn’t even have a ST anymore ( traded in on a mini van of some kind a while ago. His car ended up in GA somewhere ).
But he does still walk this earth. He went through a lot earlier this year, ended up in jail over his long time GF seeing some other dude ( and more than feelings ended up getting hurt ). Because of jail, lost his employment. And now he works for a friend of ours maintaining a fleet of cars ( like putting headers and nitrous on vipers and changing the fuel out of hemi cudas and stuff ). The guy is a big car nut, but doesn’t have time to work on his own cars due to working so much to pay for the fleet of cars. Anyway, the guy pays SS in cash and let’s him use the shop in Tampa 2 days a week to do small repairs for friends/customers for cash.
That being said... I was having him do some work on my fiesta ST ( who better than someone extremely familiar with them ), and he mentioned he had a few misc parts in a box somewhere. So I said, “If you want me to sell them on the forum for you, I will. No sense in good parts just collecting dust in storage when someone could be using them”.
So he sent me the pics, I sold the parts, and he shipped them. Pretty simple really.
So yea... I guess you busted me selling you a good part, at a reasonable price, with fast shipping, and getting exactly what you wanted, lol. If it makes me a bad person for helping a friend get rid of spare parts at a reasonable price, then I guess I’m guilty.
And before anyone brings up his dealings with DHM. I say very little besides there are two sides of every story, and it’s not my place to argue either side. And that I also have a friend with a Focus ST that paid around $6700 total to DHM for a 2.3L motor, clutch and misc parts and that friend STILL waiting around on those parts to materialize ( personally, I think it’s just super sad he still believes he’s going to get ANYTHING from that deal, when really, he just wants the parts, never mind the money he sent 2.5 years ago... ).
Maybe you guys can catch SS on the caravan/pacifica forum lol.
