bad deal

[Trip]

Yep, get in touch with Gordon.


I hate that another ol boy is opening up his hunting store inside of Chuck's. I hate going into that schit hole.

Does it show on the receipt you paid for a 2010? I think I would contact Mercury. Wont cost you anything, and they may solve it for you without it costing for a lawyer.

[SFDdelta1]

From what I've always heard this seems to be "par for the course"

That's the way our dealings went with them.

+1 on that


what did the paper work say? 2008 or 2010

I would think that if it says 2010 that would be fruad and would need to be reported to horn lake police dept

yes it says 2010 got two copys.i send mercury a email.i am like trip wish they had not moved in.mercury said could be four days before i heard anything.

Not coming to Chuck's defense because I would have told you the engine had been made in 2008. Starting about 2006 Mercury no longer went by year models. A dealer could have a new non-current engine in stock and the day it was sold it becomes that current year model.

That seems malicious itself. What if the 2010 has several features on it that the 2008 didn't and that is one of the main selling points to that particular customer? Saying a it's a 2010 doesn't morph the motor produced in 2008 into having the "2010 model" features. Not attacking you miket for shedding some light on that, if it's true, Mercury has f'd up, misleading way of doing business....but hey, they're black . One more reason to buy a Yammy.

I would talk to the dealership before getting a lawyer. Most likely you can get this handled all on your own withoug dragging a lawyer in it.

He has already talked with the dealership, to no avail. Get a lawyer.

I don't know exactly how they work it because I don't sell engines but it applies to a series of years when no changes have been made to a specific model. If a 25hp stays the same from 2008-2010 and in 2011 the make significant changes, a 2010 can't be considered a 2011.

[RobertM]

Please keep us updated on the outcome of this.

[twodollars2]

all i know the motor says made nov.2008.so i guess its a 2008-2010 just dont seem right.wish i could talk to chuck way out of town some where.

[LODI QUACKER]

Dont you have a period of time to take back a product in MS, Like a "i am a DA with buyers remorse, That shouldnt have bought this 2011 caddie" or something.

Maybe you can use that and tell em to screw themselves.

[Coastrat]

The fact is you paid for a 2010 and I would assume that motor was built in '08. Either way, If you went to sell that boat today, I wouldn't think you would be able to get anything close to what you paid for it. Obviously the boat and motor automatically depreciate the minute you pull off the lot, but yours just depreciated by 2 years! There's noway anyone would pay you a '10 value for a motor that was marked '08. I'm no lawyer, but I would think you have a pretty good case and should easily be able to prove a financial loss. Don't know what you paid for it, but the '08 has an average retail of about $2,300.

I think all Mercury's are the year model of the year you purchased it. It could have been made in 2008 and purchased in 2010 thus making it a 2010 model. I think Merc did aeay with year models a few years ago.
