Who's to say you aren't being taken for a ride by the body shop. Auto repair places aren't known for being on the up-and-up all the time (to over generalize). I'm sure it's your buddy and all... It seems to me that they are the only one with something to gain by lying in this situation.

Just my opinion. I'm sure you can work it out. We would all like to see some photos.



i've been using this shop for 15 years now... often enough between my brother and i that not only do i trust them, but they give me better pricing and service than any other. they are the experts, and i will always defer to their judgement in these matters. my brother trusts them to work on his pristine '65 caddy, his '02 saleen, and i trust them to work on numerous show and race cars of mine that i have had worked on.

and as i said, i will have pics up tonight.



anyone who has dealt with multiple body shops or stereo shops or whatever shops that work with cars will know that practically no two shops will see eye to eye on everything and will always think their work is far superior to the other guy's work. in other words, its possible that Johnny's guy believes the work to be sufficient while your guy does not.

imo, if mx is willing to pay the shipping to send it back, then take it back. it sucks to take back sh*t youve already sold but in the interest of keeping the peace between two reputable cegers.....
but if you feel adament that it was exactly how you described and that he is being nitpicky beyond reason, then stick to your guns. ive had this happen a few times on ebay. believe me, the fbi and paypal wont care, especially the fbi. you got exactly what you paid for, there is just a disagreement as to the level of condition of the item. if he said it was brand new and unused, then that could constitute fraud. the fbi is faaar too busy to settle disputes between two guys over a chipped mirko.

ps whoever ends up with the mirko, there should be plenty of buyers willing to buy an already painted mirko, despite its "condition"
