Did you ask him about that? Funny how he revised it to a 92, so I am guessing someone called him out on it. Does seem a bit shady to me for a guy that suppossibly knows his stuff and owns a shop...

This is all pretty funny too. The one time i spoke with Vince, he flaunted about his quality work nonstop despite his high prices for labor.
He said despite not being on 3si and visiting the local crowds (which i would think is a terrible business decision), he says he is constantly busy with high dollar upgrades from across the country. He says he's tired of the immaturity on 3si and locally.

Interesting stuff, i might say. To be honest though, im not too surprised.

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.

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!
