1997 Volvo 960 This was my first car purchase on Ebay. Needless to say I was a bit skeptical. I ran across Val's auctions while looking for a used Volvo for my son. His cars were cleaner and better priced than anything I'd seen locally or on the net. Val went the extra mile to ensure I knew what was going on every step of the way, and that the car was as perfect as he could make it. Bottom line, when I'm looking for a used car again, I'll look for one of Val's auctions first. Thanks for a great car buy, Val. Excellent job. Regards, Don Fuller Virginia Beach fullers.nhim@cox.net 2002 Audi A4 The car is awsome! I absolutly love it. It was as described or better. Great transaction, Great communication! Could not have gotten a better deal. I would highly reccomend you to anyone. Thank you so much. J. McCarrell Knoxville,TN 1997 Volvo 960 wagon I just bought a 1997 Volvo 960 from Val. He was very accomodating with respect to meeting to test the car and also allowed me to drive the car to my mechanic for a more thorough inspection. Val was very forthcoming about this cars problems and defects that he was aware of. He had even contacted the previous owner to obtain the radio security code (for some reason, the original Volvo code was no longer valid). Given that the car is 10 years old and due for scheduled maintenance, there were some substantial repair bills in the immediate future for the next owner. I brought this up with Val and he was very professional in his response. We were able to negotiate a price based on this. Overall, this was a good car buying experience. If Val is still doing this in 10 years when my Volvo dies, I'll check out his inventory again. Todd 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Hi Val, It has been a month since we purchased the Audi from you, and I just wanted to say that we are very pleased with the car. It is definitely the most luxurious car I have ever had the opportunity to own. I have put the car through its paces this month and I am looking for excuses to run errands so that I can drive the car! I am very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to check out the car (and eventually buy it!) even though you had interested buyers on your Ebay auction. It was good of you to let me have a chance at the car. You were very easy to work with, and I certainly felt comfortable that you were holding nothing back regarding the car. It was a pleasure to meet your family, and I had a good feeling when you and your father watched me drive away in my new car. Thanks again for a great deal on a great car! Best, Quincy Durham, NC 2006 Audi A3 I would like to say “Thank you!” I appreciate that buying this car was a smooth transaction. I was very hesitant to buy a car through eBay… I was thinking am I crazy…I would have been crazy to let it pass me by…I really love my car… Very satisfied…It was worth it! I like to thank you for your hospitality and patience through all the phone calls and paperwork…Everything was handle in a well professional manner…I wouldn’t mind doing business with you again… Linda Diefenbach, Chelsea, MA 2001 BMW 330cic Val, Just want to let you know that my wife and I are very pleased with the BMW 330ci that we purchase from you. The car is as great as you intimated both cosmetically and mechanically!!! My biggest concern was buying something off the internet but you made the transaction so easy and seamless that my fears were groundless. I have already given your name to several friends who I'm sure will look you up! By the way the shipping was also great and the car arrived a week ahead of schedule, Thank you Val for everything you are terrific!! Great car, great guy!!! Feel free to use me as a strong endorsement!! Sincerely John Winans, Olympia, WA johnw@mixx96.com 2002 Audi A4 Val, I have been very impressed with the Audi A4 that I purchased from you. I really appreciate your professionalism in regards to the sale of the car. I would advise anyone to consider purchasing from you because of your honesty and prompt service. I hope to enjoy this car for years to come. Thanks You, Kwasi Smith Raleigh, NC 2001 BMW 740IL Val, let me just say it was a pleasure to work with you on the purchase of this fine sedan. Your ad had the most detail that I can recall and it was accurate as well. My wife and I enjoy letting the car drive us instead of us driving it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this car. Thanks again for working with us and we wish you the best for the future. Chris and Kristie Christensen Apex, NC 2006 Honda Odyssey Touring Dear Val, After a long cross country drive I got my Honda Odyssey home. It performed beautifully. The van was every bit as good as advertised. I specially appreciate the extra effort you made to get the paperwork right so I could take it across the border. Pencil me in as a happy customer. My thanks, Gerrit Scheffel, Calgary 1992 Acura Legend LS Hello Val, Just wanted to say that I'm very happy with the decision I made to purchase a car from you. As I stated I was skeptical about buying off the internet, but after meeting with you, my mind was at ease. I was also pleased at how you took the time to go over every area of the vehicle and explain every detail about it. You even made the day of purchase smooth. I appreciate everything you did to make it happen for me. You went out of your way making sure the vehicle was fueled and helping me get the car registered. I will take care of your pride and joy and I definitely would recommend you to my family and friends. Miracles and Blessings! Tokovia Byrd, Knightdale, NC 2002 Audi A4 1.8T Val, My wife and I can't thank you enough. Not only did you sell an amazing car in pristine condition at a price thousands less than anyone else, but you bent over backwards to make the deal easy. VERY easy! I basically asked for things out of the ordinary that accomodated me and my time, and you did it without hesitation. That meant alot