Beware of this guy

[desmo888 at comcast.net]

Matt has been selling parts from this wrecked CQ for some time now.  His name has also come up before as a less-than-reliable seller.
I generally give Audi folks the benefit of the doubt and have done many deals with them.  I only get references for large purchases.  Unfortunatley Matt has scammed more than one Audi peer.
I personally met him and I do believe he has some serious issues.  Very unacommodating and and a generally lazy jerk.
