Honestly, this.
I've bought parts from Joe before and never had any issues. He's a really nice guy and was super reasonable.
So many people on here are getting there panties in a twist about something that they read one side of on the internet and deciding to become warriors about it.
Did he potentially lie about where he got the car from, maybe. Does it matter, no. If you want the car, maybe go and meet the guy selling it, have a look at it, ask some questions and then form your opinions. Why does his ad need to be anymore than it is, if you're considering buying a Mk4 for $15k then you probably already know what you are looking at.
Also, Banana Phone, IIRC you buy and sell lots of cars here as well. So does Joe, heck so do I and many others as well. its what we do. There is a difference between curb-siding and impulse buying more VWs than what you have space for. Joe made a few good buys recently, realized he cannot drive multiple vehicles at the same time, and decided to sell off the one that he has the least attachment to, and can make some money off of. There is nothing wrong with that, thats not a scam thats real life.. You don't see his newly acquired bike, or Mk3, or Passat up for sale.
And finally, mk21.8Tjetta. I have a lot I could say, but i'll keep it short. You're not interested in his car, so why are you here? Because you've "complained about his selling methods before"? Sorry, I wasn't aware everyone had to sell their vehicles in a manner approved by yourself. You are full of loud inaccurate accusations which you spam across multiple sections of vortex as you please, generally causing a bunch of unneeded hassle for people. Unless you have relevant information to add, maybe you should step off your high horse and re-evaluate what you are saying. Your comment towards 00redrt is uncalled for and unneeded, as well as your thread in the Ontario section.
