alex,

Not trying to butt heads, but I said it wasn't an original engine 
because you yourself stated it in a previous advertisement for the 
vehicle. Then to list it for sale and not even mention it seems 
kinda fishy. Most eBayers have no idea of knowing this until after 
they would buy a car, and that is information that looks bad if not 
presented up front. Not saying anything is bad about the engine, 
just the fact it isn't mentioned causes concern. I saw about 10 
pictures of the engine close-up on your old web page where you were 
selling it for 11k because you thought it had an oil leak. So yes, I 
have seen the engine close-up.

And the comment about washing, if someone can't take 2 hours out of 
a month to present a vehicle for sale in a semi-clean state, then 
how much do they really care for the car? It just makes the ad look 
bad, and regardless of your schedule, listing a filthy car makes it 
look bad on the seller.

When you list a vehicle for sale, and put photos of it up, criticism 
is just part of the territory. Using the old claim "I', too busy to 
wash it" for the pictures is just plain lazy. Unless you work 20 
hours a day 7 days a week, most anyone can squeeze in an hour to 
wipe off the crud on the car.

The list is not badmouthing you directly, just generally on the 
person who lists a car in that state, the same as I would anyone 
else who lists a car in a similar fashion. everyone gets treated the 
same, when they post an ad in a public forum.

Best of luck selling the car though. It would look better on your 
part if you were just upfront with everything in the first place.


Good Luck,

Joe OBrien
