Well it looks like the guy was just trying to scam us the entire time.
When he presented us the paper copy of his "purchase" of a clutch, timing belt and water pump it was all written on a piece of paper in pen that an elementary school child could replicated. There was no specifications on the purchase it was simply labeled:
Clutch 300
Timing Belt 250
Water pump 350
And a little signature at the bottom for authenticity. I was reluctant at first but I brushed it off. I decided later that night to ask him for a picture of the receipt so I could verify it with the auto shop he took it to and he replies that he's slightly offended for not believing him. He goes on to say that "I promise you that I did it, you just have to take my word for it." And to top it all off he says "sometimes you just have to trust people, we're not all bad."
Riiiiiight, he didn't want to leave his car at my mechanic overnight and he's asking me to buy his car without verification. The world is filled with scumbags.
Looks like I'm back on the hunt for another GTI/RSX type S
