thoughts on shops selling Rebuilt Parts as new? Ok, here is the scenario. Late 2002, I meet a shop owner and get word there is a huge sale on a Yank 3000 TC, Spohn LCA's, BMR Tubular SFC's installed for about $1100. At the time, I had been working late and had no time or place to work on my car, so I go for it. Of course I had read on here about Yanks and etc. Now about summer of 2005, in the working on my car, I sell the TC in the car and went to a Fuddle at a higher stall. My friend sent the Yank in for a restall, to a local shop, after his trans **** the clutches. He is put in contact with Dave at Yank, who informs him that particular model has been discontinued, and that the TC was originally sold NEW in 2001 (prior to me even having my car or being on this Island). To make it better, it was rebuilt in 2002, as identified by the stamping on the front cover. Of course my buddy drops by to tell me about it, and see if I had known and I didnt. I start thinking, isn't this illegal? Selling parts that are rebuilt w/o notice to the purchaser that they are NOT NEW, but rebuilt? Pisses me off since my buddy is looking at me like I may have been intentionally trying to **** him over by not telling him. I need to find my receipt I guess. Just wanting to know if there isnt some sort of Fair Business Act or something that governs ppl from doing this ****.
