Originally posted by Rouar: BK, I wasn't referring to Airforce's or your actual offers for the car. I do believe it is overpriced and your offers were certainly not outrageous as the seller wants us all to believe.
These quotes are what led me to state against the e-thugging / forum-ganging:

^^ granted your later e-mail(s) to him may have been friendly, but this statement doesn't make it seem so - and you didn't post your messages to him either.

I particularly love this gem:

Okay, so it appears that only Mapoftazi (Pete) actually went and "put him in his place" but from what I read of these quotes I got the impression that more had, especially in such a demeaning tone which I assume Pete wrote (again, sent e-mails were not posted to the board). He made it quite clear in both replies that if you're not interested in buying he doesn't want to talk .. why even bother with the second e-mail? It's a waste of time on your part to try and talk sense to him and also can be regarded as flamebait since it's now very unsolicited.
I don't see mileage being purposely misrepresented, FWIW. The auction matches with the Carfax given mileage, and it is possible the owner did not know of the gauge swap (though I very highly doubt Hector never told him!). It's possible he just plain forgot about that bit since he obviously doesn't care about the car. I don't see the mileage having ever been brought up in any e-mail sent to him by anybody. (Granted it's also possible he's just a scumbag who is knowingly selling with lower mileage.)
I do find it interesting that Hector signed his title dated 10/05 but the Carfax didn't register a new title change until 3/06 .. that "could" support his argument (though is also very sketchy and doubtful). Thanks ESC for the Carfax!
As it stands, the only verifiable lie I see throughout all this is the length of ownership....correct me if I am wrong.
This was my first email...was I nice? NO! Do I give a damn? NO!
You [censored] liar. You haven't had the car for 2 years and you bought it for 3k so why don't you stop with the [censored]. I know the orig owner and he lost his ass on that car! good luck getting 5k for it.
And
You are an idiot! I know exactly what is in that car and you haven't done a damn thing to it! I saw the car last year at this time on a dyno! I looked at the pics and there is nothing new on the car! I am not interested in it! I simply hate [censored] who don't know or understand what they have!
I am done with this thread it is a waste of my time now.
