But mine is a m204

I'm confused now. I think you mean W204. That's the code of your C63 model. The engine code is M156 which is the 6.2L NA engine for the C63.

prockprincess

Yes, that is what i meant but i dont think 2009 engine is compatible 2011. Correct me if i am wrong..

JPetros2008

it is. 2008-2014 should all be the same I believe.

even some of the older e63/cls63 engine's (before they switched to the bi-turbo versions) should be compatible.

prockprincess

The engine on ebay says it's not compatible with 2011 c63...

It's still the same m156 engine, but in 2011 they switched to updated head bolts

not really shocked what happened to you after reading those reviews...

JPetros2008

they have their phone number posted on the auction. my last bit of advice will be to just give them a call and talk to them tomorrow and hopefully they'll be able to answer all of your questions. whatever they can't answer for you, i'm sure someone on this forum will be able to answer. there's a bunch of great guys on here, but you owe it to yourself to do your due diligence moving forward.

I know, right! Crazy!

This guy is asking for $3000. What do you guys think?

There is nothing "right on the money" about that "legal" advice. It it wrong on so many levels I wont even bother. To the OP, do not get a lawyer to go after a bankrupt company. If you get cents on the dollar, it will be when you have grandkids.

For the layperson such as myself there seemed to be a lot of good input and not much legal advice. Can you please share why everything is wrong? I'm sure lots of others would like to know as well.

What do you think of this?

Any thoughts?

If the ONLY issue is the broken ac mounting tab then that would not be a deal breaker for me....the tab is still mostly intact but most importantly the machined top and threads are still in place...this means that the tab could be built back out via TIG and then machined back down to flush with the original machined surface...then the threads retapped using the original remaining threads to act as a guide and insure plumbness....additionally, that member has 50 posts and is still posting on the boards about other topics so I don't feel he's just a scammer

....And as for the other I'm very curious as to the response as well

Sure. I could type a book, but I type slowly, so I'll summarize a bit. First, every offense, criminal or civil, has certain elements that need to be proven. Fraud and theft are not even close to the same thing. Fraud involves a statement known to be false with intent that the other person rely on the falsity. There is such a thing as civil theft, but I'd have to look up the elements. Hiring an attorney to file criminal charges makes no sense in most contexts and most jurisdictions. Criminal charges are filed by government entities - local DAs or the US attorney.

But there is also the practical aspects of filing suit in any circumstance, especially when you are crossing into bankruptcy law. In most cases you have to file a claim, and get behind all the secured creditors. Any suit by a private individual is usually a big headache unless some lawyer will take it on a contingency, which no lawyer will do for 35K or against a defendant who likely has no money.

I have been a trial lawyer in a 400+ lawyer firm for more than a quarter century and if this happened to me I'd go outside and yell "F***" real loudly and then get on with my life. I would not sue.

Ok, I can run with this....

He IS the victim of fraud, 107%, no ifs ands nor buts about it. He was offered a warranty for a specified amount. The dealership accepted the funds and then made the conscious decision NOT to supply those funds to the 3rd party warranty company, thus meaning that they did provide false and misleading information with the intent of monetary gain WITH intent.

Laws governing the actions that can be taken by the injured party can vary greatly from state to state, as I would hope you would be aware. This is why i stated that IF it were me I would seek the services of a reputable attorney near the DEALERSHIP itself as they should be most familiar with the state laws governing the jurisdiction where the dealership finds itself. With this in mind that attorney should know where and with whom any actions would need to be initiated.....

This is not a pissing match nor will I participate in one over a de minimis issue such as this message board banter....I also will not back down from the original opinion I put forward, it is sound and would serve well no matter where administered....but I, along with everyone else appreciate the input and opportunity to squid pro row

I don't view it as pissing match, it's just a discussion. He may very well have been a victim of fraud. I didn't mean to suggest he wasn't. But not as you describe it exactly. You'd have to prove they knew they were not going to apply the money to the warranty at the time they said they would. Maybe so, maybe not. Therein lies the rub. And the deposition of the guy to find out will cost about $2,000 not including the lawyer. But don't get me wrong, if he hired me to represent him I'd assert a fraud claim, and several other things. There's almost no question if you actually tried the case you'd win on some claim, even if not fraud. Conversion, civil theft, outrageous conduct, whatever else I could think of. But that does not change the fact that you are running after a probably empty purse in bankruptcy.

Best of luck to you

I'd try calling Eurowise or GMP in Charlotte and getting their thoughts... I'd imagine that could be spot welded... But they can probably provide better advice than any of us.

Personally, I'd have a tough time ditching the car. I'd probably look into an engine swap because that seems to be the best way to minimize loss at that point.
