Has anyone seen Kurt White ?

I have gaskets & seals, a few new water pumps and some misc, used parts.
Doug Rippie has quite a few LT5 parts for sale
I know where a couple of engines are that can be purchased
Collectively, the guys here on the forum can probably source anything for the ZR-1.
HANG IN THERE!!

This really sucks that you've been treated so poorly.
And to add insult to injury isn't the aforementioned person who's name I shall not mention a former citizen of the British Isles?
One would hope that a former countryman would show more respect and compassion for one of his mates, eh?
I personally have had no troubles in my dealings with this company, but to be honest, my dealings have been trivial at best.
I can't say that I like some of his pricing, but I do understand that a guy has to make a living and it is a sellers market. Never forget the Golden Rule.
He who has the gold makes the rules.

Profit yes, price gouging no.

He buys up old stock at good prices then announces there is no more even if there is and charges 50-100-150% markups During a natural disaster people who sell bottles of water for $20.00 are called price gougers, and that is exactly what he does,,,,,not to mention poor customer service on top of over inflated prices

I say to him

I definitely will hang in there, the car is a keeper. The danger is, if one person dominates with obselete parts they have you by the b*lls, and can treat you as they wish aswell as charging heavy prices. I've got the feeling of late like you are treading on egg shells when dealing with said person and are at their mercy. Perhaps a negative to owning a rare marque, I know 'business is business' but it's one aspect that really puts me off. I have no problems with U.S Companies their service always seems to be first class. Four days for an exhaust to arrive from Pheonix, Arizona, to my door in Engalnd. Great service!!

I just ordered a rear tranny seal from him last week......I hope he's still around!? All my other orders from him have been fast and without hassle.....maybe he's on vacation.

I could be mistaken but isnt the same as a T400?

[LoTu5]

There's always a vacation, how many can a man have

Deal 1.
Order a bezel and pay on April 23rd.
Wait four weeks but shoot emails to enquire where the part is
Reimbersed on May 24th. Reason; can't find part.
That's fair enough Parts can often be mislaid.

Deal 2.
Order parts to the value of $3,500 and pay for them on June 10th.
Wait five weeks and phone to ask where parts are, told problems with packing.
Wait a further 5 - 6 weeks still no parts and am ringing most weeks and leaving messages and e-mails. No reply
Notice no more ebay selling from seller, I start to feel more anxious.
Finally get email last week stating he will get back to me with shipping details on Friday. Thats 11 weeks later.
No further contact
Third credit card statement for parts drops through my door.
I've now had enough and handed the deal back to credit card company.

Have i been patient enough or is he on a three month holiday ?

[tccrab]

Lotus:

You have given him *PLENTY* of time to complete the deal.
You've been way more patient that I would have been.
I would have had someone knocking on his door......

Looks like he is m.i.a. over at CF too. Apparently the windshield supplier is hunting him.

Wonder what's up?
I can understand taking a vacation, but I draw the line at dissing customers and suppliers.

I wonder if he treats the Lambo and Ferrari guys any better?
