<VV> Buyer Beware

[Dennis Pleau]

Jack, CORSA does have a dispute resolution procedure.  Look in your
Directors policy manual.  It gets used, not sure how much, we only hear
about the times someone on the VVs use it and discuss it online, which they
probably shouldn't be doing.

Dennis Pleau, Former Director.

My search found that there are no buying tips, disclaimers or dispute
resolution processes offered when buying anything from a CORSA member listed
in either the Communique' CORSA Classified or at corvair.org Online
Classified Ads. It is the practice in many organizations to warn buyers
about ads.
The Corvair Parts & Repair Specialists list in Communique' does contain a
disclaimer that "CORSA neither endorses nor accepts any responsibililty for
the products or services . . ."
and the list is controlled by CORSA Parts and Repair Chairman Larry
Claypool.
Online ads are posted through the Membership Center, and there are no
controls listed for either number or frequency of ads posted by members, and
buyers have no information if ads were placed by full time or part time
dealers.
Complaints or suggestions about CORSA policies should be made to your
division director.
"Caveat emptor" is common sense advice, although many states have consumer
protection statutes which may offer buyers some relief.
