i agrre, every other part of the head was perfect. as for the other thread the responders were saying it was a #16 head, but they were looking at the wrong digit, when it come to something like this no matter what someone says i will only believe what i see with my own eyes. i only want to do this job once within the next 10-20 years, or is i sell the car i want the next owner not to have any issues like this. cost her is definately an issue, if it was not i would have no problem getting all new from mercedes.

Just like buying a car - only on sight. Period.

Wreckers/dismantlers are right up there with waste haulers. Not the most honest bunch.

You'll be hard pressed to get your 25% back, if the restock fee is listed on their site before the buy, you already agreed to it.

Stick Visa on em and give them a run around. Maybe they will give in...I guess there is 1 good reason for using credit cards

If the credit card company issues a chargeback, it matters not whether merchant "gives in." The funds will be debited from the merchant's account and credited to card holder. There is no "run around" involved.

Are you a lawyer?
If you are, most of us are not (we will make errors) = please point out the correct legal term.

Breach of contract does sound right..

You are 100% correct RE:
If the credit card company issues a charge-back, it matters not whether merchant "gives in." The funds will be debited from the merchant's account and credited to card holder. There is no "run around" involved.

Are you an automotive engineer?

I asked a simple direct question, that you respond to with amphigory.
Again I ask, are you a lawyer (or related field)?


Yes, I have worked many jobs in my life to pay the bills:

* Cost management engineer, end form and tool development.
* Component failure analysis engineer.
* Heat exchanger durability development/test technician
* HV-A/C Climate Control prototype development technician
* Technical Quality Auditor.
* Technical Editor.
* Technical librarian/manager.
* Technical meeting facilitator.
* Fleet Coordinator.
* Prototype vehicle development technician
* Prototype vehicle test trip technician.
* Media launch team support technician.
* Prototype vehicle hot trip test technician.
* Prototype Heavy Truck alternative fuel vehicle development technician, GAS, NGV, FLEXFUEL, DIESEL, etc.
* Full build prototype vehicle technician, from raw material to completed vehicle.
* Tool fabrication and development technician.
* Prototype (car/light truck) alternative fuel vehicle development technician, GAS, NGV, FLEXFUEL, DIESEL, etc.
* Master line technician
* Technical Writer.
* Prototype Durability Technician.
* Welder, fabricator.

Many other job titles through the years.

Ask them if they can spell the word "chargeback". Call Visa and explain the problem and request a chargeback.

The term bait and switch is correct in both contexts. Bait and switch is also used as a term when you are sold one product(usually of greater value) and then given an inferior one(if one at all).

Happened to an idiot I served with on the Truman. Bought an expensive digital camera from a street vendor in Italy and when he got back to the ship discovered only a $150.00 bottle of water in the box. bait and switch. More commonly know as Fraud.

So, how has everything worked out for you with the head? have you gotten another one yet?

If it were not for the fact that that argument is totally without basis, it would be a great one. A "switch after the sale" is a totally different concept than "bait and switch." And neither are applicable to the situation presented here.

What was it you said about being rude?

well i sent the head back and was given all of my money back from my bank, i ended up buying a low mileage #14 head and sofar all is well, mine was definately cracked and trash
