Fellow Spridgeteers,
Since I erred in the words I used in my original message, I will clarify.
The point that I was trying to make was that the description of the engine
rebuild and the costs associated with it in that original message did not
represent a complete and thorough job. Based on the responses from listers more
experienced than me, the example I used was not the best.
Another lister commented that "rebuilt" is a relative term. This may be so, but
to me "rebuilt" carries the connotation that a unit is in substantially new
condition or very close to it.
Looking at this discussion from a slightly different perspective, what
expectation would you have, as a buyer, of a car for sale that had mechanical
parts described as rebuilt?
