I have to chime in once again too, in leu of the "cheaper insurance" story. I about fell out of my chair when I read that line! Basically, the guy is claiming he had an immaculate, VALUABLE GN, but decided to spend time, money, and effort to destroy the value of the car, just to save anywhere from $10-$20 a month on insurance? Ahhhhhha, stop,,, the laughter is hurting my side!!! I suppose if the guy had a beautiful 3000 sq/ft brick home on an acre of land, he'd burn it and tear it down to replace it with a mobile home, in order to not have to pay those darn high home owner insurance fees...? Yeah,,, right! Do your friend a favor; smack him in the head, and when he regains consciousness, if he still wants to buy the car, have him committed! The only remote value appearant in this car, is the actual motor. Is it worth $2500, doubtful, based on all the other hooey that's been thrown around.
I sold my 87 T for $4250 to a friend, running low 12's in it's current trim. Your buddy can surely find a good, legitimate deal out there, with far less headaches and uncertainties!!! However, I'll give credit to whomever came up with the insurance excuse,,,,,, he should go into a comedic profession!
