Buyer Beware - Rick Ehrenberg

Thanks for all your comments. Some of you have dealt with me over the years, most have not. A few salient details:
- I'm not going to say how much I paid for the rebuilt motor, but it was not top dollar, nor was it $600. Since Rick put it out there how much I was looking for in compensation, you can do the math.
- Rick said the engine builder died several years ago (well known in Mopar racing circles in southern NY/CT). He (Rick) specced the motor for the builder. From Rick, via email correspondence on 6/16/17: "I didn't build it, but I know the guy who did, well respected, real Mopar guy, now pushing up daisies. I have 100% confidence in it."
- I told Rick I did not think he personally left the engine exposed to have that much condensation accumulate.
- And because it ran, I'm not looking for a full refund (why would I?)
- Rick was made aware about this back in July, but he was having some personal issues so I gave him 60 days out of respect for that before I asked for some compensation.

While I do not disagree with caveat emptor, I treat people the way I want to be treated. He said he'd stand behind it, and that's where I draw the line. He never countered with anything (money or parts), even though I gave him several attempts to do so. Its a cold world.
