[Rovernet] eBay

[Glen Wilson]

Lance, Lance, in my 21st century one thing I really hate is being called 
a hater. Under any circumstances. It's not funny. It's what people call 
other people online when you don't agree with them. It's mean and 
simplistic, and I know you are not a mean and simplistic person.

Trinity may be a sweet gal, but the time to get your facts straight is 
before you offer the car for sale and reel some sucker in.

What did she say about the mileage? They have a disclaimer in their ad 
saying that the mileage is only what the odometer reads UNLESS they make 
a representation that the mileage shown is original and accurate. Saying 
the car is a time capsule and has only 3100 miles on it is such a 
representation. That's a serious issue.

What did she say about the car having a speedometer/odometer that reads 
in metric kilometers rather than miles?

Lance, since you are defending the seller and in effect promoting the 
car, I'd be interested in knowing if you believe this is a car with only 
3100 original miles on it. Are we to believe the SUs wore out at that 
mileage and were replaced with...what?

I'll grant you it's a well preserved car, though not stock or original 
in configuration.

Finally, unless James Taylor has changed his mind or issued a 
correction, that's a Federal 3500S, not an NADA 3500S, or have you gone 
European with that sort of sloppy nomenclature? Pierre? Pierre? Has 
Lance gone Frenchy?
