    What a dickweed. He likely was getting the sinking feeling that he made a poor decision with his vehicle purchase, but instead of accepting his error he chose to take it out on you.

    I'm sorry he ruined your day.

    This exactly. I can't tell you how many people have ripped me a new one, even while saying "I know it's not you," while being a total dick. Only to call a few hours later or the next day to apologize.

    I will say I may have enjoyed breaking that news. But this was 25 min into this browbeating he was giving me.
    Lack of thinking on his part. Pre-purchase inspections go a long ways. My heart bleeds peanut butter for him. I'll argue for only so long with someone like that before I let them take their junk elsewhere. Those kind, if they finally agree to the higher price, will be a thorn in your side for a long time. I had another smart one from Carson once. Had a CJ7 that he lifted at the hobby shop I guess. Had manual steering, and one of those cute, useless, tiny steering wheels. Brought it in for an alignment because it drove poorly. I drove it, it memory steered horribly and was difficult to control. Told the GI before I started that I won't be able to correct that angle, he would need to take it to a 4wd shop for custom work. I swear to god, he told me that he can strip M16's, so he knows things mechanically and he knew that all that jeep needed was a toe adjust. Ok, your money pal, whatever. It had -2* caster, yeah negative 2 degrees, lol. Tweaked the toe, drove the same, and he got pissy. Some guys just don't listen.

    Ordinarily, a flood car is a total, even if it's cosmetically ok, due to the probability of pretty much everything electrical failing due to corrosion...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Agreed. If he recently bought it and the title isn't marked SALVAGE he probably got hosed by someone for some decent coin. Most of those involved in the car business know Colorado is considered a title washing state.
