If it helps, I have a 2001 year 10-bolt axle, 3 channel, 3:42 gears. really low miles(from Cleveland PAP) not sure which diff is in it, but I can look.

I'm just beginning to part out a 1994 Camaro built to all LS1 specs. I'm in Ohio so you could check it out in person, and/or drive the car before buying the rear.

best wishes for coming to a conclusion on this sale.

 

Yes, I will be posting up everything if this doesn't get resolved. I am giving him time to get back with me first.


I appreciate it and will keep it in mind, but am really needing something with 3.73s or lower in it.

Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes, guys.

 

Well, I figured I would update you all on the latest with mario89.

Mario actually called me on Wednesday, September 5th. He told me that it was a rearend from someone he knew that was upgrading to a 9 inch. He bought the rear and was given the information about the rear by his friend (3.73s, new eaton posi, 3 channel) and posted what he was told. He didn't bother popping the cover to check. Obviously, the information was wrong. He still claimed it was rebuilt by Speed Inc, however, and gave me the name of the guy who supposedly had it rebuilt. I called Speed Inc and they had no record of it being rebuilt by the person. I called Mario back and told him the rear needed to be returned and the money refunded--shipping included. He didn't want to take the rear back or give me my shipping money back. Instead he told me if I sold it for what I could get for it, he would give me the difference for the money I had originally spent on the rear ($385), minus the shipping (which was another $88). I told him this wasn't the right way to handle things--he described a part incorrectly and needed to make it right. He went on to tell me it was partially my fault! He said I should've asked him more questions about it and confirmed all the information on the rear before buying. Really!!??? So, I always need to assume everyone who sells me something is lying about everything?? Anyway, I was not happy with his offer and told him I would think about it and call him back. I PM'd the mods to update them and spent a couple days thinking about other options and waiting to hear back from the mods. I called him back on Sunday, Sept 9th to tell him I wasn't going to accept his offer, but had a couple other solutions. I couldn't get a hold of him, so I left him a message telling him to call me back when he could. I also texted the same to him. He replied back with a couple texts, telling me I had waited too long and he was too busy but that he would call me back that week some time. I waited all week. Nothing. I called, left a message, and texted him again the next Sunday, Sept. 16th. Nothing. I waited almost another week and called him again Saturday night, Sept. 22nd. Nothing. I haven't heard anything from this guy for 2 1/2 weeks, and he hasn't given me ANY kind of fair resolution.

I have been MORE than patient and reasonable. I have always attempted multiple times to reach Mario in private before posting anything up in public. I am in the right, and have given Mario plenty of opportunities to make this right. He has blamed me for part of this and has avoided my attempts to reach him.

Mario: WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?? TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MISTAKE!! I have given you the benefit of the doubt this whole time, thinking you might have been mistaken about the rear yourself. According to your description of being told the info from your friend, I was correct, but I was also believing you would do what was right and refund the rear when you found out the rear's condition. I was obviously giving you too much credit. I will not allow you to take advantage for my shipping costs and get me to sell your rear for you.

To anyone reading this: STAY AWAY FROM MARIO89! Do not ignore the many on here who know his reputation and can vouch for his shadiness. Don't buy his crap. It's not worth whatever part you need or whatever deal he may be offering.

 

Small claims court. Problem solved.

 

Mario89 is no longer a member.

 

bout damn time!

 

Sadly booting mario89 solves very little. He could come back as mario90 and start ripping people off all over again.

 

Perma ban IP address.

 

I've waited two years to read that

Well done mods, protect us poor car guys

 

Finally a mod that has done something to help tech,thank you from all of us,op i hate to say it but small claims court is going to be your only option,or take a long ride and chuck that rear threw the ******** back hatch,the guy is trash ,he didnt wanna do paypal because it was a easier way to put the shaft to you,i find it funny that it was his rearend that was just rebuilt blah,blah,blah then oh well its my buddys,sorry to hear about what happend if he was in my area i would try and help ya get things solved,this ******* should have been banned the second time this happend,no offense to some of the mods but a few of them spend most of there time screwing around with members that do nothing but help people vs not doing anything about members that are a real issue,i hope you come out of this with your money back at least

 

ditto,

 

Thank you, Moderators. I really appreciate your willingness to draw the line here. I've learned a lot through this experience and hope it never happens again.

 

Sorry to hear about things like this!

 

Yeah, the thing about small claims court is that people in general, especially white trash garbage like this mario guy, are so intimidated by it that even providing documentation that you've started the process is enough to make them come clean. People like this generally have priors, are worried about their past coming to light, all sorts of things that probably wouldn't actually happen of course but they are too stupid to know better. Best of luck whatever you do

 

It's jackholes like this that make me scared to buy anything from people on forums. The last item I bought from here I drove two hours to pick it up just to make sure I wasn't getting ripped. 99% of people on the forums are good.... but then there are the Mario98s out there.

I wish you luck with resolving this, and if you ever are on your way to visit "Mario" swing through Toledo, I'll ride with ya. People like this **** me off, and I'd love to help ya chuck that 10 bolt through his rear hatch!

 

This is why the moment someone mentions they don't use Paypal you kindly
