Multiple transactions with South26 and never a bad part or experience.

Ditto. Hey Tony, next time you want a part to match your every want and desire, how about you schlep yourself through a junkyard and cut it off yourself? That's what the rest of us do....

As for Andy, he's a rock star and made you whole without question. I think you owe him the respect of cleaning up your vile posts that went above and beyond simply communicating an issue and having it resolved.

I received quite possibly the nicest condition BMW license plate frame I have ever seen from Kohler the other day. It will hang gracefully from my engine-less E21.

Bought a "full" cruise control kit from c3p0. Arrived on time...but only 75% wheres I listed all the parts needed, with diagram.
He said he will send me the remaining parts. Never did. Pretend he shipped them. 1 month later, still nothing...

[c3p0]

no pretending here

First shipment arrived on time.
Next one, with the remaining parts: lost at sea? Sounds convenient.

Bought some oil filters from Blue Shadow and they arrived quickly and well-packaged with a nice surprise!

[Chimi-Changa]

Catching up:

Blue Shadow thumbs up x 2- Bought a very nice Little Big Brake Kit from him, and he even helped get it dropped off right to me from the e28 parts express!

vviking- M5 flywheel- shipped super quick, and expert package. Money order only but trusted source.

yar and wkohler- Thanks for the hard to find ECU, and Chris for testing and sending out.

Spen- B35 Starter, tested and shipped. Gracias

S_ Alvy- Black door cards, Thanks much

Dcains- AC Brackets- Yay!

Purchased a replacement brake booster from Andy (south26) a while ago and just got around to putting it in dry as Nevada compared to the old leaking unit. It's much cleaner too!

[oldskool]

I hadn't eaten all day, so I bought a hotdog off of the rollers at a Stab-n-Grab. Counterman Jerry was quick to note it was the very last one and informed me that it had been cooking all day. Win/Win.
Very pleasant transaction as Jerry was happy not to be gutted like a fish, and I could eat a well cooked hot dog walking back to the car.

Recently bought a set of euro bumpers from Evorobin. Great guy to do business with. Easy transaction, and the bumpers were at my door in less than a week. Thanks again Robin!

[EventuallyAyrton]

Bought a set if b32 injectors from MikeW (did you guys know that his last name is Wazowski?" And the longest part was waiting for the money order to get from me (NY) to him (CA). Everything else was very fast and packaged well. Excellent communication to boot. Overall a good experience, thanks Mike!

Tried to buy a filter housing from c3p0. Pm'd him with the part number saying I wanted a m30/s38 filter housing. Paid him, 5 days later asked him for a tracking number, no response. 2 days later asked him if he still planned to ship. Finally responds claiming he didn't have a shipping address (it was in the paypal transaction, which I copy from to pm him a response). I check the thread I pm'd him from, someone else is complaining about him not responding. Finally get the part 2 weeks after paying him.

I had opened a paypal dispute at this point, which I think is why he finally shipped it. Once he gave me the USPS number, I closed the dispute, big mistake.

I open the box to do an oil change about a week later, and the part has no drain plug. I guess US m30s don't have it only euro m30s. Misunderstanding, at least partially my fault, however I told him the part number of what I wanted. I PM him to return it, telling him that he can take $10 off the refund to compensate him for the time it took him to ship it as well as subtract the shipping price. No response. I ship it to him anyway, arrived 28 days after I told him I wanted to return it, thinking that any reasonable person would give a partial refund given that the incorrect part they shipped to someone was returned to them.

At this point, he has the returned incorrect part that he shipped to me, and hasn't refunded what I consider a reasonable request of letting him keep $18 because of the misunderstanding. Paypal doesn't let you open a 2nd dispute, so I'm stuck there.

I used to assume that there was a base level of character that you find in e28 owners, but I no longer feel that way. Beware c3p0. I had to fight him every step of the way.

I bought a used sunroof motor from Andy (south26). It was exactly as described, and was packed well and shipped quickly. Thanks again for a great transaction.

Beware c3p0. I had to fight him every step of the way.

