Just some warnings about illegal grey market car importer Import Angels

Looks like 5-6 bought cars and paid for a title too. Which is really stupid of them, but it appears he takes the money and then when the titles fail to appear just says it's another guys job and that he's out of it.

I believe he goes by boobays on here, but he is just another dude slinging the Kims cars using Florida loop holes. Anyhow just fair warning because not only are the cars grey market, you may be scammed too.

I can't view the threads, But I was just talking to two different people this past week in the PA area that I was considering dropping $30k cash for an r34. I guess i'm glad I seen your post first. I just bought a few other cars and was going to give it another few days/week before i got ahold of them to see which one I wanted to spend the money with.....

EDIT: That nick is one of the people I spoke too. Found his number online a week ago. wanted one the same day but none left at the time. said it would hafto be brought over.

I'm honestly not sure if that was his name. I bought it off someone on this forum, Who I believe traded maxmumboom for another car, For that one. I then bought it off the person on this forum. I spoke to that other person one time before, But he went by 'johnny blaze'.

Yeah just seems weird, he goes by Alex meets at a storage lockers or public places, and uses a ton of Aliases online. Seems like noone knows his last name, which is weird.. Would like to see these guys who are getting burned and stuck with titleless some resolution.

I dont think they can do much legally because they're buying gray market vehicles. I'd love to see a resolution to all of this though.

his username on SupraForums is lextc but he was banned there, not sure why. Pretty sure he had another username on there before that which was also banned.

You probably already know this but a quick search pulled up the following info:

adaptiveod@gmail.com sometimes written as: a d a p t i v e O D @ G m a i l . c o m

267 . 407 . 7531

Or a 25 year old import. That makes things a lot easier too. Don't get me wrong, I would love to own a S15, it is one of my favorite cars, but it just doesn't seem like it is worth the headache.

I think I would much rather have a 200ZR or a 300ZR though, simply because Z31s are my favorite Nissans and because of their age it would be easy to get the paper work done on one of them.

Buy a us and convert. In the end it'll be just as much to get something legal

My friend and I almost bought cars from him on separate occasions. Both were RHD RX-7s. Thanks for the post.

Maximum boom is John. Different guy.

The above guy referenced is a prick. Nick from elitejdm, along with myself and alot of others have gone at it with him. Slings R rated cars, uses images of other peoples **** and claims he owns them. Makes promises and when he can't deliver puts it on someone else.

He will get what's coming to him sooner than later. Karma's a bitch.

Luckily I havent run into him.

P.S. -OuttoWin- He's from the Philly area not a NJ guy. Otherwise it would make it easier for me to bump into him.

This is really good information that should be shared over all car forums where people may consider cars. As I said, This thread literally saved me $30k this month that I apparently would have wasted. Looks like c7scayman almost bought two cars aswell. Between the three cars that would have been almost $100k he'd have got I'm sure!
