This one is not too crazy, just a shame the guy is losing his tax money he spent.

*edit* probably a girl, since they want no calls, email only. The shop probably saw her coming... This is a small town just north of where I live, only one or two auto repair places there.

The 1.8T is an interference motor. At minimum you're looking at several bent valves, at worst damaged pistons and head. Changing the timing belt alone is $700-900.

Default this is a new one on me
"I'm selling my rims for $600, that price is Extremley low so No Low Ballers
Had them on my car for a month but the rims where too heavy and now my car's tranny is blown
Need the cash asap
will do a trade/ cash deal you have stock tires for a 2001 Toyota Camry "

I never knew that rims that were too heavy could blow the tranny
