That's almost what I sold my 07 Duramax for. I would never pay that much for half a truck, and nearly 15 years old at that!

Was thinking the same thing. I think he's hoping someone with no brain realizes comp g had the hud and paddles, a supercharger was an option I think for that year. But he'll for $500 it would make a good donor car.

Sad reality is I went to highschool with this guy, outside of his shady car flipping and 100% fabbed story's about modifying and maintenance, he is an alright guy. He grabbed this car for 400 bucks (great deal) it has a ready to fail CV axle that managed to coat the drivers side undercarriage in grease, the side mirrors are held on with sheetrock screws and part of the rear bumper is stitched together with zip ties. This guy buys this junk under 500 makes absolutely no repairs (although will tell you he did) and sells to unsuspecting buyers for upwards of 3000 bucks consistently (mainly to highschool aged kids, first time car buyers) occasionally something breaks that involves an immediate repair and he dumps the car in my lap for usually less than he paid. I'm kinda hoping that CV axle goes soon so I can snag this Bonneville up and use it for work. Sorry about the long rant, I flip cars too but I have a heart and can't sell someone something i know is junk :/


Edit- Here's a screenshot of original ad

Should lock that guy up. Flipping cars used to mean buying grandma mobiles with blown head gaskets or some dumb kid who can't afford a mechanic, doing the repairs for cost, and then selling the fixed car at market price. These people nowadays aren't flippers, they're inflators.
I drove an hour and a half to look at an 04 Comp G for $2600. I give the guy full price, he hands it back and says the guy on his phone is on his way and will pay $300 extra to hold the car. I see that same exact car- year, make/model, color, comp g, mileage, everything- for $5000 2 days later on Craigslist. I called the guy and he admitted he didn't touch it, he's just "selling it for a friend."
Then my buddy sells his truck for 6000 and sees it on Craigslist by the end of the week for 8000. At least that dude apologized when he called and told him that floating the title is illegal and he's a lying piece of !#&$.
If you didn't fix anything, and you didn't change the oil, and you know nothing about the maintenance history, don't lie and say you do. That's a really dirty life to live.

It's pretty sad, but on a good note the fuel pump went on that ssei, he paid me 200 to come put a pump in a new CV axle and change oil. I told him he would be lucky to see 1500 for it, and since he is only 600 or so into it he would be making a ton of money. The car is now back on cl for 6k listing the repairs I performed. So I guess I'll just keep flagging them as I see them. I "flip" cars, I buy cheap I perform the major repairs and basic maintenance and if I can make a couple hundred bucks I'm ecstatic, and if I take a hit then so be it. In MN you can be jailed for title jumping and this dude will get his eventually.

It's a darn shame that the 3100 is almost useless for engine swaps. That would have been a decent donor car for a Fiero swap or something.

Apparently Red Wires + Yellow wiring harness = racing motor
