Andy House here with performance auto, I am wondering if anyone know how I can get a hold of Mr. XVipers, AKA Michael? I sent him $21,000.00 for some 09 ACR Viper parts over 4 months ago, after three months he sent me half the parts. Once we busted the crate open I called him as well as my customer and he assured us that they would be here by last Friday. Guess what...no parts and he's not answering our phone calls again!:dunno:

PLEASE HELP ME GET MY MONEY OR PARTS!!!!:crazy2::eater:

Start by calling to cops in his area. Also follow up with calling some lawyers. It will be a hard slog, good luck with getting anything from him.

Is this the black ACR he has posted on his web site that he is parting out? Maybe he is waiting for a better offer then you will get a refund.


I'm sure someone will chime in here saying he is on an over seas trip or just very busy.:dunno: Seems to be the MO.:rolaugh:

The problem is that "he" is not EVER on here. He has really nothing to do with this or any other Viper site. The business is called "X" Vipers... but he does many other things and is not a die hard Viper guy really. You can complain all you want, but chances are he will not care, and he will not ever hear about it through a Viper site.

I try and contact him for people, but even I cannot always get a hold of him any better and I'm not even waiting on something... Sorry you are having a tough time, I know it would have cost you a LOT more to buy from someone like me, but you can always get a hold of "me".

Imagine that ANOTHER XVIPERS thread. Starting to wonder who has more viper horror stories attached to his name him or Hennessey Still amazes me even with all the bad word of mouth of those two they continue to keep getting more customers.

No.. No..:nono: Mr. 24 post, 3 year.... "Enthusiast"......:smirk:

I am not going to "save the day"..:rolleyes:. Not at all.....

I had a long talk with "Plum" about this very subject. There's a lot written in here about this subject.

Make your own conclusions from that.....:dunno:

I will NOT get involved in this again...No win for me...:crazy2:

Have a nice day.....:)

LOL I was thinking the same thing but was trying to figure a way of putting it more eloquently.

I only buy from the good rep guys. JonB, Larry Macedo, Sean Roe and they know where to get stuff that they don't carry.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Not sure how you paid, but I filed a dispute with my credit card company over a small dollar amount of parts "ordered and never received" from this company and received a reimbursement. Maybe try that route. On a side note, I've had very positive interactions with JonB at the Parts Rack. He has been quite open to answering my questions, even before I ever spent a dollar with him.

Credit cars have a time limit on contesting payment. After 6 months I'm sure that won't work.

I've read posts on this guy in the past. I do think it would be helpful to have a section called "Buyer Beware". This way, anyone thinking of working with/buying from a particular person/vendor who is not reputable would know ahead of time. If, then, they still do business with one of those listed, it would certainly be their fault.:nono:

Clearly, this would have to be okay from a legal standpoint - slander issues - so VCA doesn't accidentally incur any liability problems.

Makes more sense then calling for a person/vendor being banned, but is never banned.

JMHO.

Actually you missed the reverse side of your suggested possible "slander" issue, that being the VCA maintaining a public list (section) of "Buyer Beware" vendors.

In effect, we already do have such a section ... you get there by clicking "Search" on the menu bar.

do a search for those guys too. same answer...... BUYER BEWARE !!!

SVS is trouble and i believe long gone

There was a thread on selling all their stock and parts wasn't there?

I bid on a Venom that had an SVS stroker motor that wouldn't idle once it warmed up. Running so rich that it stalled when warm the idiot owner already had over 400 break-in miles on it and was telling me on the phone about how well it handled at 150mph that day? Obviously I wouldn't buy a car with an engine that wouldn't run and break-in period was over 150mph on public roads in florida. In other words some of their customers are stupid too.

I know I don't post on here much but that may say something for me coming forward now. Jon B at Parts Rack is an honest straight forward guy that can handle just about any request you can send him. And also provides the best price and service!
