Money don't equal smarts...
True that. I definitely do not agree that EVERY seller is a liar in some way.
Sure there's always a couple bad apples, but I don't buy freshly painted cars from guys that sell anything and everything.
This guy bought in despite what his spidey-senses were telling him.
I've been there. When you want something badly but something is just "off."
I've bought and sold dozens of mopars over the years and in my experience 90% of sellers have told me every detail they possibly know. This includes cars I have not seen in person. A phone call to the seller can go a long, long way. If someone acts weird, lazy, or is a dick on the phone, I'm out.
Many sellers are just not car people and don't know anything about cars in general.
