Why would you put it in that way.

He's a car dealer, he's bought it when others had every opportunity to do so but didn't and now has it listed for sale.

I'm not a fan of used car dealers Jim. I'd sooner see a forum member getting a bit more money for his car than a dealer taking his undeserved cut for doing SFA

Whether you're a fan or not has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.

The car had been for sale for a considerable time without any takers.

With respect, I would suggest that this sort of comment directed at a particular dealer shouldn't be made, especially when not in command of the full details.

Purely my opinion Jim, I won't try to justify it here. It is in no way specific to this dealer. He may be the nicest man on the planet for all I know.

I respect your position so I'll leave it at that.

In fact, I rescind this comment. That wasn't very nice of me. I don't know the guy and its easy to be judgmental from afar. My apologies.

Thanks for your further comment Ross.

This is a very suitable time to bring this particular thread to a close as it has now served it's original purpose.
