What info would I get then if I paid someone from the forum to come and look at a potential purcahse for me? Would I get the straight story on the car (all potential inconsistencies disclosed to me) or would a get a politically correct, watered down version to avoid problems for the "expert"? Keep in mind that the car you may be paid to look at may be one someone you are friends with owns. I understand your explanation, and appreciate the fact that you recognize that my intentions are good....but still don't understand what is more important truth or keeping the peace. Even if you can't prove something, if inuendo exists....I should be told. If what Belair is saying about the liklihood of an offline message coming about potentials questions about a specific car is correct, I am ok with that. While it may not be a matter for public discussion, as long as someone is willing to step up and give information when asked, the system works. I guess the short question is this....If I had said that the Camaro with the VIN that started this whole thing was for sale and I was thinking of purchasing it, would someone come to me offline and give me the "history" given here? Or, would I have been given a rubber stamp saying "yes, that VIN is a valid one for Yenko #xxxx" end of story? There is a fundamental difference there.
