Lo . I went three times before I bought the nsx-r. Kept buying the other cars before. I should have bought the LaFerraris last week since they marked it in store as having discount. But yesterday when I went. The yellow stickers were off.

it said new inventory Dec 1 and that the prices would be reflected on the site if there was a sale on the item. they ran out of nsx-r's before so i thought restocking would be considered "new". oh well you snooze you lose.

yes ted said that the nsx-r shouldn't have qualified or was on the border of being considered new stock...i was confused because it's a pretty old model from 2010 but I'm guessing it was part of a new shipment.

has anyone here ordered from http://www.daboxtoys.com ?

an order i had placed a week ago still shows as not being processed. they've already billed my credit card and no one answered my email asking why. their website and facebook site are regularly updated so i know they are there but... should i be worried?

I bought from their website in the past, no problems. I paid with paypal though and the item shipped on the next day.

thanks!

i use my credit card thru paypal. i've been burned in the past by bad sellers and needed my credit card company to back me up because paypal does little.

I think you're pretty safe with them, I've bought from them on eBay quite often and I think they do a "we go to the shipping place once a week with everything" type deal as the notification of my item being shipped always varied a lot.

!Kodamu 02-12-2015 10:54 AM

I ordered with them and they had no problems holding the item for me till April. Even quickly corrected the price for me when I didn't need shipping.

WTF so I just looked at my NSX and my seat belt is messed up, does not look like your picture at all, don't think I can do anything about it too since I bought the model last year.

Picked up 2 more Porsche a few days ago, a grey 911 GT3 RS and a green 911 3.0 Turbo.

Haha yah one of the dangers of buying online is you can't inspect the model beforehand (not that you would think to check if the seats were put in backwards) but I have all 3 colours of the NSX-R and 2/3 of mine have backwards seats. Only the yellow one is correct.

It's kind of a pissoff when you spend so much money on it and I tried to contact AutoArt directly about it a number of times without even so much as a "Thank you for your email" response... nothing at all... I mean I don't really expect them to do anything, but even just a recognition of the error/apology would be nice, it's a bit disappointing considering they are peddling what amounts to being a luxury item for most people and customer service expectations are usually pretty high in that realm.
