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. |

Sorry to hear about your experience with this transaction - and most importantly your health conditions.
I'm local to Mark and have known him personally for a year. He is trusting, open and a really charitable guy. I would find it difficult to think that he would have done anything shady for his own gain. There are no perfectly solid 914's out there. If this is the car I think it was, I wish mine was half as nice when I bought it... I hope you can get this sorted out and the ramifications of the deal don't affect your love of these cars and participating in this community. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Misunderstandings happen, and occasionally BIG ones happen. I'm sorry you feel the way you do and you're in the position you feel you are. This isn't simply a case of this community "protecting one of their own." Many of us here have years of personal dealings with Mark where he's been nothing but generous and shown nothing but integrity. |
