Repo man takes it away

**uberrs6** · December 17th, 2009, 06:26

After long but not so successful negotiations with Capital One for a short sale...no deal. Thanks to dhall for his persistence and patience and for a good attempt.

So the repo man came today and carefully and gracefully took the car away on a flat bed

I made sure he didn't use chains or hooks, gave him both keys and all the owners books.

The VIN is WUAPV54B73N905774 Keep your eyes open in case you see it pop up. I sure hope it finds a good home. I put a note in the owners manual with my contact information so perhaps the new owner can get in touch with me for the vehicle history.

Meanwhile I am driving a 1991 Honda Prelude that I bought from the original owner for $300 bucks. It's in amazing shape, even the electric antenna still works.

Here is a list of things I have for sale from the RS6.

LED tail lights and the LED license plate bulbs
Custom fit car cover by Covercraft made with their sunbrella fabric.
2 Sirius radio units.
1 for the Symphony II radio
1 for the RNS-E
A transmission service kit with 8 qts of Red Line synthetic ATF

If you all thought banks were raping us before, just wait for 2010. They aren't loaning us our money and they're pissed at the new CC rules.

My leasing bank for my first RS6 was a complete jerkoff. I was paying them more per month than the car was depreciating and they wouldn't keep the lease open for a few months for one of their best customers. F'em. I gave it back to them and I paid cash for my new one.

P.S. I don't think they will notice a minor change I made....

sorry about the car and your situation. It sounds like you are sucking it up pretty well. This downturn will only make your recovery and future success that much more rewarding.

Enjoy your family and the holidays.

Bruce

p.s. - I used to have credit with Capital One. I ran away as fast as I could from them. Complete dicks and no customer service.

**ben916** · December 17th, 2009, 17:06

I feel ya man, 2008/2009 have been tough years for many, including me.

Like Bruce said, enjoy your family and the holidays.

**DHall1** · December 17th, 2009, 17:55

Bruce,

+1 on the bonehead Capital One banker. I was amazed, here I sit cash in hand and there he sits 3000 miles away and a car to repo. Here I sit to save his bacon and he will not even talk to me. Ha

Lets see, banks raping us. Hmmm why? Could it be the koolaid money at the fed window? Free FIAT money will do it every time. Banks could care less about small business or loans when the koolaid money is free. :eye:

Sorry about the chain of events. I may be interested in the dns and sirius, shoot me a pm with a price.

**crespo** · December 17th, 2009, 19:54

I have to chime in on CapOne as well. Had a CC theft issue with them, card was clean then was overcharged by like 2K over the limit. CapOne was impossible to deal with, a bunch of monkeys. I eventually dealt with the collection agency to get rid of that mess and fix my credit. They saw how open I was and immediately helped me out, but CapOne dumped the debt onto them and I still had to pay 1.5K more than I owed. Ridiculous, moronic bank, wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Sorry to hear about your situation. You seem to be dealing with it rather well. go with a reputable bank next time, i guess :\

**RS6-4dr911** · December 17th, 2009, 20:11

Why don't you just track it down and go buy it back at auction for $0.50 on the dollar? Then drive by CrapitalOne with your ass hangin out the window while giving them a one fingered salute???

**hahnmgh63** · December 17th, 2009, 21:32

uberrs6, where are you located? I may be interested in the Redline ATF if it is the D4. hahnmgh@yahoo.com

**uberrs6** · December 18th, 2009, 01:55

It is D4. I have 8 qts plus the gasket and filter kit. I live in Phoenix AZ.

**Yellow RS6** · December 18th, 2009, 18:46

Wait, let me get this straight. Dhall had cash in hand to buy your car (and I see you are right there in AZ also) but Cap One would rather repo it?? Unbelievable!!

This is why I always tell people, if you have the opportunity (through work, spouse, or whatever) to join a credit union - do it! They are so much better than regular banks. I've been with Navy Federal for over 17 years and they've always done me right.

**peiserg** · December 18th, 2009, 19:13

ahh well. You're the guy by beardsly, right? just up the street from me.

sorry to hear your circumstances have changed. i was wondering why you never followed up on the water injection setup. it's killer.

**DHall1** · December 18th, 2009, 20:10

Yep,

Not only would Capital One not listen. Capital One would not even speak to me on the phone.

Cash in hand buyer before all the carry costs were on the books, before the repo man was sent out, willing to cut a deal and save Capone's ass on all carry costs.

Would not even take the time of day to speak to me.

hahah, a lesson learned again about how stupid people can really be.

Capital One. This curb is mine biotch

what do you want for the car cover and the radio

**uberrs6** · December 20th, 2009, 15:19

The custom fit cover is a Covercraft made from their Sunbrella fabric. I paid $400.00 for it, used it a half dozen times. It's in like new condition. I expect to get $200.00 plus shipping.

The Sirius module for the Symphony II radio is the only other thing I have left. I also paid $400.00 for this and only used it for 2 months before I realized you cant use this unit with the RNS-E. I'd like to get $200.00 for this also.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for their kind words and support through these difficult times. Many of the members here not only paid my asking price for the items but sent me extra $ to cover paypal fees and shipping.

I've been on the Honda forums learning about my 3rd gen Prleude. Those guys don't nearly have the class that I've enjoyed here on RS6.com

Happy Holidays.
