Potential bogus RS192 exhausts for sale on Facebook - Buyer beware

[mrbroons]

Just a quick post to say that someone on Facebook is selling RS192 exhausts for £200 each due to water damage, great deal, however not sure it is legit, the FB page will be updated here -

Just a heads up in case you see it and are tempted, buyer beware, may be legit but vendor has not offered any proof.

 

[RichieJA]

Seems a bit odd, would they not just dry out and be as good as new ?

Cheers dude.

I did spot this earlier and I've asked the mods to keep an eye out for any adverts popping up on here :up:

They're not damaged apparently...

There were protected in plastic bags...

Smells more fishy than @Liam. 's bell end!

 

[MarcB]

Just seen this also.

 

[RichieJA]

Nice if it was legit, would need to be cash on delivery so it can be checked.

 

[welshname]

As such is used far too many times

 

[BoatNonce]

Stainless steel.

Water damage.

Mmmmkay.

The bloke has replied on Facebook.

Standby...

 

[welshname]

The link didn't work for me. Give us a screen when he responds

Op got reeled in and fell for it hook,line and sinker.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Incredibly it seems to be legit :up:

 

[cs_dave]

Could be a right bargain

 

[Gus]

Also if anyone buys this make sure it has the new flexi centre section as the old one breaks really quickly around the joins and it is possible Scorpion wont warranty these insurance write offs.

Incredibly it seems to be legit :up:

I expect it will be. They're not far from Hebden Bridge and surrounding areas which as I'm sure everyone knows got battered by the recent floods...

 

[Mariusz]

Potential bargain if it is true. Definitely tempted, still got an original Renault exhaust on mine that has seen better days. If you could order and pay on credit card you'd be protected.

 

[Typhoon]

If anyone is going to buy this offer, please remember to pay correctly. If using PayPal then please do not gift the money. Cover the fees so you are protected by PayPal in case it isn't as it seems.

I contacted the company,they said the exhausts have been under a foot of water..they have unpacked them,and dried them out the best they can....you cant return them.. I might offer £150 for one ha

if they claim on the insurance.. everyone they sell is more profit, Isn't it?..they can just say they have gone in the skip..i am only 30 miles away from them,i might pop down ,says on the website,by appointment only ,I think its just a lock up..storage place....if I am buying one,rather see the goods 1st...

 

[Amos91]

Sure this is legit.
Mark Yates is the director at Whybee who sell the RS192 (I've spoken to him some years ago now). If worried you could contact him directly - mark @ whybee . co . uk

 

[fivepointnine]

The moderator on the facebook page verified they were legit yesterday. Great bargain. I think they might be all sold now.

haha, not the facebook guy, but the moderator of the cliosport owners club on facebook.

 

[imprezaworks]

Think he was aware of that dude, lol.

internet humor sometimes escapes me lol

 

[imprezaworks]

You and me both mate lol

 

[loggyboy]

Just ordered one - will see how it is later in week when its here.

 

[klm182]

I know,i just contacted Zuckerberg, he said due to his business doing well,he will buy a none water damaged new exhaust.. but he would be interested in any water damaged wet suits, to save money...

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

These are legit.

Just got email from the owner of RS192

 

[BoatNonce]

Billy bargain really, I can't see how the exhausts themselves can have suffered any damage from getting wet.

 

[yeecup]

surely loads of dirty water getting inside the system and nto the baffles cant be good for them??

 

[welshname]

Yeah it's not just water, it's flood water. And that'll be full of mud, silt, all the dust and crap picked up from the warehouse floor etc.

 

[imprezaworks]

Personally I wouldn't buy one. But if it works out great stuff

 

[Amos91]

An exhaust full of water is a standard 182 feature.

 

[loggyboy]

A rinse thru in both directions prior to installation will clear any crap/silt. As for damage, exhaust are a naturally damp environment with condensation, and dry very quickly after running for a few mins, so baffle materials should have no issues with some water being in them.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

These exhausts give a good Bass note, can also work well with an RS Tuna.. Shame they didn't store them in a different Plaice away from floods.. People have good reason to Trout if this is genuine. I'm Gutted I haven't got a spare 200 Squid, Cod have Haddock a bargain there!

 

[mrbroons]

Offer is totally legit. Had confirmation as KLM has - total bargain.

Hi, yes it is 100% genuine advert, they are our flooded stock

we are the exclusive distributor for the RS192 system

They are being sold off as salvage while stocks last, we sold 10 last week and only a few left as a bargain deal!

I presume you're talking about packing rather than baffles, but as above it shouldn't be overly troubled if you give it a good wash out. Won't be any worse than the s**t the engine kicks out.
