Needing reassurance on purchase

[Rainer]

Not to bust your chops any more Grusum, but in response to Jason's question I think that your lack of due diligence (or ignorance - Jasons's choice of words) resulted in your expectations not being met. I don't see it as the fault of the dealer, and trust me, I don't generally have a soft spot for classic car dealers. I read the description early on, and I think an effort was made to say essentially, "Hey, I think the car is nice, but you may not agree with me so come and look at it or send someone on your behalf." That's the cue you chose to overlook, and I think that most people who've bought classic cars recognize that doing so is very risky. If you feel that you've been severely ripped off, I don't think you have a right to blame the dealer. IMO you've severely overpaid for the car given its condition, and I understand your anger about that, but that blame rests with you.
