Not something you want to hear I'm sure, but seeing the damage and then proceeding to paint the tips puts you in a bit of awkward situation too. Hope you guys work it out and everybody walks away satisfied, good luck. |

I didn't know the EV's had damage to them before I painted the tips. The damage was discovered by my shop AFTER the tips were painted black and when the exhaust was being installed on the car. The only damage that I knew of right off the bat, was the spliced wire when I opened that package. The seller covered the replacement for that (albeit after going back and forth for a bit), however the EV is the issue that he won't resolve. |

No one likes being taken advantage of. I just wanted an easy and pleasant transaction.

One of the reasons it's hard to buy from the MarketPlace here. So far I purchased 3 items... 1 was shipped and the other 2 I picked up! So I've been lucky! I actually drove from Ohio to New Jersey to pick up the MTech rear bumper and the EV Meisterschaft exhaust.

I hate to say it - but you opened the package, saw an issue and proceeded to modify (paint) the part a different color. Should have probably not touched anything until the issue was resolved.
Not sure if something like this could be damaged during shipping, but I probably wouldn't have accepted it back either if I was the seller. Let's put it this way - would you buy new tips and install them if he said he'll take it back the way you received it? |

Like I said, I feel for the OP, but this situation could have been handled much better - starting with not painting the parts that he wasn't satisfied with and filing a claim right away. Again, would the OP consider buying new tips and returning the exhaust the way he received it for a full refund? |

Only 2 of the tips can be purchased, the other 2 are not able to be removed as they are welded on from the manufacturer. Even if I was able to get brand new tips, it would cost me additional labor expenses to take the system off of my car. This is not wheels that you can just take off in 20min. |

Again, I am just trying to be reasonable with the seller first, however if he doesn't man up and do the right thing and take responsibility for selling me something other than what I paid him for then I will proceed with taking him to court. |

In court you have to prove not only that the part is defective, but he knowingly sold you a defective part. The splice isn't much of a big deal, if he says he thought they worked fine, you saw the pictures and proceeded with the purchase, you won't get anything. Sometimes it can be a costly mistake, but that is a risk of purchasing a used part without testing it first.

If the wires were spliced, and you paid to have them professionally repaired, the technician would then have identified that the e-valves were inoperable. I know because I am a technician and that would fall into the QC process. QTP motors contain a very simple circuit which leads to my misunderstanding of how fixing a splice should cost anywhere near $200.
This whole thing seems fishy. You had many opportunities to ship the item back for your refund with PayPal as the mediator. His word proves you are just as shady. You can't have the money and the exhaust. Last edited by SLVSRFR; 02-16-2017 at 11:50 PM.. |
