Just a bystander or byreader through this posting/questions...I didn't read any negativity towards the PO, I thought I read a few posts say that a lot of the time the PO doesn't know what the PPO had done to the auto. I had thought about selling my squareback I just drove back from CA last year...(glad I didn't-I really love this car) but if I had sold it a few months ago-there would be a lot of things wrong with the car that I would not have disclosed, because I am just finding out about them now....that is the nature of an old vehicle-why a one owner car should have more knowledge. It is kind of like the kid's game operator....as the car passes hands-stories get lost/confused or forgotten....Generally I don't think there are that many people who knowingly sell a car with a lot of problems-without that bad karma coming back to haunt them in some future endeavor. -kevin '65 kombi '71 sqbk somerville, ma -----Original Message----- From: vwfye@frontiernet.net [mailto:vwfye@frontiernet.net] Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 1:28 PM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: RE: [T3] More confusing things, at least to me the vehicle in question was sold to the current owner with full disclosure of what I knew. if i knew something, i told him. i was the second owner, the original owner gave me a lengthy history of the car (which i passed on), and did not include any conversation about an accident. in turn, i drove the car as my daily driver, took it all over the PNW for car shows and the only change i made was to the engine timing, carb adjustments and had the rear raised a single outter spline. did i know every nut and bolt of the car? NO... did i disclose everything i knew at the time of sale? YES! I have sat by quietly reading about the PO this and the PO that... well, I am the PO, and if you know me, you know i don't go around deceiving fellow VW people (or anyone else for that matter). And for the record, I have not owned this car for several years now. I will no longer be involved with conversations about this car on the list. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
