There is a west coast seller in our classifieds that has been in contact with me on parts.
Sebring66 listed as a lurker. Company Carrera Parts does not do Paypal. Can anyone vouch for this guy and company? Thanks John |

I bought a muffler from them; there was a bit of delay of two weeks, because they were shipping multiple used mufflers at one time. I was a bit nervous about giving my credit card and thought it to be a bit shady. They sent me a PDF of the invoice, not a hard copy. Its a legitimate business, but I think they have a learning curve. I think its a three or four man operation. Earlier this year I sent a query for sway bar bolts and the owner called me directly and told me it was expensive and they had them. Good follow through on queries IMO. In all, this business does not know the market and overprices. Would I buy again from them? More than 50% likely if I really needed the item. They were listing high prices and I offered less, but they politely declined my offer.
