Looking for a replacement for CruiserParts...

[Droopynut]

I am sad to say that I've had a bad experience with CruiserParts. I never had a problem with them... until they started acting unprofessional, leaving me on hold for 20 minutes...the guy that deals with buying parts trucks will not come to the phone and speak with me and I'm lucky if he ever emails or calls me back.

So does anyone know of any other companies on the northeast coast that buy and pick up used rigs for parts?

Sorry, I don't mean to bad mouth CP but they need to get their act together.

Cruiser solutions maybe? I would give CP another shot, ask for James.

[Droopynut]

Every time I ask for James...the guy in the office puts me on hold for 20 minutes. When I call back I go through the same thing over and over again.

[cruiser88]

I do not like cruiserparts.net......try cruiser solutions

[cruiser88]

I also like classic cruisers ....much so GREAT GUY but he is not on the est coast.

Thanks

After I bought my cruiser I kept Merle on the phone quite a bit (still do)... He is very knowledgeable and my parts have come fast. Good prices too. However - Classic Cruisers is for sale! Great opportunity for any industrious cruiserheads...

oh now i remember you...you wanted somebody to take your 60 months back.....it has been this long? dam

Yeah I was trying to sell it... then I re-evaluated it and realized the frame is pretty rusty along with all the fuel lines, etc...I figure it's as good as spare parts.

Does it run?

[Droopynut]

yeah it runs great...and it better since I tossed a crap load of new parts into the motor. The fuel lines rusted away and I need to get the tank off to repair them but I have a different agenda right now and I just want to get rid of it as is.

Can I ask how much?

[Droopynut]

plus the frame looks pretty bad...It needs a resto and it's just not in my budget.

[Droopynut]

how much for what cruiser88?

If you mean how much I paid for it...I'm ashamed to say

I would like to get well over a grand for it.

[Droopynut]

Everyone on craigslist wants me to give it to them for free...junk yards might want it for free. I have to make some money with this rig. Lets see what cruiser solutions has to say...That is if they respond to my email.

Good luck. Have you tried to sell it on mud yet? classifieds that is????

[Droopynut]

yeah I put an ad up on mud a while ago. no dice.

But that was before I knew the extent of the actual condition of the frame.

I suppose I could try again.

CS is in business to make a profit.

They will also want to give you as little as possible.

You will get the most piece by piece.



Have you considered parting it out?

YEP its a PIA

But desperate times call for desperate measures...

true dat.....but that to is a pain in the rump.

[3_puppies]

just part the big $$ items and take the rest to a scrap yard, scrap prices are really high right now.

Sorry to hear of your frustration with Cruiserparts. I have no business interest in James' place other than the services and products I've purchased there. I have always been satisfied, very satisfied. I've been there, the phone never stops ringing, and I'm amazed at how well they try to satisfy customers. If you want to know more-I mean specific examples of what I speak-PM me. James knows his "stuff" and is beseiged with emails for technical help. His knowlege of Cruisers is almost encyclopedic.
