Default why is honesty so damn hard.

well guys i got up early sat. and headed for ohio. i was going to trade one of bikes (2003 sporster )for a 86 monte carlo ss.add #1499207.i thought i would have a better chance of selling the car than a bike right now.more pople drive than ride.anyway my son had been talking on the phone to this clown for a week.in the add he says its a 7 or 8.more like a 2 or 3. he was asked straight out if the interior was faded, ripped etc. he states it great. its faded BAD. says driver seat has a spot that has comeloose in the threading.does not mention carpet is thread bare. does not metion that the dash has a crack does not metion the console top is garbage.now the body. he tells my son that it has a couple of small dings and that the rockers are starting to bubble up but that was it. well the rocker on p.s. was is rusted thru in one spot and you cannot miss it. and where it was bubbling up well theres now a hole where my finger went thru it.just pointing it out to my son.p.s. door wavy with a baseball size DING. t top frame is rusting thru in a few places.many many many chips in paint. ss stickers faded.the car does need to be repainted.the engine is covered in grease. looks like a old farm truck engine.and the pipes emit a little steam when it was cranked up.i just spent $200. to look at a worn out car.he knew all of this yet he let us drive 900 miles total.im busted up not blind.im now in alot of pain because of a useless ride on kentucky interstates(really bad roads). but all this could have been avoided by honesty.i did not do what was going thru my mind and i didnt say what i wanted to say. i just said i think we will let this one pass and left there before i became a a$$hole because that was what i wanted to do. this is the third time in 2 weeks that someone being dishonest has cost us money.and trust in people.my old ways almost came back sat. im so glad that im finding my way back to god because hell was within sight sat.im done ranting now i do feel better.thanks ken @ outlaw steel
