I sent out a money order on feb. 9 2004 for a T-5 Shift plate for my 89 formula. He assured me that it would fit. He repsonded to one of my emails on the 13th and said that it was IN THE MAIL. Mind you, he was only 2 states away...

In the meantime, about a week later I havent seen the package so I requested a tracking number. He gave me some bogues tracking number..... had characters that the USPS doesnt even use. I have them track it anyway. Yup, bogus tracking number. So here I am, he has my money, I have no part, and a bogus tracking number. I am starting to worry...... He responds to one of my emails:

"IT WILL BE THERE"

Extremely unprofessional.... but, I give him the benfit of the doubt.


I GOT MY SHIFT PLATE TODAY!! He told me it was shipped on the 15th of this month. As I look at the box....it was shipped TWO DAYS AGO on the 23rd.....over a week after he said he shipped it...


I open the box, and its a shift plate for a mid to early 1980's camaro. And to boot, theres not even the holes for the switches like he said.

This guy flat out lied to me the WHOLE damm time. He's a skeezball and I will NEVER send him any f my money again.

If you want to have your money tied up for weeks, get lied to, and end up getting the wrong part in the end.....THIS is your guy to deal with!

 

I have bought parts from this guy. I bought a dash pad them a few months later a replacement radio when mine went south. Had good luck both times. I meet him at the american iron shootout last year. He has a red 89 GTA with a procharger.

Kinda surprising to hear this, I actually bought my car from him about 4 years ago. He was a little tough to catch up with as he was pretty busy around that time, was a outstanding guy to buy something from. He even towed my car out to the machine shop!

 

eric glad to see you at the oc will be there again in the fall sold my current pontiac looking to get another formula TPI to do a home made twin turbo setup with some spart parts a few welding rods and alot of beers

On the the post have not been here in awhile sorry to see this here. Not sure it was a usps track # may have been a ups I use both just depends on what is closest in my travels that day or if i have something to big to ship from the post office with me also I will just hit ups to save a stop.
If i sent the wrong plate it was my mix up. I would be happy to replace it, Or if you find one elseware i will flip the bill for it.

post up if you want to take me up on the offer or i can just shoot you a refund.

 

I appreciate the offer, but why change your tune 6 months later? Ive talked to you since this was posted, and you were not willing to help then. I already have a shift plate, and a boot. No need to refund me anything (6 months later) or try to make things better. You are in my black book under "do not buy from again".

 

Well, with two threads about him, its obvious that people shouldnt do business with him. You should hate yourself for ripping people off :nono:
