    Warning--Chris Custon AKA 35R-A4 ripped me off

    Hey all just warning any and all of you not to do business with this person on the forum.

    He sold me a "nearly new" K04-15 with "less than 1500 miles". I found it through the classifieds. I paid almost $700 shipped. What I got was a well beat K04 with a cracked exhaust housing and a badly bent impeller blade that he tried to "fix" with a pair of pliers. What I have is a paperweight, a very expensive one.

    He won't return calls, emails, or PM's. Just letting you guys know so you don't make the same mistake.

    Update: after posting this and sending him another final PM he got in touch with me. Said he will figure a way to get my money back. So hopefully this all works out. No more used turbos for me, except from VTAudiA4.... :)

    wait Paypal didn't side with you because he misrepresented the object that was purchased.

    They said if it wasn't purchased through Ebay, there is nothing they can do, its "in the contract".

    sounds like you need to have an auto dialer harass him at random hours of the night.

    No need for all of that.

    If you used your credit card, you can file a dispute with the card issuer. If what you say is true, then the credit card issuer will refund your money back to the card and alles guten.
