Anyone ever buy anything from these guys on ebay? I'm in need of a new rack for sure and possibly a new power steering pump. They offer both with a 6 month warrenty on used powersteering pumps and racks. Anyone buy ether from these guys? Any problems? Any stories (good or bad)?

They are local to me and I've bought a few things from them. They are at best meh. Their prices on some things are really bad, but they are convenient and usually have what I'm looking for available with short notice. I bought a rear axle from them before and it was a disaster when my wife brought it home. Dirty, leaking grease, and the threads were completely smashed. I took it back and exchanged it for one that looked brand new. It's really hit and miss.
Most of the guys that work there don't really seem to give a shit.

Dont buy from them, From my personal experience. IT FUCKIN SUCKED!! Worst 6 months ever trying to get my money back. If you want to find out the goodies on them search in the feedback on Bimmerforums.

I'm amazed to find a place that acutally gives a shit these days. No one has any pride in their job. It's a just a pay check to them.

I often wondered about this place, too. Thanks for the feedback...and the warning.

I'm on the east coast so I would definitely not be fun trying to return something.

I've bought a few things from them, but I am local and able to check the part before paying.

I bought an m20 from them and had it shipped to Washington from California. It was fairly cheap too, and it runs good.

I bought a lower late model front metal valance from them, it was sort of expensive for shipping, but it came well packed for the trip.

Front end of the story, at first they mailed just the plastic lip spoiler, rather than the valance. I called them, they acknowledged the mistake and sent the proper part. They said to just keep the lip spoiler.

I agree that there are stories that are true about them, but also realize that Jesus giving away $100 bills couldn't make some of the whiners on internet forums happy.

I bought a radiator from them. Sent me one with a hole in it and they said it had been pressure tested...ya right! Then they sent me a different one and it was the wrong radiator for my car. I ended up just buying a new one and they eventually gave me back my money. It was still a PITA!

ive always heard bad things about them..
