The Unfortunate dealings Options

[914nb]

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.

I sold my '70 1.7 car to Nathan when he posted a WTB project car. I said it's very much a project, needs a ton of rust repair and will be missing a lot of parts. I explained that it had major hell hole rot, sent him pics and suggested he buy my new, restoration design suspension console because it was one of the big parts needed for a big rust repair job. I told him no bumpers, no interior, no dash, ect and sold him the car for $1.500.

We sent back and forth dozens of emails and pics but I constantly warned Nathan that this was a project car that needed work. I could make way more money parting it out but I felt a sub 40K mile car should be put back on the road. I like the car and was a bit sentimental since it was similar to the first one I owned. I also referred Nathan to my past posts on the car to show what it used to have. None of those posts were altered and they document the major hell hole rust and suspension console concern.

Nathan pleaded with me for extra parts so independent of the $1,500 sale price, I gave him seats, dash, front and rear bumpers, rear valance, interior door parts, steering wheel and a bunch of other small items. All FREE. The wheels where an old pair of steel wheels just to make it a roller for the transport company.

I got run around by his transport company, leaving work to race home, only to be told the pickup was a false alarm. a couple more similar calls until it was finally picked up.

Lately, I had tried to help him get replacement fuel injectors since he said the old ones were leaking. I made contact with the guy who was selling NOS for $50 each, offered to buy them for Nathan and ship to the UK for $30 but he declined.

This morning, he threatened me with legal action. I wished him the best but I'm not going to be part of the crazy.

I told my wife, no good deed goes unpunished.

Edited post - Nathan Is welcome to post emails, pm or pics I sent to him as long as he post them all to show the true context of the deal.

If only that were the case mark! But obviously your not going to publicly shame yourself i guess.

I wont show you up posting pictures and messages but we both know and thats that.
