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'll throw my $.02 out there as I have personally bought way too many old cars in my short time on this planet. When you buy any car, but especially an old car, and especially an old Porsche, you have to accept from the get-go that you are opening a can of worms. At best, these cars are 44 years old now. There are going to be broken and or missing parts. There is going to be rust (especially on a 914). You don't buy one of these cars unless you have deep pockets or lots of free time to foot regular maintenance let alone deferred repairs.

I realize there are some accusations of misrepresentations here. All I can say is to make sure everything is in explicit detail in writing if you expect it to be included as a part of the sale. Additionally, you should always, always, always physically inspect the car or send someone to do this on your behalf. I realize you are not in the same geographic area. That being said, if you could not send someone to check out the car on your behalf, then you must understand that is a risk to the purchase.

Despite every party's best intention in a transaction, no one can read minds or remember the smallest minutia. In my personal experience, lawyers will make no one money but themselves in these situations (sorry if you are an attorney). I do not feel that a public shaming on this forum is going to accomplish your goals, OP. It sounds like you are the new owner of a car that needs a lot of work. So, instead, I would focus my efforts on the new task at hand or finding another owner to take over the project.
