By the way, I love these questions, you see to get them on all forums: "I have a Toyota, do you know who sell parts to these vehicles, or, I drive a Ducati, what dealer sell spare parts, or Kawasaki, Peugeot, or what ever? Good Fun!  | |

Posts: 850 | RE: 460 rust issues 4x4abc - 6/5/2007 3:24 AM Hey G. J., be happy that many are not that smart to realize that Mercedes parts could come from a Mercedes dealer - etc. Enjoy the advantage of having figured that one out (and a few others along the way) and say "Thank you!" to them. As often as you can. Because it ensures you a better job, less competition and more money. Harald, I must compliment you, (seriously), you have the diplomatic gift to be able to tell someone to "take a long walk on a short pier" and .........they will enjoy the trip!  amzimmy  Edited by amzimmy 6/6/2007 3:02 AM | |
