Bashing etc.

[Lynn]

I have to say that I really appreciate the "reviews" offered of cars for sale. I have learned more via "bashing" than any other way. When a guy puts a car up for sale and represents it as being perfect, awesome, numbers matching, factory original, numbers correct etc, it had better stand up to some scrutiny. If a guy lists a car that has an obviously swapped trim tag, are the guys in the know supposed to just ignore it? What if a car comes up and you are aware of the car, knowing it was a rebody? Not supposed to speak up? Most vehicles that are for sale are available for inspection. If a knowledgeable guy or gal on this board can point out some obvious flaws or mistakes made in the resto, then it might save someone a pile of money because they eliminate the car from consideration without having to hire an expert to go check it out.

Personally, I say scrutinization is great. Doesn't mean anyone has to get personal. If you put a car on here, describe it fully and fairly, and DISCLOSE known problems, flaws and incorrect items, you have nothing to worry about.

I did not find the original comment by MosportGreen66 to be "bashing" at all. If the car was recently offered, I would want to know what the previous owner said about it.

Just my 02 cents.
