Howdy all I have been back and forth in court over my 87 Blue Starion. While the car was no showpiece and it needed some work I ended up selling it for $500 a few years back. Anyway - (a board member on starquest.net Louie Salas aka Spoolup/Big D/And now I think BoostinBKNY) came to look at the car with his "cousin" . they gave me the $500 and drove off with the car and a few parts nothing exciting. A few months later he had the car for sale for $1200 but he had removed the leather interior (thats his prerogative and I did question it) Now the worst part I get a $300 ticket in the mail on the car from Brooklyn (who knows what the impound towing fees would have been).Seems like the car was stripped and abandoned somewhere in Brooklyn and the department of sanitation picked it up and it was impounded and then crushed.(coincidentally where he was from of course) I called his cell phone left messages never a call back. Finally I got him on the phone he told me his cousin bought the car that he would get in touch with me with his cousins information that he knew nothing about it that he didnt talk to his cousin. (didnt even give me his "cousin's" name). I had to miss two hours of work (this time) and provide any and all evidence I could find to rid my name of this ticket for a car I sold. Well I went to court and the judge was very nice and understanding and told me she would notify me in 30 days. AMEN I got a response today that the ticket and all charges were dismissed. I'm so happy, but just giving everyone fair warning. But hey I think he still has my leather interior in his car which is now for sale on the Starion board. I posted ads on starquest.net and he posted about the car too, he coincidentally edited them the day I left the 1st cell phone message about the ticket. (Of course I had printed his before and after posts and presented those in court as evidence) just an over all bad deal I've learned my lesson and will be wary on who I trust when selling a car. His e-mail was BKNYCIVIC@aol.com he was looking to buy another car or trade for his Starion so look out if anyone comes across this guy .
Someone bought stripped and abandoned my car (never registered it) Long ?

Pnyklr, just consider yourself lucky you did'nt have to make a trip downtown with the FBI and some po'd cops who show up on your doorstep. Because the car you sold years ago was sold many times AND still in your name AND was involved in a Armed Bank Robbery. To bad they couldn't catch it, it would have saved me a trip under the bright lights
