There was a shonky guy on here a week or two ago asking for a evaluation on a 325ix it was white and he wanted something like 2200 for it, he was exposed for being a shonk and a zoner had got a car off him previously and it blew a radiator soon after purchase. He had a profile name of shark something or other. I was searching for the thread but could not find it...

Who did you by the car off???

I hate to hear tales of folk getting ripped off.. we are all so passionate about our cars and strangely protective of other e30 owners whom we have never met.. Name and Shame I say :evil:

Yep thats the car....... But the post you posted is not the post im talking about.... Thesharkfactor was asking for a evaluation on a 325ix and went on in great detail describing the car and that he has been searching for a car like this for years... Its near concourse, polished behind bumpers and ect ect ect.....

It has definatly been removed and I cant blame him he got flamed real bad for selling dodgy cars...

I would be super carefull mate, not saying its a dodgy car. Because it does look very very good and I would like it myself, I just remember what went on the other week as it made very funny reading and I hate seeing people getting done over. As a fellow E30 enthusiest I fellits my duty to tell you what was said...

Might be worth while mentioning the thread to him and tell him your nervous about picking it up now.

Just be bloody carefull

yeah it is definatly the one and he has been informed about it... Would be good if the other Zoner who got ripped off could see this current post and help him out...

Anyway he knows of the issue now and will go right over the car before he accepts it.

i am no conman. the other zoner da4x4turbo was NOT ripped off. he was unhappy he had to wait ages for paperwork..he was inporting the car to ireland. it screwed him up abit waiting for papers..he couldn't sell the car because of this. thats why he's annoyed.
if his car was overheating and knackered, it wouldn' have driven him from scotland to cork, south of ireland would it?

he left very damaging feedbck on my ebay account too. it is da4x4turbo aka, feemers_inc on ebay, aka sean feehan who a trouble maker.

he won a mercedes on ebay, arranged to meet me miles away at a train station, kept me waiting, saying the train was late, there was someone walking on the track...he was never on the train. he told me lies all day, wasted my time and money.
then he leaves very nasty feedback for the item he never saw on my ebay account.. twice!

his behaviour has been deplorable throughout. im finding it difficult to undo the damage he's done... all be cause he waited for paperwork..!

the buyer of this 325ix has nothing to worry about. wait and see.
