if someone at artisan really made those kinds of comments, that just makes the whole company look bad, and in the wrong business.
Agreed. Why badmouth the guy to other customers? Whatever the seller's financial situation, I don't think its any of their concern nor do they need to ridicule the guy behind his back.

CRB is correct in "guessing" what i meant. My thought process was who else but someone with "new" money would but this? If I had the money for a $65k car plus $30k on aftermarket parts, I'd rather buy a new $90k car and spend the leftover $5k on small mods so I would have better reliability, better exclusivity, and less risk of looking like a ricey car show that a younger person would more likely do, but that's my cup of tea.

So what I meant was, the company should expect someone with got easy cash/credit would (in my judgement) more likely buy this kit, and they should not have made any negative comments about a paying customer. Who did they think would buy this, Warren Buffet and Donald Trump?

Back to the guy selling, who knows what is really going on. His profile says he's 21, engaged, with a kid, the posts between him and his some of friends suggest he's a cocaine drug dealer. The pictures of him show the typically lifestyle of someone his age with a decent amount of money and the pictures of his closer friends show that they don't own cars anywhere close to what he has. I believe I even saw a comment that he was sponsored, so who knows if he really spent all that money. Someone here messaged him and busted him on incorrect information, and so on. I guess I could use up more time and make wild imaginative speculations of what is going on, but who cares - other than the buyer of that car.

I thought they changed the launch control issue for the new year model?

I bet you that he told one of his "boys" to bid on his car, he is not selling that car for $56k. We all know it, lol

If that is his friend, the seller will still have to pay ebay listing fees and selling fees.

He can report the "winner" as a deadbeat buyer and not have to pay the fees, if I remember correctly.

well to go back on what i said... and not defending anybody... I said that the statement was from a unnamed GUY. It was just a guy i talked to, an employee. I just dont want anyone coming back and saying that company sucks from my words. Regardless... hope the best for the seller and any buyer.

LOL, no worries. I wasn't planning to do business with them or even talk about the company, so hopefully I won't let the cat out the bag.

An analog would be that you go in for some work at a local mechanic and he regales you with tales of your he took "some idiot" for a few thousand dollars by doing work that wasn't necessary. The bottom line is, the following week you might be the "idiot".
I said the same thing and the super heros of cl came to his defense. They said I was hating, lol I knew that artisian seen a sucker who came up on some cash with no common sense and took his cash.
