[T3] Muffler wars....with Bugcity


<x-charset ISO-8859-1>Fellow listees,

Help me out here.  Read from the bottom up, my email to Bugcity and their response to me.    I asked you all about a week ago what parts these numbers are for.  Mr. Adney responded the the 061F was the late model muffler and the 341.251.061B number was for the mid years muffler.  I think it's laughable the response I received from Bugcity.  Thought I would share. Who's right here?

TIA

>>Bugcity: 

>>I received the NOS German Volkswagen VW Type III 3 >>Muffler (eBay Item # 601626331) in good shape at my >>house last week.  Thank you for your prompt >>delivery.  I'm satisfied with this transaction except >>for the fact that your item description on eBay >>listed this muffler as "German Made with a nice >>finish p/n 311251061f."  The muffler you sent me is >>not p/n 311251061F (which is the part number for the >>late model {'72-'73} VW Type 3s), but rather p/n >>341.251.061B (for model yrs before '71).  

>>I own a 1972 VW Type 3, for which I purchased this >>muffler for.  When I saw your auction for the correct >>muffler for my car (as indicated by the part number >>you provided) I made sure I won the auction.  

>>Did you send me the wrong part?  If not then I feel >>you misrepresented the item you were auctioning.   I >>really didn't want the mid years muffler with the two >>piece tail pipe.  I wanted the muffler I thought I >>was getting (based on the item description) through >>your auction, for which I already have a one piece >>tailpipe.

>>I have yet to leave any comments on your eBay >>username.  I am waiting to see what your response to >>this email will be, and what, if any, retributions >>you'll be willing to make (i.e.. sending me the >>tailpipe that fits this muffler).

>>I look forward to your response. 

>>Thank you, 
>>James Bowen
