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. |

Hey Mark, I feel for you buddy. I've been in the service business since '79. Dealing with screwballs is a part of dealing with the public. I haven't met this character but I do know him through years of dealing with the public. They are few and far between, thank goodness. Take comfort in knowing you are not the first or last person he will "dump" on. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't his MO. It's obvious to all here that he he prefers taking the "low road". His "Thunder" consists of unfounded accusations and martyrdom with accents of hypochondria. If I were you I wouldn't honor any of his accusations with a reply. Nor do you need to defend your integrity. This is the first negative comment about you that I've heard in your 10+ years here. Continue your journey on the High Road my friend. You'd be lost elsewhere. Kent
