Subject: Re: You get what you pay for, C2 style... by BillH on 2008/12/17 15:32:39 There's a bunch of "high end" shops around here. Seems to me that their expertise is mainly in "bolt on's" and the highly favored "impact wrench". What they mostly sell is Bling. Reputable shops are few and far between. And it's very hard for the "average Joe" to find one. There's only 2 shops in this area that I'd be confident to recommend to some one. Both are race shops that work on vintage and newer cars. I've never heard a complaint about either one. I've done tech inspection on cars they've built and see high quality craftsmanship. But that's 2 shops out of 200+ here. What I see here is a guy with limited knowledge that bought a C2 without having someone who knows the cars inspect it. That along with a misrepresenting seller got him in the position he was in before he came to you. Unfortunately this is the norm in the used car world. How many guys pick up used C4's off a car lot and then find that they need thousands in repairs? It's pretty cool that you helped the guy out and that he returned the favor. I wonder if I'm "one of those NCRS types" ? I prefer matching numbers cars, used to judge NCRS, But: I like to see cars that are driven, even top flight ones. And if you have a car without the correct motor/trans, why not mod it. |
