Watch out for this guy (UPDATE)
I hate doing this especially when someone puts me in this position.
I recently purchased a 944 Turbo from a Pelican Parts long-time lister, Don Adkins of Denver Colorado (uses VIPRKLR as a screen name on this BBS) and unfortunately, he has skipped town with the car and he will not return my phone calls or e-mails. I purchased the car from him a month ago but one hassle after another, with delays and false statements to me, his mechanic and his friends has resulted in me losing out on some hard earned cash.
If anyone knows of this individual and is in contact with him, I request your help in seeing this matter through. I seek only the return of my funds but alas, I feel that I have been taken. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Thanks to all who have offered assistance and those who were able to contact the gentleman for me. Apparently Rennlist and the Pelican Parts BBS does indeed have an effect on situations such as this.
He has indeed contacted me but I now hear that the car was "damaged" while at his mechanics and he took the car to have it "repaired". This AFTER I had paid for the car, yet no word came from him. I am trying to seek a return of my money but only time will tell.
It seems he is trying to make me the bad person in all of this, but with hope and faith, perhaps he will honor my request. We'll see.
If he does make amends I will post that he has done so. Thanks again for the support and advice!

Thanks for all the help!
I have been contacted by the owner of the car and he has agreed to refund my money.
I promised him that I would post that he haas agreed to refund all of my money and will follow up here once the funds actually arrive. Rennlist and it's members have been of great help to me in this. For now, I request no more e-mails sent to this gentleman. Thanks!
This has been a difficult and confusing situation for me and I hope that it will end well for both of us.

Amazing how that works. Bad rep on the boards does wonders for improving a sellers disposition,
. . . but let's not make a habit of it. In this case it sounded justified.

Here is an update on this continnuing saga
First off, for those on the list who decided I was the unreasonable one and blasted me for actually having the nerve to expect delivery of a car (1986 944 turbo) I paid the full purchase price for, you were sadly mistaken.
Unfortunatley, it has now been a month since I posted (and going on 3 months since buying the car) that Mr. Don Adkins from Denver Colorado had agreed to refund my money. THe car was never made available to me even after three attempts to collect it after I had paid and then the car simply evaporated. Shortly after he agreed to refund my money, he then evaporated and I have lost complete contact with him.
I request assistance from anyone on Rennlist to keep an eye out for the car (1986 Black 944 Turbo, VIN # WP0AA0955GN156399) and let me know if/when it resurfaces for sale. After the posts I really do not expect him to show up on Rennlist or Pelican Parts BBS again, but you never know.
For those of you who supported me when I first made this problem known, I appreciate your help. It is too bad that some people put others into this kind of situation knowingly.
