FS:Cobb AP Purchased from MM PENDING Support

I have a rx8 Cobb AP for sale that was purchased from Jeff ( MazdaManiac ). I will have pics up tomorrow.

AP will be uninstalled from the car once a buyer is confirmed. I have 07 MT N/A maps on it right now. Jeff should back this as I did purchase this from him. He also can you send you MAP specifics for your vehicle once you receive it.

Price - $575 SHIPPED ANYWHERE IN THE US

No I do not mind at all. I understand that Jeff has been very busy, and I tend to be impatient at times. So I went looking at local shops to see if they could give me a tune. Well the local shop that is installing my nitrous tomorrow is not going to get the pro tune software b/c of lack of interest from rx8's around me. So, the guy that I got my nitrous kit from is selling his E-manage Ultimate w/ harness and all. The shop said they are more familiar w/ the greddy system and could do me any map I wanted even nitrous maps. So, I am selling my AP and PLAN on getting his E-manage. Hope that answers your question.

In a nutshell the AP is awesome and I'm going to miss having my cat CEL off, but this is more practical for me in my area.

AlienRX8 I am sending him a PM now asking him to view the thread and Post in it. I hope he gets to it...but I did purchase it from him. He has stood behind previous ones sold so I don't know why he wouldn't this one.

I think that offerring up Jeff's additional work for free is a bit harsh. i wouldn't assume anything until he tells you directly. If I were him, there would be a point where the flipping of the AP's would get to me, and I would stop allowing succeeding users the benefits of buying form him directly. If he continues with his practice of being a nice guy about it, it says a lot about him. I haven't seen one place where he has complained that this is taken for granted, I just felt the need myself. He will be doing nearly as much work for the new owner, after already doing the work he was paid for.

Actually not that much work since it already has the maps for an 07 mt and thats what my car is. Only the time to tweak it with me. I dont know I guess its up to him.

I understand revvitupp. I completely see your point. However, in Jeff's already overwhelming amounts of work with the AP and BHR / MM product line releases, I never received support after the purchase. I am in NO way saying that it was a lack of concern on Jeff's part. I am merely saying that I did not have the patience " ME " to wait. That is not Jeff's problem. This is just a easier fix for me here in NC where the "Tuner" world is not so big. Getting the Ultimate is more practical for me than having the AP.

I agree he has gone above and BEYOND what anyone had to, and I commend him for that. I can only HOPE he does support mine like he has the rest. If he doesn't, then I assure you it will not be falsely advertised.

I will support the next owner.
Just realize that you are in a very long line and it might take me a while to get up to speed - especially if the buyer has a highly customized setup.

I won't be supporting third owners! lol.

It wasn't a shot or anything like that, jsut saying that continued support should be a blessing not an expectation, as he has replied, he will be doing so...

And as you say you have not received the after purchase support, that does kind of void my argument. My point was that if he walks you through gettign the right map, you chance a couple fo things, he supports again, then you sell it and has to go through the same multi-step process with 6 more owners that is ridiculous.

Consider it simply making a point as to the work he has done, and a backlog he is currently been experiencing.
I will be purchasing a unit directly from him at some point in the relatively near future, though I may consider an option liek this if he continues to go above and beyond, Though I wouldn't expect it. I would not buy an AP, myself personally, without a willing and able tuner ready to assist.

I wouldn't bid on this even if I was ready to buy. To be honest, I think Jeff is going way beyond customer service. When I am ready, I will buy directly from MazdaManiac. If his commitment to customers is this good in this situaion, I feel confident I will be satisfied.

and this is why I have chosen the devils hairdryer by MM/BHR for my turbokit choice. Jeff only does quality, and having Charles just over an hour away to do the install who also only puts out quality. and the over and above support/assistance offered by both parties cant be matched by anyone that I have seen yet as far as vendors and such on this board. I am not bad mouthing any of the vendors, they do what is needed, but Jeff and Charles go ABOVE what is needed/required.

yup.. hes venting with me right now. I feel ramon's pain. this is the SECOND time in a week this happened to him upon calling dibs and someone following got it. It also happened to me last week with a set of accents. it seems dibs no longer means **** on this board. some longtimers on the boards do, and there are great sellers, but this kind of stuff is total BS.
