EBAY ID's spacarelv & rsx400hp Stay AWAY!!

Here are some recent complaints


1)I bought an engine from Superior Private Auto Care, which was stated as being from a 93 Stealth RT/TT. What I received was an engine from a 91 RT/TT. There is a huge difference. Vince is trying to play dumb, like he didn't know. From what I've read this guy does a lot of work on 3S cars. He even stripped a couple of cams out of it to use elsewhere, which was fine I knew that going in. But, you can't tell me that a guy that has one of the fastest 3S's doesn't know what he's got. I think he truelly misrepresented the engine and is playing dumb. What should I do? Is there anyone that can go rough him up for me?



2) STAY AWAY FROM VINCE.

This guy sold me a 92 tt back in June. It was stated as having no known problems with good body condition. After having it shipped across the country, I pick it up. Right away the rear taillights do not work. (great for a 200 mile drive home.) 1 mile down the road shifter linkage broke-could be coincidence I guess. A/C also went out an hour later.

Anyways, the car needs a tranny bad and it is missing the hoses for windshield washer operation. Rear wiper, ecs, dome light & power seat did not function. I also get the car with a salvage title, another nice surprise.

The car was repainted, horribly. Paint is cracking and peeling on roof. Rear quarter panel appears to have acid dripped on it. There were other issues but it is honestly too much to remember ATM.

After over a month of contact with him and him saying he will help with parts, etc. Nothing ever came of it. I was willing to ship it back to him after the first week if he just gave me the purchase price back--no go--he didn't have the money??

In the end it wasn't worth going to court. Vegas-wisconsin lawsuit over a 6000 car? So 2 months pass and I leave neg feedback on ebay and of course I receive the same. I guess paying in full in less than 3 days deserves neg feedback.

He also has a wife/friend on ebay that he uses as a reserve. If something isn't selling high enough he has the id bid and win the item (id=rsx400hp) Overall a shady character... beware.

Be glad you won't lose 5k on the deal like me. (Have 8k invested with original price/shipping/parts into it and can't get an offer over 3k.) At least the tt makes a good ornament for my driveway!

3) check out his listing for the 93 VR4 rotating assembly. Like the cast crank? Yeah right it's from a 93. (Upon hearing that he had been called out he promptly changes the year in his ad)

4)Vince is a ****. He has ripped off alot of people here, in Vegas anyways. Not alot of good things to say about him. He has a very nice shop, but everyone that has done business w/ him, has lost $. I've seen some of his work, blown up, N/A conversions because of just bad work and tunning. Other people can tell you of his great work


5) Keep your $ and stay away. Also Vegas has alot of shady shops, alot of here today and gone by tommorow shops. Vince is a very good salesman, but most of the work is done by other people he has hired.
