How would you settle the issue?
Either way if youd like to call me and the post a resolution that would be fine but id still rather speak as close to in person as we can get. I have no desire to get into an arguement over the phone either but rather to talk this out instead of sitting here typing. I just want to get this resolved asap...
i agree with dance dance revolution here (i kid, I kid), but this should have been brought to the attention earlier. im not sure how everyone else on here operates, but whenever i buy a used part, wether it be valve springs or a rearend, it doesnt matter if im going to install the part tomorrow or next year, i always inspect it throughly to make sure nothing is wrong so i can get it taken care of in a timely fashion, not a year later when i go to install it.
its not hard to put the rear on jackstands, pull the axles out and take a sniff around...had you done this, you would have noticed the twisted axles and removed any possibility of the argument that it has been in your posession so long that you could have done the damage.
and same goes for an engine. you mentioned this earlier. if i sold an engine advratised in perfect condition, actually in perfect condition and the buyer came to me 4 months later bitching about a spun bearing, id tell them to take it up with paypal, and let paypal tell them where to go and how to get there. now, if the same engine was sold, delivered, tore down, inspected and the problem brought to my attention within days of being received, or a week or so for that matter, i would gladly fix the problem. because i know not everyone is going to disassemble an entire engine to find a problem.
however, it takes only minutes to pull the oil pan and heads off and look for problems....
i agree with ddr tho, he has every right to tell you to get fucked, but is being man enough to offer you your programmers back in return.

I just saw this and actually know Candyblueta from all the meets that we have here in Dallas. I can actually say that I have not seen his car out at any of the meets in a couple of months and can say that he still had the 10 bolt in his car. He had told me that he bought a new rearend and that it would be going in as soon as he would have the money to get the suspension to install it. Thats about the only thing I can say on this, didnt know he bought it from someone on this site. This sucks for both parties hope you guys can settle this someway or another
you know what i agree...
however 4 months ago, after buying the rear end, i couldnt afford the new shock or coilover setup and install immediately. hence why i was upset to find out i had to run other shocks AFTER i had already bought the rear end. Also if you remember when we were speaking about a driveshaft, i said i was going to have to wait to get that until i could afford it..... And also just taking the rear cover off isnt an adequate means of inspecting a rear end, just like removint a valve cover on a motor.
Doug, the fact of the matter is, is that im offering you every oppertunity to call LG, me to send pictures, ask about how it was given to them on the same pallet, wrapped with the same wire you gave it to me with, and you keep refusing. again if I were to have swapped plates over, then the powdercoating would have been disturbed, i wouldnt have my stock 10 bolt currently in my car, with all of the parts i bought still sitting in the box waiting to go in and it would have seen road time in the past few months.
I really honestly think you should call LG it might make you feel better about it and help you understand. Im in now way trying to be a dick, or anything but it really just seems like you dont want to help here. And as any person on this site would feel, im not going to be totally screwed out of so much money. Im not even asking for everything back. I want this resolved more than you.
I understand your seeking advice, but at the same time your asking a biased group of people. i guarentee that if i would have made the origional post stating "I got screwed over on a rear end" and told the whole story, it would be the exact other way around and the examples in the negitive feedback section speaks for that. Just like if you were to ask anyone from around here. Regardless of what anyone says, your decision is up to you. When you make that decision then CALL me. You have my number. i'd much rather discuss this in a more mature fashion.

Sorry bro but if I was to buy something used from another member I would be sure to inspect it right away to confirm there are no issues with the piece. Either that or don't buy used ****!! No matter what your delima was at the time or why you couldn't install the rearend it is now your problem!! There is no way in hell I would pay you a dime after 4 months of selling you this rearend and knowing that you might have installed it on your car a screwed it up yourself!! To the OP. You are a retard if you give this guy anything back!! Just my opinion!
IN any case it sucks that the rear had twisted splines. You cant tell that unless you took the rear end apart. Anyway the way it sounds in the debat between the two They buyer should of know if he just took off the rear cover that he did not inspect the axles splines. And the seller should of made he knew that if he didnt. Yes it sucks for both parties. Any way both should have done a little more homework and as stated above. It doesnt cost anything to tear the rear apart. The buyer should of done that right away. And like I said before there is no way of telling that the splines are twisted unless the hole rear is dissasembled. At this point I think the buyer needs to take his lose and move on. Has been to long and should of done is homework on the rear before he bought. This is just one reason to really inspect used parts ASAP!

I think if he had gotten back to you in a timely manner, like maybe 2 weeks at the most, I would have tried to work out a compromise, but 4 months is ridiculous and means that you have to put your faith in his story which isn't reasonable for him to expect of you.
If it was me, I would have no problem with offering my sympathies to him but no more. The fault is his, IMO, for not having the rearend checked-out right after taking delivery. The time factor is what invalidates his claim IMHO.

Would have to agree. 4 months is way too long. If you consulted him earlier I'm sure you could have worked something out. Even if the rear was messed up when he shipped it to you, there is just no way the buyer could believe you by responding 4 months later. A lot can go on in 4 months.

Here's my take... I picked up the rear end when it came in with Billy. Helped him unload it in his garage and it didn't move until a week or two ago when he took it to LG to have it checked.
So I can vouch that it has not been used or even looked at since purchased. It was said to be inspected and 100% good to go by the seller.
If the seller is honest and will stand behind his word, then he should reimburse the money for the parts to be replaced. Billy isnt asking for a full refund and has been very up front and honest about what's going on. He didnt try to say the whole rear end is fucked, he only asked that it be brought up to the 100% working condition that it was said to be in
So pay him what you agreed upon and be the honest salesman you said you would be!!
That's my take. And again you have my word that he's in no way trying to rip you off!!!!!

and as far as your word, your whopping 2 posts and March 2010 join date doesnt give you much crediability around here. anyone can have somebody join and back up their story.
he offered 2 of the programmers back that were worth more than the bad parts...thats more than fair. Why would he give cash back when he has something worth just as much to trade?

I would prefer not to have the programmers back because I don't have the time to sell them, and havnt been able to enjoy my car in months.
Russyo can put in his 2 cents if he wants. Yall don't make the decision of who can and can't post. His story is tried and true, but I'm tired of posting here. Doug I'm beyond ready to be done with this. Please hit me up soon.
