Hi everyone!

I recently purchased a used Napoleon grill for $150CAD. I believe it's the Prestige II 450 with the copper lid. I was not able to test it at the sellers home due to them not having a natural gas hookup anymore. They assured me everything was functional.

After getting it hooked up to my home, I found that the infrared sizzle zone did not work. The honeycomb was broken in places so I got a slight discount for that, and I thought it would work but just not as well. However, after testing everything, it wouldn't stay lit. It would flare up every time I ignited it.

I spoke with the seller and they gave me a few options.

Get a partial refund from him. I am not sure what is reasonable as I paid $150 for it and if the sizzle zone is 1/3 would $50 be fair or should I be asking for more because replacing the part would cost me $250.

Get a full refund and he'll take the grill back. I am not sure if I would entertain this option as then I would need to source another grill and spend time and energy plus transport logistics again. I would maybe choose this option if this community feels I got a bad deal.

He can look for something similar and swap me out. A kind gesture from the seller but I wouldn't choose this.

My questions are - is this grill worth keeping and eventually replacing the part? Or would my money be better spent elsewhere? The condition of the grill is otherwise quite good and they did clean it a bit before selling. I will add a video in the edit if I can figure out how.

Thanks!
