mcm97 screwed me over. I ordered a knee bolster and received a knee bolster puzzle. It was cracked beyond repair and pieces were missing off of it. Mounting holes were broken. Would not buy from him again. I do not recommend.

NINA85 (a new member with 3 posts) doesnt have realistic expectations. First of all, I shipped a knee bolster and vents to him from Texas to Hawaii for $45. The freight alone was more than I charged him for bolster and vents because he DEMANDED a tracking number and FedEx was the cheapest way to go because of the size of the box - USPS wanted over $70 and FedEx cost me $62 so I'm out $17 already. The vents were in perfect shape. The knee bolster had MINOR cracking in the area below the steering column which wouldnt be visible with the bolster mounted on the car. As far as the mounting holes being broken I'm not sure how that's possible. I took the bolster off with a drill and anyone that knows about these cars knows it takes only a few screws to mount and unmount these things so I'm not sure where it all went wrong for the buyer but perhaps for future purchases he's better suited to get factory fresh parts at the dealer. Sellers beware, this guy clearly has unrealistic expectations

FYI This came out of the same car. The interior was in great shape.

I purchased a black interior (several thousand dollars) from Paul LaDue and it has basically fallen apart. The leather covered dash self-destructed in a matter of days and I am going to have to spend significant dollars on removing it and having a new dash installed. I have attempted to contact Paul and thus far, he has ignored me. His actions are very suspect and unprofessional...I would definitely recommend avoiding doing any business with Paul LaDue.

Neil22 is a great seller. Just got his mtech1 steering wheel. Came as advertised minus the emblem in the middle which was an honest mistake. I had 2 laying around anyway. Fast shipping with insurance and priority, and was packaged well. All at an exceptional price. Thanks neil!

christ944341 otherwise known as Christopher Tornello has a habit of misrepresenting parts then failing to communicate.
After verbally verifying with Christopher that his taillights were uncracked funds were transferred via Paypal. Upon receipt several large cracks were found. I emailed the seller and received no response for weeks. I sent the parts back and still no response. Finally filed a Paypal claim and the investigation decided in my favor and refunded my money.

I just finished searching his posts.
Found more that one disgruntled customer.
That's why I check the For Sale thread history first.

Was very thorough with his questioning about such a simple part... and I am glad! I wish more buyers were like him! Fantastic buyer who wants to make sure he gets the best.

kohlmetoba

I would suggest not selling to this person, kept on changing his mind after sending funds. Kept on trying to get things for free and would not answer questions. Out of all of the people I have sold to here, I have never had as many problems as I did with kohlmetoba. So be warned.

Got the hookup on a horn button from Mr. Shagrath, SUPER FAST shipping, almost on the verge of insanity.

Mike in Seattle, again same insane deal with insane shipping, VERY HAPPY with the euro turns!

AND, finally a thanks to GARAGISTIC for the ODO gears, fast shipping and cheap price. I want to afford the ODOgears.com part, but can't justify spending 10% of what I paid for the car on some gears---yet.

thanks again guys, You are what makes this site a great one!

I wanna give a shout to project e28 for fast delivery of a nice blue coin tray. Well done sir thanks!

Also wanna say how delighted I was to do deal with keith (blue shadow). He repaired my obc light bar with led's and it works superb! I would have fixedit but my soldering equipment blows so I'm glad he was able to repair it for me. He was honest, timely, and well versed in soldering and electronics. Superb job! i hope you got some beer with that cash! ;)

Thanks wkohler for quick shipping on a nice german print obc. Works nicely thank you sir.
