Gui,
First off, we did spend tons of time on the phone. I also remember asking you over and over again if the car had rust and your response every time was "no". The only time you mentioned rust was the light surface rust on the floor pans and interior door panels. We all know you can spend a small fortune repairing rust, and that is why I wanted to make absolutely sure this car was "rust free" as you had clearly stated in the title of your FS ad as well as confirmed to me over the phone.
In regards to the price and my comments, you are absolutely correct...the price was very fair (in fact more than fair)...if only the car had been what you made it out to be. Its not even close to what you represented. A show car? Come on...really? Do you honestly think I expected a show car for $18,500? What I did expect was a car that was rust free with a driver quality paint job. As evidenced, I didn't get that either.
As far as Mike is concerned. He is a friend of a friend that helped me out by taking time to meet you and lay eyes on the car. The intent of him looking at the car was not to completely inspect the car but rather to meet you and make sure the car ran. I didn't have him bother checking for rust because you assured me there was none. Plain and simple we are both at fault...you misrepresented the condition of the car, and I made the mistake of believing you. Pictures don't lie and you simply tried to throw everyone under the bus, except yourself, for the items I started to uncover once I had the car. None of the items I've shown were pointed out to Mike.
Since you want to give the audience all the facts. Why didn't you take me up on my offer to return the car with me paying return shipping and throwing 3K on top just to get out of the deal? Not very confident in what you were selling? I totally understand now why you didn't take the deal.
I applaud you in trying to salvage your reputation but its shot as far as I'm concerned. You definitely had me fooled Gui. It won't happen again.
Jason
