Kaspar signed an expensive lease, he was doomed from day #1.

Anyone have a photo of inside of Imagine Auto ? I saw photos, really nice
He had brand new dyno's and plenty of staff too.

His family must have backed him, I don't see any bank seeing his lease and then jumping to give him a loan.

So what axe do you have to grind with Stephen?

You don't slip a knife between someone's ribs like that without having a reason... you a competitor?, fired employee?, customer who got screwed?, what?

Your post really leaves a bad taste in my mouth, without some rationale for being that mean.

Update: My seats were never delivered but I finally received full credit back to my charge card. In all fairness, Stephen K. was as helpful as he could considering the situation and always responded to my emails at times with painful honesty.

I have a friend who has an IA built 996TT all the way over here, and he praises his work.. people go thru hard times

makes mistakes.. let's just leave this to the people affected hoping they get all their stuff back..

Plus, I can get a $1mil business loan without my name on it ... it's called business credit..101...LOL

I was a customer, and Stephen delivered what he promised. When he started his business, I'm sure he contemplated growth, but once everyone who wanted upgrades had them, and once the new models were found to be less upgradeable, business fell off while overhead remained fixed. His business was at the front of the tidal wave of economic failure, so before anybody gets high and mighty, you might want to be sure your next paycheck is secure. AS

Amen to that!! I have been out of work since March, with a company that I had vested 16 years into. Stephen helped me with my 930 and then my 996tt. He will be very missed and I wish him the best. (shameless plug anyone in the virginia beach area hiring and want to get another porsche nut on with you)

Sam CS 05,

Glad to hear that Stephen resolved your issue. But I don't think any of us would expect anything less. Stephen is a real class act and will be sorely missed, hopefully he will be back in short order.

Wow...

People certainly like to kick a man when he's down.

I personally know Stephen Kaspar and he has done nothing but good by his word. He has done minor work on my car and has always been very accomodating. I am local to the area. I hope all works out for everyone...
