    wealth manager huh? but you could not manage coming up w/ more than $400 bux?

    that is laughable. let me suggest to you that you may consider looking into alternate payment vehicles so....that you can pay for your vehicle.

    i love the wharton ref...i suspect there was a week long executive class he attended. lol.

    I agree. Why not discuss this when the Porsche was picked up? He obviously never intended on paying him. Financially reasons???
    And the weak threat of suing F Chat is nauseating.

    DrJohn, the interesting thing is that when he stood at my counter to pay he had no knowledge of wether his car was properly repaired or not, so I would have to agree that this was a plan all along. Of course I should have learned my lesson in 2006 when I had difficulty getting paid for repairs on his other car. I guess I forgot.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that this is not even about $1300, but more like $900?

    Didn't Kevin pay $400?

    If so, it's really absurd.

    Kevin, a three-figure check would make this disappear. PLUS, it's the morally, ethically, and legally correct thing to do.

    If you are either (a.) stubborn, or (b.) in denial, do note that NOT paying the $900 is giving Karl so much good publicity.....

    So, either pay your bills and have this disappear, or don't pay your bills and know that your money is going to positive marketing for Karl's business (and potentially injuring your own business, but who knows? No way of knowing if Ferrari owners may be potential clients for wealth management firms.....)

    Desmo, you are correct. A bit over $900.- and life would go on as usual. Some may say if Karl's that busy what's $900-$1000 matter but at $85.- it translates into about 11hrs of labor. If I had chosen to not work for a day and a half I would have spent the day with my wife and children but in this case I didn't get either.

    His rear tires were at the end due to a bad alignment i guess and I even offered him tires at cost to help him out. I must be an idiot.

    $900 is $900...it doesn't matter if you were a millionaire! It's owed to you and you should be paid. If it was $10, it still should be paid! You own a business, not a charity.

    What if I went to Kevin for wealth management services and chose not to pay for services rendered...then complained that his advice sucked? I bet he would expect to be paid. And I bet he wouldn't keep it a private matter, but make it public by suing me. By his example, I could counter-sue him for blasting my good name in court.

    I'm always wary of people who threaten a lawsuit. I think it reflects on a persons character.

    I'm no legal expert, but the definitions of "libel" and "defamation" seem to result from use of false or untrue statements...

    I hope I don't see this thread in the future. :)

    Is that a threat? Should I sue you? Maybe I can use Kevin's attorney and get some kind of discount.

    You know I was thinking.. I'm actually impressed that a Mechanics Lien wasn't issed. ;-) Doesn't sound like it was. That alone attests to the decency of Karl's shop.

    That's what I was thinking, the car can't be legally sold until the lien is paid off with interest owed and fees.

    I can't make it this weekend - headed to Atlanta for the Porsche Mille event that a friend is organizing: http://www.themille.com/

    Happy to catch up with you guys another time, though.

    Looks like Rennlist took it down.

    This situation reminds me of when we stopped for gas at a local marina this summer. We went in to pay and saw a dishonored check for $256 displayed prominently on the counter. We knew the check writer (manager of a high line car dealership) and just shook our heads in amazement.

    Really? Your credentials include things in the future? So you are STUDYING the cfa exam but do not yet have your CFA designation?
    You aren't licensed by the SEC yet? REALLY????


    In my limited legal knowledge I thought it was actually illegal to threaten suit without following through. Sue him back for not suing you when he doesn't sue.

    Heck, that's probably just the storage bill. The repair was free! :)

    No, it's not illegal here. It is, however, poor form.
