Hi all,
Unfortunately today I have to voice myself, I appreciate this may not sit well with some people but the truth is the truth. Mark (mepstein) contacted me in regards to a wanted ad for a car, after some back and forth I purchased the car. Unfortunately it isn't a good story, Its rotten where he stated it was solid, parts missing where he confirmed they were complete and I even have pictures confirming parts were swapped after my purchase and before the collection. The 4 reconditioned injectors are very dangerously leaking and iv been unable to verify engine condition because the running when parked car has relays missing- it has been suggested by a member that the injectors have been swapped for the broken ones he suggested he had returned from Mr injector- who knows. I have contacted Mark to see if he will rectify some of the issues or missing parts who was very unhelpful. Mark knew my health issues and i believe took advantage of my uk location. I have all messages and picture proof, its clear im going to get no help and im stuck with what iv got but be careful when you hand over your hard earned cash because Unfortunately not everyone has good intentions. Thanks for those who have messaged me, your support is very much appreciated. For those who won't like what iv said l, I apologise but whatever side of the pond you are wrong is wrong and iv not listed anything I haven't got valid proof of. He says he gave me some parts that were missing in the photos but that doesn't give him the right to steel parts from my then car. Oh and the last thing he had to say? LOL, have a good life! Feel free to hate on me, iv told the truth- and if you have some parts for sale please keep a look out for the wanted advert I will need to post. All the best. Nathan. |

We have no idea about your personal experience with Mark- only you and he know that. All I can tell you is I have known and been dealing with Mark for over 10 years now and he has always, 100%, been upfront, honest and generous. He is a guy who has gone out of his way to help and support this community.
I am not sure how experienced you are with 914s and the condition of these cars in their unrestored condition but they are all rust buckets to varying degrees. The rule we live by is always buy the best example you can afford and be prepared for rust repair. After all, a 50 year old car with no rust protection from the factory is going to have rust and be missing parts. I wish you the best in regard to your health and I hope you can work this out and come to love your 914 as you hopefully begin to put it together and get it back on the road. Cheers, Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Cheers, Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks Micheal, Thing is whats Wrong is wrong no matter where you live, I agree i thought he was nice but once approached and asked to rectify the stolen/changed parts he completely changed and showed his true colours. Parts changed on the car after I bought it and things that were included are now missing- never even mentioned its had a rear wreck and has filler popping out! Everyone will have their own story, i just have mine in pictures and emails, im stuck with how things and and what iv ended up with he just obviously thought he was more desperate than I. Nathan |
