Lets see how I can put this without sounding rash..A couple years ago I was looking for a Factory Turbo Tail in Excellent condition. Their web site said they had one in stock. I called to confirm that it had no cracks in it, we know how the top screen area cracks on these. I told them I would have to drive a distance and did not want to waste my time on cracked tail, they stated no cracks at all.

I drove down, about a 2.5 hour one way trip, to find out their mint tail had about a half dozen cracks in it in the area I was concerned about. Tail was useless to me as the one I was going to replace only had two.

Not wanting to waste a trip I asked about a Cruise Control cable for my car. Every one was hooked to a servo, which I did not mind also buying if cable was good....But every cable he showed me, about a dozen, had the end where it connected to the throttle was broken, snapped, or just plain missing..

So I wasted a tank of gas, a days time, and some good drinking hours with nothing to show but a lesson learned. They were very polite and apologized for the inconvenience but that did not change the situation..

I am glad some have had good transactions with them, but I only get fooled once.
