Koni coilovers. Condition is unknown as the price reflects this 500 shipped. I was told they were good but, I never got a chance to install them before selling the car.

PM sent,
I'll take the coilovers

Coilovers came in, not as represented by pics...seller post pics of the one coilover that is leaking rust from the blown seal and rusted shaft. I hope seller is a stand up guy and will stand behind this, no way he did not know the situation.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1517357135.jpg

I have left PM

I have left text message

I have sent e-mail

I have left a voice mail

No response.

I made a mistake and sent fund PayPal friends and family so no way pursue an avenue for pulling funds back.

I will post here what the resolution. He has a number of parts for sale and this may be helpful for others make better choices in protecting themselves. It has been a very long time since I have had a bad experience making a purchase through a forum, I am new to this forum so maybe this is a good lesson in not trust...

He did say "condition unknown" in the listing... :confused:

You should never try to cheat PayPal by sending payments as gifts. PayPal provides a service and has a right to be compensated.
When you choose to pay for products or services with their gift option so you can save a few dollars, you lose all protection and have no one else to blame. You also bought them "condition unknown" and should have asked for more detailed pictures.

That being said, I'm sure Trendy is just busy and will get back to you when he can. ;)

Yes, bad on me for doing a F&F transfer.

I spoke with seller on the phone, he sent more pics, he described them as looking fine, he just didn't know how they worked on the car. The condition of the rusted/leaking coil over was well known by the seller...blind people can not drive cars.

IMO those pics are very misleading. :(

What year are they? Is the seller the original owner? How many miles? Koni might replace that under warranty. Just a thought. It is pretty nasty.

Maybe Koni can do a rebuild? That looks like a pretty sweet setup. For $500 (including shipping?) even with a rebuild it could still be a deal. Maybe that leak was under the bellows where it couldn't be seen?

Anyway, good luck, looks like a pretty sweet setup once you get it sorted.

Trendy996: Are you selling both rear red and clear tail lights for $220? does that include shipping?

No Bellows to hide anything, only pics taken to not show the problem. I'm seeing if there are parts anywhere to fix this, very unusual set of dampers...

Be cautious and use PayPal in such a way you have recourse, I wish I had.

Me considering whether or not to buy anything off this seller:

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1518056833.jpg

I am not the original owner. I bought them and they sat for a year almost. I sold them unknown bc I never touched them or installed them. They absolutely did not leave me like that as pictured. I’ve been selling parts for a while. I’ve sold a lot of parts that I’ve listed here with no issues and the people got what was described. The pictures I posted would been able to have not shown that bad of a leak. Plain and simple. I can only imagine that as you described the chipped chrome that messed the seal was agitated the shipping from coast to coast. Nothing was misleading. I sold these at half of what I paid bc I didn’t know their condition from not installing them.

Trendy, maybe you should get new glasses if you could not see the mess you sent me. I accept I was an idiot to trust you...live and learn.

Over a week with no response to texts, phone calls, emails or messages. The only response is the post you just made here. Not the way I deal with things, but I generally stand behind my actions so we may be at different places.

One 3text succession, one phone call, one pm in 24 hrs. No need to make it like you continued to do so. You must need glasses as well since you clearly didn’t read my response. We are different people. I don’t leave aggressive first time voicemails. Probably a reason I didn’t respond so fast.

I dont really have a dog in this fight. I've only been watching it because I was interested in your taillights. Then I saw his posts and thought I'd follow the thread and see what happened.
I'm sure if you were the one out $500 you be a little more "aggressive" too. That's a pretty lame excuse for not getting back with an explanation. You saw his posts about the problem with his purchase during the last week, or at least you logged into the forum multiple time since then. Just click on a posters name and it tells when you last logged in. I cant imagine you logged in and didn't check your ad. I've bought several parts on this forum for more than he spent and never had a problem. I appreciate Titaniumdave posting his problems he's had with you. Glad it wasn't me.

Oh and the rusting during shipping is a stretch too. :rolleyes:

Ya I didn’t claim it rusted in shipping. What I simply said was his reasoning as to how a seal was punctured. I thought you said you’ve been following it all? Clearly not. I’m aware you can see when people logged in. I’ve been on car forums since I’ve been 17 and nothing has changed how they operate. Should I have everyone I’ve ever dealt with on here to chime in here?

