Do no do business with him, he is a crook! We went to his garage to look at the carts on Saturday, they looked nice. We were told that we could have one delivered Monday. We put a $500 deposit down.

On Monday we were told that the cart would not be delivered for a few days. We said that we would just like our deposit back. Mark said no and we could take him to court because many have threatened him with court and he is not going to give us our deposit back.

He was very rude and nasty. He yelled and swore at us and said if we did not want the cart we lose our $500. We tried to stop payment on the check but were not able to. We felt we had no choice but to accept the cart.

When we eventually got the cart it backfired needed a new carburetor, had a bad clutch and rode terrible. The gas tank leaked from the poorly installed after market gas gauge.We could not get him to honor his warranty and had to hire someone reputable to repair the cart.

How he is allowed to continue to rip people off is a crime. You have been warned!
Just out of curiosity, how old was the cart and what was the total cost?
