Ken,

I know my opinion wasn't requested, but having been thru a very similar situation 11 yrs ago (except that I <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">PAID</span></span> an alleged professional inspector to look at the car before I forked over the $$$ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img] ) I can tell you your best bet is to cut your losses and peddle it <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic">now</span></span>, before you get to 'the point of no return' [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Bill......If I tried to get rid of it now, I would lose about 1/2 of what I paid.....So.....With that said.....I'll just put that much back into it(It's gone anyway) and get what I thought I was getting (and paid for) when I bought it.....
It's Funny now (I think), but when the car arrived I called the seller and asked him what the hell was going on with this piece of crap that he worshipped.......He said he was &quot;Shocked&quot; that I was disappointed with his baby...And it pained him to sell it....
So.....I said to him &quot;I'll tell you what&quot;......I'll pay to have it shipped back to you and you keep $1000 and return the rest......So, Basically I'm giving you a $1000 for nothing......He hung up on me.....Imagine that....Such a Deal!!

I like your attitude Ken. Admit your mistake and move on. Or FIDO. (F___ it, drive on.) Pay up and make it your own and next summer when you're on Power Tour and the LS is humming and the AC is blowing cold you'll have a laugh over it all.

Oh, and the P.O. hung up on you because he knew he made out like a bandit. He'll get his someday. Bad karma goes around and then comes around.
