Would be a nice world if everything from the factory were right, out of the box. Probably wouldn't need warranties much in that world. Real world is different, as you know. So QC misses a couple of things and the dealer was lax in PDI. You're lucky they were minor things that could be easily fixed.
Your expectations are too high for the reality of what is acceptable end user product in today's world of crap out the door/fix it under warranty. You are bound to be disappointed in most any thing you buy these days- I'm actually a lot like you, the difference is I want the seller/dealer/factory to make it right and not waste my time and more of my money.
How much time did it take to do the turbo conversion from start to finish? Fact is you paid for the repair already by buying new. So in essence you've paid twice to fix it once.
Choosing not to vote is a whole different situation. It's not relevant to this tractor thread.
The turbo including every piece I bought or made was $1,000 not including any time.
I bought a new Jetta TDI in 2011, it never had any issues except recalls, it was delivered as promised.
I bought this 2012
L3940 and the day I got it home the radio was cutting out.
The next week I hooked up the new snowblower (from the same place) and they failed to tighten the hoses they made for the chute. OIL EVERYWHERE.
1 month later I was using the FEL and the third function remote THEY INSTALLED blew a plug that was never tightened by them.
When the weather got cold it wouldn't start, keep in mind this machine sat on their lot all Winter. Now THEIR pre-delivery report states the glow plug system was checked. Maybe, JUST MAYBE the relay swapped itself out during the Summer?
This same dealer quoted me $5,900 for a dump trailer. Their sister store said they could beat the price......by 50 dollars.
The dealer 10 miles down the road sold me the same trailer for $4,800 dollars.
Now I don't want to make too much of an argument here but YOU figure it out!
Do you think I'm going to buy another piece of equipment from them? NO, that's right.....NO.
Just because the level of commitment in this country has gone to heck in handbasket that does not mean I don't expect what was promised. Attention to details might be lacking for some but not for all.
If 4shorts fabbed up a piece of metal with bubble gum welds all over it and took fancy pictures and posted them here what would you think of his work then? Would you say his attention to detail was good or bad? Would that be ok given the standards set forth by the rest of the world?
Am I too fussy? I guess you have to figure that out for yourself.
Regards and not mad but I'll keep being fussy thank-you, Fred
