To your point Mr. Yenko, could this all be somewhat resolved and out in the open if the person that sold the car who appears to be an active member here repost the ad? It is interesting that there have been many ads posted over time by the seller but this one is curiously missing from his profile history, that being the case one has to assume that there is some interpretation of the ad that may not align with what the buyer experienced.
Everyone has there own idea of "excellent" or "untouched" or even "correct" so you need to be careful about that but to infer a vehicle is in excellent running condition or a clutch is performing well when it certainly appears there were top end and clutch issues, makes one wonder about how honest the portrayal of the vehicle actually was.
In this case, I hope everyone realizes that you have to assume a car needs work and you have to assume a seller is going to be less than up front about some aspect of the vehicle. Not always the case but needs to be the general belief going into any sale
