Con man is now a meme.
Yelp page for Paragon Automotive, where all this took place, is equally as entertaining.

Aw, that sucks.
He paid way too much for the car anyway. They aren't collectors items.

>buying anything from LA County
LA and Orange County are the scummiest places on Earth. Take it from someone who lives in SoCal.
Everybody is scummy, business owners treat their customers like shit, most business owners are fob ass Asians, their girls are sluts and their guys are faggots. The guys that aren't faggots are in gangs, and the girls that aren't sluts are the old Asian ladies that take the bus.
They are probably the lowest of the low.

He was cucked way before he got scammed
>spending $33,000 on a 6 year old honda 4banger
To end up here, he turned down:
A high mileage NSX
Twin turbo last gen supra
V10 m5
A new FR-S/New Miata with +10k [to spend modding it] lul
A WRX STI
Evo X
New V8 Mustang/Camaro
R-spec Genesis
a focus ST + 10k for mods
>>14665873
>A high mileage NSX
>he turned down an NSX of any type
literally what. The. Fuck.
Also for the money he could have got a clean, CLEAN ass Honda Beat, which is practically the Kei version of the NSX
This guy almost deserves to get ass raped by a con man
>>14665884
For that money, he could have became a registered nurse practitioner.
>C6 with low miles
>newer 911 turbo S
>a mint 6 series
>a supercharted mercury maurauder with money to spare

How on earth do you drive this thing?
>>14665992
33k usd for an s2000 is a massive rip
but so is 40k aud for a stock evo 6.5
or 40k for a spirit r
or 40k for a surpa rz-s
>>14666014
Couldn't find a more expensive supra, that's only $30k, TME looks like it would suit S2K buyers stupid criteria (low kms, high price) and $40k is no where near a bad price for a spirit-r.
>>14666009
All properly designed gasoline engines have peak power near the redline.
If peak power is early in the rev range, that means torque is dropping off severely at much lower revs than what what the engine itself is capable of revving to. The lower torque at higher revs implies the engine cannot get enough air due to inadequate bad intake/head design.
>>14666009
You drive it by buying an Autozam AZ-1 instead and upping the boost.

>For that money, he could have became a registered nurse practitioner.
Not likely. I've still got a year to go and I'm more than 60k in to it...
>>14666009
>when stock
This is the important aspect here, anon. Add a turbo and things change. Drastically.
Also it was the last vehicle personally approved by Soichiro Honda himself before he died, so that's pretty cool.
>>14665859
We get it. You live in the shitty ass SGV. Don't blame the rest of the county for your miserable life.
>>14665884
Is this even available in burgerland?

>Me living in New York I obviously had to transport the car back
should have drove it back gum ball style
the yelp reviews are hilarious
found this on the s2000 forum
>I was on the phone with my cousin when he took his 93 metro in and I was shocked what I heard over the phone. the owner tried telling him "You're lucky that nos didn't blow the welds on the intake! Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block, and replace the piston rings you fried."
>I thought he was joking when my cousin said "you almost had me".. Then the owner said - "You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should...."
>I was appalled. My cousin Said he didn't want to do business with someone that was so disrespectful. Low and behold the owner had to have the last word and yelled " Why don't you try FatBurger from now on? You can get yourself a cheese and fries for 2.95, f**got!"
>Can't believe the business practices.
another groovy thing that can happen
>getting car painted at body shop
>job is 90 finished and I'm just waiting on a couple of parts
>shtf and business went bankrupt because the owner was a meth addict
>debit collectors start moving in to liquidate everything they can get there hands on
lucky the staff were cool and told me to come pick everything
the dude who did the spray painting kept in touch and finished the last bits for me at his new job
>>14665873
Where are you finding turbo Mk4 Supras for only $33k?
I've seen them selling at up to $60k.