to us. To anyone considering buying a vehicle from you, I wouldn't hesitate to give a big thumbs up! Feel free to send them my way if they have doubts and I'll close the sale for you. I'll be watching your inventory closely for the next great deal!! Take care and I'll talk with you soon. Best regards, Eric Roth, Winston Salem, NC 2005 Porsche Cayenne Val, I would like to thank you for the car i bought recently. This is not the first time im buying a car online and I have to say you are one of the best people i had business with. The description given and the pictures were a real match. The transaction went smooth and fast. If i would ever want to buy a new car i know the right person! You are the right person to make business with Victor Dodita Atlanta, GA 2004 Jaguar XJR Dear Mr. Cristea, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your assistance in purchasing my “new” 2004 Jaguar XJR. Like many people looking at vehicles online, I was a little nervous about purchasing a vehicle without seeing it in person. One thing that drew my attention to your listings was the very detailed gallery (and even video on mine) that clearly showed the car from every angle inside and outside including any minor imperfections. Although I flew in (and appreciate the airport pickup), I would not hesitate to recommend to someone to have any of your cars shipped to them now that I have met with you and experienced your customer care. Every email and call was answered promptly, and I look forward to recommending you to others and purchasing from you again in the future. All information and details were spot on and the transaction was very efficient. I like this car better than my one year old BMW to be quite honest. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I hope others who are researching your history may view this to make them feel confident in how efficient the process will be with you. Regards, Eric Brandenburg Chattanooga, TN 2001 BMW740IL Hey Val, My wife and I cannot thank you enough for the car we purchased from you. We have always wanted a 740 IL and, after getting the windows tinted, it is by far the most beautiful car we’ve ever owned. Obviously, purchasing a car over the internet causes some, if not a lot, of hesitation. You never know who you’re dealing with, or what you’re going to get. But, you did a great job providing so many pictures and details about the car and its history that it helped to overcome our fears and ultimately sold us. We are very satisfied with the final outcome, Val. Although, we were initially scared about the balancing issue with the tires after we closed the transaction. However, you made numerous calls to the individual from whom you purchased the tires/rims to find out the cause as well as the solution And, you consistently followed up to make sure we were taken care of and satisfied. Thank you for going the extra mile with us, Val - you are a good man! Kindest regards, Rus H. Irmo, SC 1993 Acura Legend LS HELLO VAL, FIRST LET ME SAY THAT I AM TRULY ENJOYING THE ACURA YOU SOLD ME.

Arnold Garka Lake Stevens, WA 2001 Volvo V70 XC I recently purchased a 2001 Volvo XC70 from Val and I am delighted with the car. I, like many people would be, was very nervous about buying a car on ebay from America. I live in Norway so had to rely on Vals honesty throughout the purchase. He took photos from so many angles it was almost as good as seeing it in person. The transaction went very smoothly and correspondance was excellent. I required Vals help to sort out an issue with the Customs which required some further documentation from Volvo in America and Val sorted this out for me. Even answering my emails from his Holiday in France. I would say to anyone buying a car on ebay to try Val first. You wont get a better service anywhere!. Thanks for all your Help. Regards Stephen MacDonell Norway. 2004 Mercedes S430 4matic Hello Val, My wife and I wish to express our satisfaction and appreciation for the manner in which you handled the sale of the Mercedes-Benz S430 4Matic. After talking to you on the phone and the friendly interaction at your residence at the time of our personal inspection of the vehicle, all the doubts we had about making such a high-priced internet-based purchase had disappeared. The vehicle was as nice as was described in your ad, and it was charming enough to make my wife settle for it, although her intial preference was the Mercede-Benz S350. The car feels and drives like new. We are enjoying every moment with it and anticipate many happy driving miles from it. Thanks again and I hope to send prospective bargain hunters your way! Kwaku Twumasi-Ankrah Fayetteville, NC 2003 BMW 330cic Valentin, I just wanted to thank you again for making the process of buying a car online so painless. My wife absolutely fell in love with the car on the drive home and she hasn't stopped smiling all day over it. This is the 4th car I have bought on ebay and working with you was by far the best experience. The communication from the first contact to the time we pulled away in the car was outstanding. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a car to give Val a chance, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a great BMW! I'll look you up when I start looking for another vehicle. Chris Stapleton, Glen Allen, VA 2000 Jaguar XK8 Hi Val, I want to thank you for the 2000 Jaguar XK8 you sold me in September. I have been driving it for 2 months now, and am very satisfied. The experience dealing with you was pleasant, and I feel I got a great car for the money. The documentation you provided was useful, and have assisted me in identifying what work had been done and what I would need to do in the near future. That relieved some of the worry about buying an older car. I am attaching a picture of the car taken on a recent Sunday drive in the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. Thank you so much for the service you provide.

