New buy, no return policy
I am negotiating a sale with a reputable, but small dealer for a pair of new Acora SRC-2 speakers. I have heard them in the showroom with comparable electronics to my own and loved the sound and design. The show room was only slightly acoustically treated.
I'm ready to throw down, but the dealer does not have any kind of return policy if, for some reason, they dont work out in my own space. I dont feel comfortable with this policy but wondering if I am just being too entitled? Other dealers from which I have purchased new speakers have had 30 or 60 day returns, no questions asked.
I also have the opportunity to buy a used set of these speakers from TMR with a return policy (minus 5% ,restock) if not satisfied. Of course the used price is considerably cheaper but there is no factory warranty and although they are stated to have had own owner, their age and provenance are unknown.
Any guidance, opinions or advice?
Bugatti was owned by VW until recently when it was sold to a Croatian company. Renault saved Nissan, they practically run it with majority shares. So every Nissan on US roads is just as French as most French cars in Europe, design and profit-wise very much tied to France. I am absolutely not interested in discussing the French attitude. I just know that French cars are way superior to GM or Ford or Chrysler, quality-wise. Never owned either but rented and drove 100s of them. |
@gano Yeah, nothing says French cars like Nissan. 🙄 Relatively few Nissans are even made in France, and none of those are sold in the US so your argument is bogus. Bugatti is registered, headquartered, and built in France regardless of who owns them and are the only cars built in France that sell in the US. If French cars are so good why don’t they sell in the US, one of the largest car markets in the world??? What a great business decision BTW. When French cars were here last they sucked and were a joke, which is why they had to leave — nobody would buy them they were so bad. Regardless, you are wrong and there are more US made cars sold in France than French made cars sold in the US despite your import tariffs being 4x higher. |
Yeah, well I guess my argument wasn’t as dumb and simple as trump’s tariffs. But it was 100% factual. Renault is a French company, it has majority ownership in Nissan, Nissan has a zillion things in it designed by Renault. It might be news to you but every single big brand car has parts designed and made in 10s of countries. Renault does not need to sell Renaults in the US to make money from US buyers. They can just sell Nissans and make money at it and not care about what Americans think of France or French cars. You can go to Tijuana and see Renaults that look identical to Nissans with a Renault logo. It’s a branding issue. Just calling me wrong didn’t make a single fact I said wrong. And all the best to you, I am done with this tangent. |
inna I think you're missing something here this wasn't an online transaction they OP lives near TMR this was local and delivered and setup. Can't ask for better service than that. I visited TMR when I was in Boulder visiting a friend they were as nice as could be and gave my friend a discount for coming in and not buying online. Congrats on your new speakers @mintakax ! |
