For those of you that live within driving distance of him. It is best to just go to his shop to get your parts. And for those of you who don't, just be patient. Joe is a good guy, he just gets busy.PNW CREW

Joe is a very reputable seller. He is also very busy because he is dealing with tons of people at the same time, but he will follow through. Sometimes it takes longer cause he is either working alone or with a super small staff (why you can get such cheap parts). I have seen Joe do extra things to help guys out time after time. Most guys wouldn't take a deposit and allow payments....apparently Joe did. If you want the part, pay for the rest of it. I promise he will follow through.sigpic

^ Yup. Two A+ transactions with Joe. I received a part from him that was bad. We got on the phone, he went out of his way to send me a good one, (pulled off of his own running car) before he received the bad one, for my inconveniance. Good seller.
Like others said.. You put a deposit on something, you dont get your money back. This is common knowledge. I personally dont think I would have the balls to ask for my money back, after tying up a potential sale to someone else for so long.. It sounds like he was trying to do you a favor. Now he gets thrown under the bus. This is what happens when you're too nice.-Jay

Buyer: ME
Seller: Autobahn Sport- Joe Funk
Item: MTECHII KIT
Transaction: A+++++++++++, well packed, Quick Fedex ground delivery. Items better than described.
I have purchased tons of e30 and e34 parts from Joe, and everytime the transactions were greeeeeaat!!. I believe Portland had a huge snow problem during that time that everyone had issues with Joe. If you are snowed in, your employees get sick, Fedex & UPS both say they cannot deliver on time... SHIT happens - your hands are tied. Joe has been a great person to deal with and comes thru everytime.

"Joe allowed me to put down a deposit on the airdam because I told him I would have the money in a few weeks."[QUOTE]
I dont know of any other BMW wrecking house that will take a deposit on a hard to find item and then wait for $$ in payments. I know that if when I sell something here, and you leave a depost then back out... your deposit is history.- That's the normal way of doing business.

If you would read my post more closely you may find out some very fine details. Im not trying to get my deposit back until he sells his piece, by updating his thread which he has not done yet. Im not holding him back from selling the piece any longer. And who here would honestly pay someone this kind of money after zero contact for several weeks. Im not saying he is not an honest seller, and Im done arguing. Simply my point.sigpic

I think what this ultimately boils down to is one simple point. If you don't have the money to buy it, you cannot afford it...
Payment plans? Give me a break, nobody should even consider offering one to somebody, its called a damn credit card and if you are responsible it can be a very useful tool for situations like this.

So far, I have heard nothing from Joe after sending my $150 for a set of U.S. Ellipsoids about a week ago. I HAD been talking to him about them on a daily basis and the day I send the money order was the day he stopped answering back. I have sent multiple PM's asking him for a confirmation of my order and STILL nothing. Please share your previous experiences with Joe from Autobahn Sports...'91 Brilliantrot 318iS - Sold
