Default bad experience with XSSIVE

About 2 months ago bought a TB from him. I told him after I have received the merchandise that it wasn't going to work on my 2000 T/A WS6. His reply to me was that I didnt know what I was talking about LOL. I just wanted my money back, and I would have send the TB back to him. Well he never replied to my e-mail, and I never got my money back.

Just dont want anyone else to get screwed. So beware !!!! I just wish people would stop screwing people over....MY .02 cents

Thanks...

The throttle cam is different between the years. It won't allow the throttle to open all the way. The Tb is for 98-99 and my car is a 2000. I guess he wasn't aware of the difference neither was I. But that is beside the point. I just wanted my money back since it wasn't going to work.

NO thats not besides the point. I told you what year the tb was off of, and its works flawlessly. It is not my fault that it supposedly doesnt work on your setup even though tb's are interchangeable between years!

Clear this up...you bought a perfect tb that works and looks just as pictured in the classified ad.

Im sorry, but this is completely rediculous. Posting poor seller feedback because I wont give you a refund on a part that you bought that supposedly doesnt fit. If there was issue with the tb between different model years, thats your job to figure out, not mine. The year of the tb was clearly communicated through PM's.


Bottom line is you got the TB pictured in the original ad exactly as it was described. I upheld my end of the deal!
