He came to my house to buy my turbo. TE-44 w/pollished housing and a adjustable actuator. I sent him pic's of it, I left it on the car so he could listen to it, drive in the car and see if it smoked. I took him for a ride and while in a roll I stomped it and it went sideways. He was happy! Well he said i'll take it! I was asking $435.00 for this turbo. So I had to take it off "HOT" and when I got it off and over to the work bench we felt for shaft play and it had some "side to side" none "in and out" so I totally got confused on which it was that was normal the side to side OR the in and out. and it was getting late and I thought the shaft play was bad so I said just give me $300.00 I don't want to screw anyone. and later that same night I talked to mark thomas AKA "PUDDIN" and he advised me that there was nothing wrong with that turbo that it's normal. So I called jason shell "jashel1562" back and told him this news and said I got the shaft play confused that there is nothing wrong with it and he said he would have it checked out and then send me the $75.00. he had it checked out and admitted it was NOT bad and it was NOT worn out but could use a rebuild. then in other posts he said he was under the impression that the turbo was like new or almost new. I NEVER SAID THAT AT ALL I told him when he asked me, (how many miles on the turbo?) I told him and everyone else that I have no idea cause it was on there when I bought the car. LOOK UNDER THE "HYBREED" section under malibu wagon swap. and read just some of this crap. this guy is a real leaker. It's nice to do buisness with real men and have honesty. it's smartasses like this that ruin the buick comunity. I guess it really is my fault for lowering the price before talking to someone first but it was like 10:00 at night and I did'nt want to bother anyone that late, then after he left is when puddin called and told me that I just screwed up. oh well!! be leary of JASHEL1562 don't want anyone else to get screwed!!!!!
