I don't think someones' level of respect should be what we base purchases on...

Personally, I'd rather buy a car based on my respect of the people who know the car and have owned it, than from someone I'm not sure I trust but has "alot of paperwork" with the car. Earlier, When you were inquiring about a camaro you had prior knowledge of, and felt the need to "go public" with the info, did you have paperwork to back up your claims? No, but you had the word of people you knew and trusted, who had owned, and were associated with the car...and based your judgement on that. I really don't see how that's any different than buying a car based on the respect and knowledge of the car's history from previous owners. I always have looked at paperwork as being an added "bonus" to a good car, but just as I've seen legit cars without papers, I've also seen alot of questionable cars that had stacks of it. I'm sure you have too. JMO.
