The "I am a lucky bastard" thread



Picked this up for $300 today on craigslist including the Wings West flush mount spoiler. I showed up and the seller was a cool guy...whole kit is painted NBP and in perfect condition with only the front lip scraped and needing sanded down. All the hardware was there and everything. I handed the guy the cash and he handed me back $20. $280 for a full OEM kit and WW spolier. I'm going to sell the spoiler for prob $75....meaning OEM lip kit for $205. This shit never happens to me so I had to brag to someone..lol.

you technically saved more money than me.

I paid $1200 easy for my TL's lip kit.

that flush mount is a couple hundred more.

you got a damn good deal for sure

damn that's dirt cheap for a lip kit with flushmount....
my story ...3 years ago i was jogging around my backyard hiking trial and i saw this envelop ..i almost didn't pick it up ..thinkback it might be something important or a junk ...but as i pick it up ..it feels its something in there ...as i open it up i found 1500 cash and now im there with 1500 and theres no one there i grab it and took off jogging again and it was the most easiest making money ever in my life ....anyways luck only comes once in a while .....

My 99 TL lip kit was FREE!!! I got a TL lip kit for my 03 CLS6 for $400 and I got a set of 18" ebony chrome a-spec wheels for $500 brand new! Recently I got 2 Eclipse amps for free along with 2 10" Eclipse subs, and all the wiring. One amp is a 4 channel and the other amp is a 1 channel. A friend of mine does car stereo install and he's gonna install my shit for free! That is the end of my "lucky bastard" story.

Kinda, but not really. I work at a car dealership and someone traded in an Expedition with all that stuff in it. The used car manager told me I could take what I wanted out of it because they don't like to sell used cars with aftermarket stereos in them. They usually throw that stuff away unless someone wants it. So it was all legit.

Interesting... not throwing any hate by any means, but i am a firm believer in karma. Even if someone made a mistake in your favor, I'd rather do the right thing. Just sayin' ...
