Default Re: RAIV and RAV more continuation....

Steve ,

The people I have spoken with worked at GM at the time and they were talking about the Pontiac plant, it was a huge facility and still is.

I am not going to be negative in any way shape or form. People that are considered experts regarding Pontiacs have stated that "No Pontiac left the factory with a RA V installed" Among those experts are John Sawruk and Jim Mattison.

In life if you do not have concrete evidence to support a statement and I mean paperwork not verbal story telling from the past you lose credibility in any endeavor you are pursuing. Facts and supportive documentation are imperative whether you are buying a high dollar car or making a sales presentation to the board of directors a company. I cannot go into a meeting and make a presentation and discuss ROI and life cycle costs etc., without facts and supportive documentation.

That is all I have said all along unless there is documentation in the form of original paperwork to support a RA V engine installed at the factory then you must then assume it was installed at the dealer or even the original owner dropped it in.

All of the cars discussed previously are very interesting and have great history, I have the utmost respect for their owners and in no way am I speaking in a negative fashion about them or their cars.

Everyone here knows how I feel about this topic and I consider it a moot point unless original documentaion surfaces. Respectfully, Mike
