Re[2]: Alfa purchase

[Ed Lutz <edlutz@domain.elided>]

I guess since a buyer is to beware that a seller should be too.
However, I think it was nasty. I would have felt much better showing
the owner that the car could be made to run again easily. The fact
that the buyer saw the "problem" and then made comments to get the
seller to come down even farther tells me the buyer is dishonest.
