I traded a 2000 Mercedes Benz S430 plus 3k for a 93 FD with John Bachelor from Murphreesboro TN. I drove to Memphis from West Texas to trade. He told me the car had all kinds of mods to include a street port and 99 spec turbos. To make a long story short. I took the car apart to find out that the porting wasnt done and the turbos were stock. The engine was leaking oil everywhere along with the turbos. When I called him he told me that he was a supra guy and didnt know that the car didnt have all this stuff. He was going off of the guys word when he traded for this car. That sounded real and since I fell victim to this also I gave him a chance to make it up to me and he said he would by giving me a totalled car with a built motor/single set up. I agreed that would make it right. He then tells me that he needs $225 which would be half of what it would cost to ship the totalled car to me. I agreed to it and wired him the money. That was Jan 15 and I havent recieved any car I have sent him multiple text messages and called his phone, but he will not answer. Not only do I feel like he took me for the $225 but also the 3k that I gave boot on top of my trade to make up for the performance mods on the FD. He may or may not be a member on here, but if any of you have any future dealings with him be aware. I made the mistake of trusting this guys word.

 

I posted a thread in the SE section asking if any of our tennessee members have any info.

 

I dont know him but if you can give me some info we have friends that are well connected in the Murfreesboro area and probably can get some info on him.
