Buying original mb parts is not keeping it broken, it's keeping it original. I don't want Chinese parts on my 123 period. I don't really care if they work better. Honestly I have my doubts that they do.

Folks that insist on the racist attitude that only junk is made on the Eastern Rim have chosen not to compete in the world econmy, they's given up the race before it starts! Get out there and fight! Fight to bring our costs down and our quality up. When we win those battles, we'll win at the market place. I'm betting that M/B world sources based on cost, quality & delivery. If they don't, they will fail and the consumers of high quality autos will have to look elsewhere. Anyone care to comment on who is going to pay for the Toyota mess?

I have sold at least 400 of these "cheap" Chinese axles and 3 of them are under the recall. Someone forgets to say that the recall is for 2 months production in late 2009 compared to 10 years production. Does Mercedes have a better record? Not every one can spend tens of thosands of dollars on 30 year old cars. Let's remember that Gary and I buy from the same 5 vendors and offer the same quality parts. ------Original Message------ From: Gary Hurst Sender: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com To: Banned List To: Mercedes Discussion List ReplyTo: Mercedes Discussion List Sent: Feb 5, 2010 7:02 PM Subject: [MBZ] cheap chinese part recall turns out those cheap chinese axle shafts that you guys have been purchasing are being recalled for safety concerns. I'm glad I resist the temptation of 300% profit and don't sell that kind of product. i think a certain vendor sells those every single day, but i'm sure he doesn't want to worry you guys about something as minor as a chinese axle shaft coming apart. i can't emphasize it enough -- stay away from the chinese junk! it is only being sold because even priced much lower than original quality products, the profits are still astronomical. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
