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. |

“Oh and the last thing he had to say?
LOL, have a good life!” Yep, after you threatened me with legal action, I figured it was a better response than what I wanted to write. Yes, many parts are different from the old pictures of the car because that’s what we agreed to. Accusing me of switching out injectors for leaky ones, lol. Because good used 1.7 injectors are worth so much money that I offered to help you buy the nos ones and send them to you. Like many parts of the car, the dash, seats, etc is different than what was in the old pictures. I threw in a core dash and seats even though and after we agreed that the cars interior would be stripped. I figured driver parts would be better than nothing. Same with the bumpers, valance and many other parts. They were specifically not part of the deal but your many emails, some explaining your condition, made me think it would be helpful to at least have core or driver quality parts to work with. You didn’t mind accepting all the parts for free. I asked a couple members what they paid for their project cars, took the lowest price and then took half of that. $1,500. This is a numbers matching, sub 40 thousand mile car with good title. So if we are going to bring up your physical condition as a disadvantage to negotiations, I would say they disadvantaged me because I have empathy for your situation and always gave you the benefit. Same with car pickup that you hired. I made multiple trips back to my house from work for pickups that never happened and let it go. I stand by the transaction I did with you as being upfront, above board and as agreed by both parties. I’ve done thousands of transactions on this and other sites and have never had one disagreement over a transaction. So yes, have a nice life. |
