Whatever it is it's between Shawn and Joska. Posting innuendo and veiled threats here is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. If someone has a bitch take to court. I've bought parts and gotten tech help from Shawn for years now and he's a stand-up guy. I can't imagine him misrepresenting anything on that car as it was a perfect 10. I guess we'll get the whole story tomorrow like it or not.

I did business with Shawn, I bought wheels from him and he was OK. I'd love to hear the story on this.

Beautiful car, I hope this gets worked out...

I have a different perspective and know that he has the capacity to misrepresent for the sake of the sale.
I almost bombed on his for sale thread with the above experience. Perhaps I should have.
Anyway, I am rooting for Joska on this one!

buying parts off rennlist is sketchy at times even from people that seem too be good guys. i bought a 951 block off one guy and the car never even started before i had a cracked cylinder wall and a ruined head. PMed the guy to tell him the block he sold me for mint (850$ mint) cost me over 300$ in head work and i had to buy a whole new engine. If he offered to give me half back i would have said no but he didnt offer nathin. some people have no ethics.
this guy on the other hand i have no idea about haha

My initial contact with him was through craigslist, not Rennlist, but yeah I also bought a set of wheels from somebody else here and one of the wheels was bent. You and I are talking about less than a thousand. He was asking $29k for this car. Kind of ups the ante a bit!

I have made MANY transactions through rennlist, and i have never once had an experience short of steller. The people here are phenomenal, and whatever the OP's issue may be, i find it pretty sad when members are talking about there negative experiences with members publicly. Come on guys, its a private issue, lets keep it private.

I've personally had dealings with other Rennlister's as a buyer & seller, always great experiences.

I'm lucky I guess, all my experiences in buying from rennlisters has came off very well
Actually members are faster to ship, provide more communication, and are way more likely to "help a guy out" than any of the online stores I've bought Porsche stuff from.

I initially posted as a counter point to Steve. He has a right to speak up for BF, I have a right to state my truth as well.

A prediction, this thread is headed for the Abyss.

I mostly lurk around here anymore because I don't have the time to get involved in this type of back and forth.

Guys,
I bought the car. I am somehow from the East Coast, because I lived in NC for more than 3 years. I brought a 968 Club Sport to the US. This is why I know a lot the old good 968 guys. I was active at 968.net. My origin is German and I am a General Manager in a Hungarian automotive plant, returning back to Porsche Land this year.
Shawn shipped the car in absolute terrible condition. I was so upset that now, I want to return the deal. Pictures and details will follow, if he continues not to respond to me. How can someone do something like this, when he wants to sell a car as his own reputation? He is childish and not answering my phone calls since he received the money. He has even blocked my mail address.
Why I am taking this to the forum, is because I would like to solve it in person with him. I will continue the posting on this topic only, until he communicates again with me.
Does anyone see Shawn actually driving this car on the road? Due to the CarFax Report he has put on only 2k miles on the car since May 2005.

when i low ball its because the price is ridiculous or i don't want it what so ever. Also, since you dont know me you dont know that anyone that's near me, around me, or has met me knows that i help everyone fix anything that they ask. Alot of the stuff on the forums has been gone over hundreds of time and im gonna be the rudest dude possible for some kid asking what performance upgrades are available for the 944.
The block blew after 0 seconds of running. Like i mean i put the head on and then it cracked. i inspected it, and my buddie inspected it. it looked fine to both of us. it was a hairline crack that when we put the head on again and torqued it down again it cracked it enough so when i tried to start the car is blew. Thats a bad block. not my fault. not his fault but its deffinetly somthing he should have at least offered to make right.
Also i buy a ****load of things, there is rarly a for sale thread that i havent bought somthing from and usually the deals go down smooth. but when they dont it really sucks or turns out too be the most expencive items

Wow dude... Really? Ethics? I have seen nothing from you but **** slinging posts about how everyone and everything here sucks. Bring something useful here for once. And how in any way is it the sellers fault that you blew up your block? You bought it, its your responsibility to decide whether or not it is adequate to use.
