Anyone know this guy?
There is a guy that sells rebuilt A4s in Southern California near Escondido. He charges $3500. Does anyone know him or his reputation? I'm pretty sure his name is Ed..

Don't know him, never heard of him but if this is a private party I'd first inquire about diagnostic measurements (compression, cooling system pressure test, oil pressure @XRPM, etc.) and a running demonstration. If it is a business entity I'd expect the same plus a warranty.
He's representing this as a full rebuild so let him prove it and stand behind it before plopping down several thousand dollars in a form of payment that cannot be recovered if it goes sour.

I believe in an email thread with him he said from Moyer. Is there any actual badge to the name "master marine mechanic" or is that something anyone can call themselves?

I would ask for a warranty and a previous customer you could go talk to. Not saying the guy is not good, but we had a "rebuilder" around here decades ago that was really a "cleaner and painter"
