hey GG, did you read this review ?

HORRIBLE! This was one of the worst customer service experience of my life. I got one story on the phone about the part that I need still being in a lightly damaged truck that they had just received and that they would pull the part and have it ready for me, then I got a very different story when I got there. The part they had pulled for me looked like it had been sitting in a field for years. When I told Patrick (slimy slimy guy behind the counter) that I didn't want the part from the field he grabbed a gun. I'm not sure why. I found this to be very strange and changed the whole dynamic of the conversation - I felt like I was forced to take the part at gun point. Patrick then told me that I would be charged a 30% restocking fee. I had not even taken possession of the part yet. I ended up leaving there with the rusty part from the field because I refused to pay the 30% restocking fee plus he had a gun. I'll never do business there again and I plan to tell everyone all over the internet about this experience.

at the end of the fleabay page is :


This is a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire 3.2L V6 engine with 55471 miles, we will give you a 6 month warranty from time of install with proof of install from your mechanic. We have pre tested the engine before it was pulled from the car. What you see in the photos is what you get. We can ship this part anywhere in the US, just send me your zip for a freight quote. We are a reputable auto salvage yard in the state of Tennessee. you can visit us on our website at Raceway Auto and Truck Parts and call, or you can text me direct Gary 731 438 2380 for any questions about the engine or any other engine that you may need. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

I went to the website and clicked the map lookup. In the left pane of that is a feedback thing.

If that happened more often the recession would be over as sales would climb.

Hard to decide whether to deal with Mr. Smith or Mr. Wesson behind the parts counter ....

Ahh I read it, an unidentified customer with no references... I would dismiss this review right off the top.
I tend to agree, a bit too dramatic I would say ...

did you notice the MAF & housing was missing ?

The bottom of the front view picture is looking straight at the position where the alternator was.
