MAYBACH German Staff Car QC question

Post by toyktdlgh » Thu Sep 14, 2006 12:35 pm

Has anyone else purchased this car? I have bought two in the last month because they were priced right and both have had broken parts. Both cars were completely sealed and never opened. One car had a broken upper control arm on the front end and a both king pins were busted. It also has a missing door hinge. The one I just got has a broken piece that mounts to the top. Both cars were new in box. Has anyone had QC issues with these cars before? I was able to fix both and there better than new now. I just though this was a little strange considering both cars came from different parts of the country. Thoughts?

I have one and have no problems. Got it off Ebay in a sealed box. Makes a nice display. Bob

That is weird. My second car had the broken parts in the box but the first one didn’t. The steering parts were just gone along with the door hinge pin. Strange. I’m sure the box was unopened.
