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. |

Again, you make allegations, cast aspersions, say you were ripped off, and the only proof you have shown this group is one grainy picture of a steering wheel. Did Mark send you the picture with the nice wheel, or did you find it and compare?
It's poor form to make pretty serious accusations about someone and then when called on it say, "Thats me now, said my bit." If you were ripped off, show us. If you can't then Mark's story sure seems to hold up a lot better than yours. |

I could publish every message and picture i have and mark would still get the backing of the group, but yes athe picture is one mark sent me after payment and one I took when i received the car- nothing could get the one on the car to shine its totally disintegrated. I took the injectors to the local bosch service centre who confirmed they were scrap and he voiced his opinion that they had been grouped together as its near impossible 4 could have the same issue at the same time. Mark offered to buy injectors that were advised on here and ship them to me using my money, thats why I declined- why would I send more money when I didn't get what I paid for the first time. I voiced genuine issues and I can validate every one, mark has made it clear that he will do nothing to correct his wrong doing so the matter is done i guess- I will have to purchase the parts to replace over time and then start to make headway with the repairs when i can, until now its into storage. I said iv said my bit because Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of good health and im in the middle of a flair up right now and I just don't have the energy to fight. I guess i was looking for a little support but atleast iv raised awareness. Im always happy to chat, personal message me anyone is welcome. |

I'm not taking sides, but these things never ever result in good conclusions. You're about to spend a lot of time and effort and likely still be unhappy with the result. I'd recommend you take it privately, or just walk away. There's clearly no winning strategy here. "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?" GA |