I clearly listed them with a warning. At the time they left me they did not appear that way. Not sure how I could have been anymore clear.

Clear would have been listing 3 coilovers for sale, not 4. Or listed as parts.

So, at least you did get all of my messages. It would have been helpful to have you respond to ANY of them rather than waiting over a week and only chiming in on this thread. Here is how things went down:

I paid on Jan 10th.

You said you would ship ASAP. No tracking sent.

I text you on Jan 17th to ask for the tracking info, you printed the shipping label that day.

Parts arrived Jan 30 and I sent you a text with pic, left a VM. Sent PM, sent email...

Posted Jan 31 on this thread since you would not respond to other attempts for contact.

I see, you cut the price in half because you are a super nice guy, not because you knew there was a problem.

I try to think what this would feel like on the receiving end, that is how we are different.

If you got a box of parts, they only shipped after you had to bug the seller, when you opened the poorly wrapped box that had parts poking out and one of the parts is leaking oil enough to stain the box...how would you respond?

Just me, but I'd say trendy should take the parts back (obviously with refund) and shipping back and forth should be on titanium dave.

I'm interested in your Fabspeed exhaust.

Is it just the mufflers or does it include the inlet pipes/mid-pipes too?

Also given the chatter on this post how is the condition? Did you have it installed and using it on your car? Any rusts, dents, leaks, or other damage???

Interesting thread on the 996 forum:

https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-marketplace/1049943-buyer-beware-of-trendy996.html

Thanks for sharing...definitely will NOT be buying from him.

dang.... I'm a little worried now.

I purchased his custom intake setup using a 997 IPD plenum/ 997 Throttle Body. I haven't got the chance to install it yet, but he claims it's just a drop in upgrade.

Hope all will be fine, buying used parts has never been an issue for me.

Where is the "eating popcorn" imogi?

I see a name change coming.

I sent you plenty of pictures of it installed on the car so you know it fits. I won’t be changing my name for anyone wondering.

With your proud reputation and stellar history, why would you? Keep on keepin' on!:barf:

He actually does have a very good reputation here and on other forums. Your experience seems to be a fluke. I think keeping things civil (both of you) would yield better results.
In the future, pay the PayPal fees. Trying to save a few dollars will come back to bite you sooner or later. ;)

Just a drag he won't stand behind what he has sold, or respond to voice mails, or respond to text, or respond to messages, or respond to emails...this post was the last resort to get a response. Glad this is a fluke, I never like to air my dirty laundry in public but when the seller won't answer I don't know what else to do but warn others. This may be a fluke for this forum, ALL of my dealings with trendy have been bad, product misrepresented and no follow up communication once payment was made. Cavaet emptor...

Another fluke:https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-marketplace/1049943-buyer-beware-of-trendy996.html

Titaniumdave,

I live about 7 miles from KONI NA headquarters.

If there is anything I can do to help, I’d be glad to.

Quit using plural tense like you try to continue to contact me. I stand behind what I describe. They didn’t leave my hands looking like that that’s for sure. If I was selling coilovers I got to run on the car before I sold it they would have been 1500. Instead I mentioned that and the fact I couldn’t contest to their condition. Not sure what other details I needed to add.
You can read that link as well. Someone wanted to return something that I told him to do but received my new exhaust back powder coated. Bc you have someone acting like a kid in a grown mans body adds to a point?

Thanks for the offer, it turns out these are not Koni coilovers, they were made by Sachs. Not sure there is a reason to do anything with these, trendy said they are adjustable for damping but the 'adjusters' he said he could turn appear to be fixed bolts, that do not move...just another lie. I did find a Sachs rebuilder and will call them tomorrow...sigh...

Needed to add pics showing the mess you sent me...these did not rust in shipping. You said there are adjusters you turned, none of the bolts turn. Contact me off this thread if you want to stand behind these...you have yet to make any contact with me and you have all my information.

Hmmmm, hello kettle...
