Here too, if you want to pay for it.

See: carfax.com

 MvdV> The report can be 100% accurate and some part can still break.

No shit!? What gave you your first clue?

 MvdV>>>>> No matter how skilled and trustworthy that person is, he/she
 MvdV>>>>> can never judge if I am going to *like* the car. Only I can
 MvdV>>>>> judge that.

 RW>> Then you have no business buying a car where you can't depend on
 RW>> someone else to judge it for you.

 MvdV> As I told you, I would not buy a car that I have not test driven
 MvdV> myself.

See above.

 MvdV>>> I am not interested in rare old cars. I want a car as a means
 MvdV>>> of transport. There is plenty pf local supply, so I buy
 MvdV>>> locally.

 RW>> Then why did you enter into this conversation?

 MvdV> Because no matter how you twist it, this was not about rare old
 MvdV> cars. See the subject line.

In fact it was...I don't look at new cars on Ebay, I look at old cars and
that was and still is the subject. In most cases here and throughout
Fidonet, the subject content changes while the Subj line doesn't...

 RW>>>> Unlike Europe, in the US we have the freedom to select vehicles
 RW>>>> from dealers, dealer used car lots, independent used car lots,
 RW>>>> dealer auctions, reposessed vehicle auctions thru banks, credit
 RW>>>> unions, wholesale sellers, private sellers and the list goes on
 RW>>>> and on.

 MvdV>>> Eh?? What makes you think we do not have that freedom here?

 RW>> If you do, you would have mentioned them.

 MvdV> Why mention what goes without saying?

Why bother to enter a conversation that you have no idea what was going on
in the first place?
