Boy, these guys are a real piece of work! As some of you have read in my 5.7 Hemi into 70 Barracuda thread in the Engines forum, XV has had my money for a 4 bbl intake for over 4 months now and I still don't know when I'll get the intake. On a whim I did a search for hemi intakes at Ebay and lo and behold up pops an auction for XV"s intake by XV showing 9 available! They had their phone number listed in case of any questions, so I called them. Here's the conversation;
Me; I'm calling about the 5.7 hemi intake auction you are running on Ebay.
XV guy; Yes, what can I do for you.
Me; Do you have the manifold in stock?
XV guy; Not right now we don't.
Me; Your auction shows 9 available!
XV guy; Actually, that should have been changed. We ran out of them about a week or so ago. We have some more on order from the foundry.
Me; When do you expect them?
XV guy; We should be getting them in 4 to 5 weeks.
Me; Okay, thank you.
What is it with these people? Either they have been lying to me for 4 months, or they are running Ebay Buy-it-now auctions for a product that they don't even have and are misleading ebayers! Either way, their business ethics certainly leave a lot to be desired!