Some people actually thought the car was brand new. LOL. The car was very well maintained. I really appreciate your professionalism during the transaction. You are great guy and I have recommended you to many of my friends. I know where to look when I purchase my next car. Thanks, Rolando Riggsbee Durham, NC 2001 BMW 330cic Val is a great guy to work with. The BMW was accurately described and performed flawlessly on the 200 mile drive home. I highly recommend Val for honesty and integrity. Larry Z. of South Carolina Val, This is not a question about this car but about a 2001 330ci we recently bought. Just wanted to tell you this car has been great and we get complements all the time. Had checked out by a local BMW dealer and the car checked out fine. I never thought I'ld like a car as much as one of my Vettes. It's strictly a weekend car but we enjoy it everytime we get behind the wheel Thanks again for a great transaction and car. Your nummber one. Larry and Geri in South Carolina 2003 BMW 330cic Hello Val, I have enjoyed the BMW 330CI now for a few weeks and all is great! I get lots of nice comments about how good of condition the car is for a 2003. It is a fun car to drive and I enjoy fresh air most mornings with the top down as I head to work. I hope your business continues to do well. Best regards, Dan Raleigh, NC 2002 BMW 325cic Val, I am thoroughly enjoying the 2002 BMW 325ci that I purchased from you last week. It is truly a well built machine and runs like it is brand new. Boy is it fun to have that top down and driving faster than I should! Thank you for your professionalism in working with me on the purchase. You certainly made the process simple and clean. I will gladly recommend you to others as well as come back to you again for my next car. Thank you again. Best. Ken Drinkwalter Norfolk, VA 2003 BMW 540i Val This is late - but I just want you to know that the car is running beautifully. There was a minor 'tone' sound that we traced to the new tires - not your fault! The trip from NC to NH was a breeze, my friends can't believe 'buying a car over the internet' and my dealer / service guy is very impressed with the quality. He suggested I should do his buying for him! Me, I'm impressed with the relative simplicity of the process. Hardest part was getting a one-way plane ticket! Bill Danby, Manchester, NH 2005 BMW 745li Dear Val, My Husband and I would like to thank you for making our first experience buying a car on Ebay an absolute pleasure. We are so please with the 05 BMW 745LI. It was exactly as you described on your listing. Everything went very smooth from the paper work to the car being delivered to our door. We really appreciate you being in constant communication with us and I know that is not always easy. We will defiantly do business again. Its is hard to find some one as professional and honest as you are. Thank you again, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Best wishes, Phil & Sandy Aristone NJ 2003 Jaguar XKR Hello Val, I just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying the car and everything is fine. I took the car to a repair guy to get the Serous radio hooked up and the rear camera working. It was finished today and it all is working great. I hope everything is good with you. Regards John S. Downington, PA 2002 BMW 330cic Val, I have always wanted a BMW 330ci convertible. All the pictures and details helped me make a clear decision to buy this car. It was in excellent condition and as advertised. The entire process was very smooth from being picked up at the airport to handling the paperworks. I would definitely recommend you to friends and colleagues. Thank you for an excellent buying experience. Adrian K. Hobe Sound, FL 2004 Jaguar XJR November 2010 To whom it may concern, I recently purchased a 2004 jaguar XJR from Valentin Cristea. He was a joy to work with. The XJR was everything and more. When I picked up the car it was EXACTY as he explained with no surprises. Valentin did all the related paperwork on his end and some of mine as well. Being a Canadian there was a tremendous amount of paperwork required; even after i picked up the car he continued to assist me. Valentin is honest, accommodating to my schedule, professional and a joy to have dealt with. The car was in immaculate condition, and ran perfecftly. I highly recommend doing business with him and his company. Should you wish to contact me direct, please do so at jeni@tricoenergy.ca. Sincerely, Jeni Marinescu “a VERY satisfied customer”
