^ This is the craiglist ad. The pictures look great, 3L installed by Bagged, low miles.

Hey guys just giving an update.
We both settled down and he's accepted to give half my deposit back when he sells the car, which is way more than I could ask.
I edited out my scam comments since a "scammer" would never send money back to anybody. He's still a little hot headed but we worked it out.
I ended everything on a good note and told him GLWS.
Disclaimer:
The car looks very different from the pictures. Those are 4 years old.
The body is 5/10 and the interior 5/10 up front and 9/10 in back. (10/10 on a 12 year old car is minimal scratches/dings, no rust, large dents, mis-aligned body panels)
The drivetrain is sound, though the brakes felt weird.
The engine is a Taurus engine with 38k miles in 2009.. so it's not a Escape engine with 35k miles
If you want a detailed list feel free to PM me!
Take care guys!
Kevin
