I had a few communications with Chris and he never represented any part
to be new. He said he had a lot of used busses and at that I realized
that he was selling used parts. If he's got new parts he kept it a secret
from me.

When I commented that he must be wrecking out a hundred vans, he said "I
have the land and I like VW Vans and busses so I have a lot of them"

If you want to buy from someone else you should do so.

If he's got something I need, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it but with any
used part it's mostly buyer beware unless you can just run across town
and return it.

Most of my used parts sources guarantee their parts for various time
periods but its never "money Back", just another of the same part. I
always go prepared to check the part when I buy it wheather it a fuel
pump, blower motor, injector and of course there are just visual checks
on many parts that is sufficient.

I always cruise my local used parts sources before I start buying from
the local VW dealer or Foreign Parts Suppliers.

If it wasn't for used parts many of us would be using our VW Vans And
Busses for storage buildings.
