Default Porsche 993 parts kijiji Toronto - BEWARE

BUYERS BEWARE

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-auto-pa...ationFlag=true

Contacted him about some struts and a spare wheel - he wanted paypal and to ship even though he is apparently local in the city. Long story short, I didn't need the struts anymore but was interested in the wheel if it was 16". The 993 wheel he had was 15" not 16" so won't fit over the big reds. Never once gave me a name or phone number to contact. Kept insisting to pay by Paypal - beyond fishy and his last response sealed the deal for me to post this to warn others...

This was his last email to me after he finally told me the size of the spare wheel:

"27 emails man and three trips to my storage unit ive now spent about 20 bux in gas on this with you.

took pics and this is the best you can do for me.

I see why you have the money for a Porsche.

pinching pennies. typical Porsche person... yestermonies

and you will probably write back with some snarly s$$$ comments when deep down you know you f$$$$ wasted my god damn time"

If someone did purchase from him, I'd be curious to hear what your experience was like.

Sounds like the same guy that was on Rennlist (lopro) and was banned for screwing people all over the continent... He sent $5K worth of body parts (hood, fenders, etc) wrapped in duct tape and a few pieces of cardboard from Barrie to LA...And then was really sh*tty about returning the money once the mangled pieces arrived to the buyer...

BEWARE..

Interesting email he sends saying " I see why you have the money for a Porsche. pinching pennies. typical Porsche person... yestermonies" yet he was an owner himself he says in his add. LOL

If I was vindictive, I'd ask friends to each email him about the different parts he's selling and for recent pics! But I'm not, but if anyone here is...

I then got this unsolicited email from him:
"our time on the world is more important than anything.
thanks for wasting mine with your browsing and no intent to buy"

I'm starting to feel a little more vindictive...

^ +1, as Jakob mentioned the seller sounds a lot like Lopro who was banned from Rennlist. The descriptions of the items match his previous for sale items of RL before he was banned.

Swooping in for a hijack of the hijack...

Hey DOHC, I'm looking for a few black interior panels for my 993...more specifically the rear quarters and the parcel shelf. Let me now what you have!
