77Birdman that very same thing happened here at home to a rather wealthy farmer friend that goes to our church.
He was at the B-J auctions about 4 or 5 years ago and plunked down cash for what he thought was the Vette of his dreams.
That dream turned into a nightmare after the car was sent back here and he was able to really go over it. He is mechanically talented and knows his way around cars. He told me that they wouldn't let him really look the car over when he was there, that they rudely ran him off. I didn't know they would do that.
He cusses those guys every time we bring them up at the coffee house
