FYI

I'm posting my experience with Vic from ZSImports.  Decide for yourself.

Text from ad in ubidzmall (which I'm told Vic owns but doesn't disclose, at
least in the ad):

1990 T3 Transporter

Double Cab, rebuilt 1.6 liter Turbo-Diesel, new clutch,  Orange, 6-seater,
4-speed, factory Westfalia heavy-duty tow hitch, runs great, daily driver,
AS-IS Unrestored !!!!!

--------------------
My email to him: (phone calls were not answered)

Vic

I'm interested in the 1990 TRANSPORTER DOUBLE CAB TURBO-DIESEL you advertise
with ubidzmall.

But I have questions:

It's been advertised a bunch of times before, and the price seems okay.  Why
isn't it gone?  I've seen people bid on it.  Is there something wrong with
it that isn't visible (rust, leaks)

Your ad says that the engine is rebuilt.  Who rebuilt it?  How many miles
ago?  What did the rebuild include?

How many miles on the vehicle?

Title and registration okay?  I assume it's Nevada?

No response, so I sent the same email again.

Still no response

--------------------
My email to the "vanagon" and "Syncro" lists:

Anybody have experience with an outfit near Las Vegas called ZSImports?  Guy
named Vic?

They put stuff on ubidzmall (auction) at what appear to be good prices, but
then I see (some of) the same stuff again and again, suggesting that they
are holding out for higher prices than the minimum bid listed.  I have
called and emailed with questions about items I'm thinking of bidding on,
and never gotten a response.

It seems a little fishy to me.

Raymond

--------------------
Vic's response to my post on the list, which came within hours (to my
private email):

But it's fishy? Why interested?

--------------------
My as yet unanswered response to Vic:

Exactly as I said in my email to the vanagon list.  You list things on ubidz
and don't sell them.  You haven't answered my previous emails nor telephone
calls.

Is this thing for sale?  Can you answer my questions?

Raymond

THE END (AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED)