Ok, I had a pretty negative experience with "c3p0" myself. Posted a WTB for injectors, he responded. I don't have and won't have a paypal account. Fuck paypal.

So I sent him a postal money order, and waited, and waited and waited. After 2 PM's, he finally responded after I sent him a third PM and threatened to expose him as a thief on the board.

He told me that "I shipped those three weeks ago". Bullshit. "Tracking #?", I asked. "Unfortunately I don't have a tracking number", was his reply. More bullshit.

I asked him what kind of person who's "business" is selling parts doesn't provide a tracking number, as doing so is an affirmative defense against accusations of fraud. Fucker replied with a PM with a tracking number, and "you should see them Wednesday".

Yes, I received them, but only after I accused him of being a scammer. Fuck that guy. No way in Hell will I use the injectors he sent me, since he's a fucking liar, who's to know what condition they are in anyway?? I'll just buy some new Gen2 Bosch 0556 refurbs that will be freshly tested, cleaned, flow-matched, with new o-rings for about $100 delivered.

TLDR: Fuck c3p0, he's a lying piece of shit and will try to steal your money.

Great experience buying a clutch overcenter spring from Dave (kojo96). Part as described, good price, and quick shipping. Thanks!

I bought a covering piece for my evaporator box from Andy (South26) and he is awesome! The price was great and he shipped it to me pretty damn fast. I definitely know that I will be buying more stuff from him in the future. Thanks Andy!

Yeah, pretty much every sensible person has had the same experience

Recently had a couple transactions worth mentioning.

First one was with dogabon. I purchased a crack free dash from him. The dash was well packed and looked even better than described. He was easy to work with and made sure it got to me. The dash was shipped from Spain to my house in North Carolina in 3 days. It was faster than shipping something across the country. Overall I was very pleased.

I also recently bought a turn signal stalk and headlight switch for the e12 from philipj. He was easy to work with, packed it well, and shipped it fast. I'd defiantly buy from him again.

And finally I bought from south26. He already has a great reputation, but felt it worth mentioning again. I bought an oil level sender from him and had a good translation with him. Would buy from him again.

Thanks guys!

Just received some premium sound tweeters from ahab and am very happy.
Great communication, very fair price and fast shipping.
I continue to have positive experiences buying on this forum.

I've had some great transactions of late with the following individuals:

Gooch - Bought his 87 535i, great guy to do business with! Genuine fellow that is a genuine enthusiast!

JW in VaBeach - Thanks for the great Colgan hood bra! I wish you all the best.
sbyrne - Thanks for a great part (059 ecu) at a bargain price!
steve 87 535is - Thanks for a really good M Tech 1 steering wheel!
kojo96 - Thanks for the really nice BMW E30 and E28 tools!

All parts were promptly shipped, properly packaged, and arrived without damage. Thanks again, guys. "No ragrets" joining this board and participating in this community. Some great people here! I look forward to meeting some of you at next year's Vintage.

That's right, I wouldn't ever do any body dirty.


I do appreciate the heads up man. glad everything got there in one piece w/out exploding. I can't imagine the result if a can did blow up in a government mail truck. That was sketchy hahah.

You'll have to hit me with your shops facebook so we can like it.

[Sam 84, 533i]

Really impressed with the professionalism from Andy "Misterfixit". Smoothest transaction Ive ever done. Item was shipped out very quickly.

[turbo_nine]

I want to commend PDX5 for his tremendous help in delivering a transmission to my friend's house so we could complete our transaction before he took off to travel. I was prepared to wait for his return if needed, but he loaded up an AT on a 100 degree day for me.

So yeah, I recommend. I also demerit myself some points for waiting until the last minute to try to buy it from him.

Long overdue, but south26 came thru with a whole 5 speed e28 swap for me last year. Installed middle of this year, the trans is quiet and all the parts Andy mentioned that he thought were questionable was a spot on assessment. Also has excellent understanding of the parts he is selling. Went out of his way to save money on shipping, and aside from how long the removal, packing and shipping process took, I was never concerned that he would come thru on this deal. Thanks again ++++1
