Nissan 370Z Forum  

Reflections on GTM over the years

They should not even be considered a sponsor on this forum after all that has happened then then again it all boils down to money and greed. After all that

They should not even be considered a sponsor on this forum after all that has happened then then again it all boils down to money and greed. After all that has happened the admins would step up and make a judgment call to protect any other non-suspecting z owners from buying anything from gtm. There I said it ...

At this point the forum is just getting free money from them... So why not? The forum needs money to operate.
I doubt GTM is making any sales off the forum

Well maybe if we keep talking about it we will get a response from someone who can give a clear cut answer. Something that makes sense. If not then I think that is an answer in itself

Please! Please do not take this the wrong way but I'm honestly surprised to hear you say that. I think its really clear why not. Its a matter of decency and respect for the members that make up this family. If I'm the father of a family (admin.) And someone is taking advantage of my children or extended family then I would take steps to protect my own. I would think it would be a no-brainer, a knee-jerk reaction. Or at least call bullshi*!!!

No what will happen is this thread will be lcoked and deleted as many others have in the past. There are a lot of people who have no idea of gtm business practices. If sam had taken my money if I participated in this GB I would be making a trip to cali... You can count on that.

It's funny because I was actually one of the first to start to complain about gtm and was even threatened to be banned if I continued to tell what actually happened to me...

I know one of the admins owns a gtr so I seriously doubt he is hurting for money so it basically boils down to legit business practices on all ends...

No this won't be locked or deleted, Have you looked? You'd find all of GTM's threads good and bad posts.

I thought I pointed that out in the other GTM thread where same allegations about admins were made. Honestly I don't know what say anymore.

Do you remember how at time there wasn't all this info there is now? How are WE going to know an isolated issue to unhappy customer when at time other members were getting parts or service. Fast forward now and there is no question there are big problems with GTM and I would expect AK to deal with it. I can't do anything once again

Correction a Moderator, and HE MC (Matt) is on here to primarily share GTR info and thats ALL. He has nothing to do with GTM here so lets not start jumping to assumptions.

On the conduct of GTM I agree But to hold a forum whom has no responsibility in the business transactions of a buyer and seller sure we try to help sometimes But if one party doesn't cooperate what more can be done? Trash them now what?, Lets not forget that a buyer has to do his homework, and if he doesn't! WHY is it the fault of a forum, Will we blame the internet if the same people bought from their website, and ended up with the same results? of course not. GTM's caused all this and lets remember that. I again have been pretty straight up and anyone that knows me knows I have nothing to hide or gain here with ANY vendor But to keep things humming along as best as possible albeit it alone most of the time. I rarely get thanks for all I do here from members, But an occasional spat on. I was told along time ago Modding isn't easy since you sometimes can't win no matter what side your on. But rest assure Im on the members side as hard as you might think. I can only hope those whom are owed money get it back one way or another.

Well let me start by saying I certainly appreciate you and all the people that make this forum possible. My comment you quoted was in response to Cosmo saying he was threatened which surprised the hell out of me. I agree that you guys aren't responsible for the actions of others I'm only speaking to after the fact. I'm just surprised that gtm seems to get away with taking people's hard earned money and using this forum as a medium to do it. I didn't mean to personally offend you or anyone like I said I appreciate all the work that goes into making this forum what it is and its that same love and appreciation that angers me when the people who make up this family get taken advantage of. I'm just surprised that nothing has been done. I'm sure gtm has some sort of legal rights considering there was some sort of binding agreement when they submitted payment but I think that at some point enough should be enough.

Trips I think your doing a Great job and you should be told more.. He is right, no one knew gtm would be a total complete failure in the long run.. We all need to make sure if and when they do file for bankruptcy and decide to open up in a different name we know and can find out... They had such a good thing going at one time, what a shame..

Just wondering as I only have this and a few older threads to go off of...

Did GTM show any sign of failure previous to this group buy? Did GTM have a community in the 350z market?

When a new member joins the forum and observes the listed forum sponsors on here, the normal assumption is this is a legitimate business.

After all this mayhem with GTM, please remove them so future Z members don't make this mistake.
