I saw that ad today and was wondering what the real story was. Sounds like you two need to work this out or he will continue to be nasty.

I bought one of this guy's "rebuilt "engines.twoweeks in it started leaking oil,then it started making a loud noise,then I had to rebuild it again.didnt even last the 30 day warranty and he just dropped off the face of the earth till today..now the warranty is up.when I rebuilt the engine myself it didn't have a new crank,oilpump,or even a new head for that matter.just beware of what u buy...and I can see that he isn't good at what he dose...everone else will back there stuff for a year.

Was there ANY communication . . what specifically failed?

he told me on the 3rd week of ownership that it was leaking. i told him to bring it back. he went on thanksgiving holiday then came home and then wanted to bring it back after the warranty was out and i said no. now this. he is lying, i replace EVERY part

nobody gives 1 year warranties on chinese scooter motor rebuilds, this punk is just mad. i have delt with him before. he always wants things his own way. I even gave him a carb jet and a fan shroud for free.

nothing failed he is just slandering me because i would not fix the oil leak because the warranty is expired and he knows it.

I think pinkscoot is right. He will be nasty for a long time even if you work something out.

You can tell me there is a problem on day 28, but you can't wait to bring it back until day 32.

What would be the downside of being a little more "flexible" . . in the customer relations context?

NOT challenging your rebuilding expertise . . but even a 50mm BBK should run for a couple of months before bearing failure.

i understand however i don't think you have had to deal with craigslist people in the same way that i have. they want it all, for free, guaranteed, right now, and never break.

1. where does that end?
2. its running now, he is lying, he is pissed off that i will not fix his oil leak because his warranty is expired and he knows it. I cant take anything back anywhere after a warranty expires on anything i ever bought.

Well, I am going to be honest here. I would never buy from someone with your attitude. I know you are venting here but he did notify you it was bad before the warranty expired. What if I had one of your rebuilds and it broke on my way to work Monday. Monday is day 26 of my warranty period. I work until Friday and can't bring it in until Saturday, Day 31, out of warranty. That seems a bit (maybe a lot) unreasonable. I'm sure you have lots of reasons why you would not honor the warranty but that is what gets you what you got. Where does it end...
Lots of folks go visit family or other activities over Thanksgiving so perhaps that should have been considered as well.
