well the deal fell through and now I am being inundated by scammers. There is one long distance seriously interested party but having looked at every option there just does NOT seem to be any 100% safe way to sell long distance. This has become a real PITA.

My Slingshot is going half way across the country to its new owner. I changed the oil and filter myself last Spring with advice from others, was easy. But I can't find where I wrote down the information on the filter and oil type. ??
Thanks everyone!

He sent me two checks, and will not be picking the slingshot up until Spring. Plenty of time for the checks to clear.

So my short answer is feel free to work with the buyer on the reported sales price - 11% is a lot - but do not get scammed on the method of payment. I'm not telling you how to do your sale but please DO NOT get scammed on the payment. Be very sure that the form of payment is solid, whatever it is, BEFORE you release the Sling or it's title.
I wasn't aware that bank-to-bank wire transfers could be reversed. At this point I don't think he's going to buy it anyway, he didn't pay attention to the details that there are bedazzle crystals on it. For some guys they like it but for most it presents a problem LOL
Thanks SlingLow!

studiopeg I see no problems, just cash both checks before he gets the title??
It will be bank-to-bank wire, and I can't foresee any problems with doing that on the title either. Thanks.

Almost everyone here knows my beloved blinged out slingshot. I have a legitimate interested party in Kansas, and I am in Massachusetts. I purchased it from a man in Oklahoma and shipped it here so it can work.
The guy is not a scammer, we have talked extensively. He's been looking specifically for an orange madness. He is very knowledgeable about slingshots.
He had some interesting title questions. Seems Kansas charges 11% tax on vehicle registrations, wow... He asked me what I thought of him making two purchases - one for the slingshot at say $12,500 then another for the mods at $12,500. That would save him a lot of registration money if I put $12,500 on the title. I will not leave the title blank, I know enough not to do that.
What does everyone think about doing this? Could it backfire in some way? Technically, he is paying for the mods as I am getting $25,000 for the slingshot, well beyond the stock book value.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks for your kind words. Yes life is going to be different without my slingshot and the group will fall apart. Sad day but there will be more things to look forward to.

This will likely be the last time I ever drive my Slingshot since the snow and salt is coming in two days, and my husband is getting half of everything I own in the divorce so it’s already up for sale… but Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays from the Grinch (Peg)!

I’m selling my slingshot and someone who has a 2021 wants the top. I know the guy does not make the tops anymore. Is there any way to find out if it will fit a 2021? Thanks

I contacted Lexani who denied ever hearing of such a thing. I also contacted Rev Dynamics and they said they have heard the clicking on many slingshots and believe it to be brake related, which makes sense here.
I did clean the other front wheel yesterday and I have zero clicking now, after an entire season of being driven crazy by it.
So now we know. It is more important than ever that we all keep our mating surfaces clean....
-
So I changed my oil this morning and while it was jacked up, I cleaned the left wheel as recommended in that video. Clicking is gone in that wheel.
I'm going to contact Lexani and ask them if they have had this in their wheels in the past. So at least I know I don't have to go through a bunch of unneeded repairs.
-
Dealership is stumped, says upper ball joints *will* need replacing but not just yet, and tie rod ends are good.
Then I got to thinking, what if it's the Lexani wheels? They are either 4 or 5 piece wheels and this is my first season with them. They are the common denominator at this point, and not stock parts.
Did a youtube search, and found this and would like to know what you all think, if this could possibly be the problem on mine??

Yeap, I see that also, definitely the reason it is doing a second drop. studiopeg - can you take a picture kinda from the back or front to see what that arm is catching on? I can't tell from the picture, but wondering if the socket head allen screw on the the bracket is sticking out a little bit and catching the arm, hard to tell by the angle of the picture.
Genius and what customer service! Love you guys. Yep that was it indeed. It didn't feel loose to the finger, but putting an allen wrench in there moved it and now it's back to working fine.
I put just a dab of blue loc-tite on it
Thanks Dave!!!!!!!!

Hi Dave,
Here are two pictures. The first is where it stops when partially closing the hood, and the second is where it falls to a second or two later (or if I slightly push).
Thanks!
-
They said they checked everything and it all looks tight and as it should and they do not feel there is a safety issue, so I'm just gonna ride and keep an eye on it.
-
So their guess is upper ball joints, because the oversized tires/wheels put stress on the crap stock stuff...
After repairing that, if it's still there then it's tie rods ends.
Not sure if i really want to repair a bunch of things chasing the real problem................
-
Dealership has had it three days. They don't know what the clicking is.

Lately when I have my hood extended all the way (I have the DDMWorks hood extension hinges), and then carefully drop the hood to the first position, it stops there as it should. But then without me touching it, it suddenly drops another few inches. So something needs adjusting, but I don't know what.
Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks!
