No, I remember, indeed that was the reason he gave. But all he said was "I have a wife". and I said "Do you really think I'm going to hurt or even threaten your wife?" But I think it was the truth. Not everyone he deals with is as tolerant or non-violent as I am, and not everyone believes "ASIS" means what it says like I do, and he knows that no matter how good the car looks, it might break tomorrow. He's ready to lose a sale rather than tell me where he lives.
I see people on the tv court all the time suing to get their money back on a car sold asis.
As it turns out, all I've spend on it is new brake pads, new rotors, two headlight and one fog bulb. In 3 years, but not driving much.
