Don Bower Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 This jackass advertised on Facebook Messenger that he was parting a 2002. I contacted him, said he had what I needed, I sent him the money, he disappeared. He required me to do payment through Skrill. The name he used on Messenger was "Rock Mathew." His email address (if real) is agustinmiguela@live.com.ar. Buyer beware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2002Scoob Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Rule #1 to not getting scammed- ONLY pay via known, insured, and secured payment methods. Anybody not OK with a PayPal goods/services payment, or meeting up for a cash payment/swap for actual parts is 99.99% guaranteed a scammer. If they claim they don't want to pay the small PayPal fees as a reason for not using it (or request Friends and Family payment) offer to add that extra percentage into your paid price. If they still refuse. 100% a scammer. Chances are if dude knows what he's doing, he's taken your (and likely a handful of other's) money and already burned his fake emails/names/etc you're sharing, and created new ones for the next grift. Sorry to hear. Stay vigilant. Humans suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exterior, aluminum trim piece running the length of the "longitudinals" (Porsche vernacular) is surrounded by 4 vinyl gaskets -- long ones on top and bottom, and very short, gray ones on the vertical leading and trailing edges. About 2 inches long. Usually lost whenever that trim is removed. I need all 4 of the short ones (2 left and 2 right, but they're all the same). BMW sells only sets for the whole trim piece at >$100. I'm not that delusional. Yet. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
