no, but i do like the options you are giving.

if you can reduce anyone's argument to the absurd by all means do so...but i'm still waiting....

let the buyer beware. lol, including mothers with life savings on the line.

if my mother enters a deal, she has to use good sense or she may pay too much. if she sees the car and the mileage is not what was originally stated, then she can act on that and start renegotiation, not complete the deal, argue, sue, not do anything, or whatever.

i'd be more concerned if my mother went to a new or used car dealer and overpaid without realizing there can be a good deal of negotiation. but this kind of stuff happens all the time. people overpay for things.

people pay more than they should sometimes, but the relative value of what they are getting may still be there.

would i be upset with the neighbor?

i would wonder what his reason would be for being there. if he was invited to help my mother make a decision in buying this car, then he should help her and share what he knows, or he would be deceiving her. but if he was not a friend of my mother's and happened to be there, then i would not expect him to say anything unless she asked him something about the car. then he is expected to tell the truth.

but the case we have here is someone who is not invited. someone not there at all. someone out of the blue.

i'm saying that people need to use their own sense. there's enough information there alone. you don't need outside intruders complicating the picture.

but the main issue is not that. the main issue is whether the persson should INITIATE contact to other parties because he has information about something that is being sold. i say that it's none of his business. once the item is out of his hands, it's not his business to delve into. unless there is some type of very serious misrepresentation.

which i don't believe this case is. if i was e-bay i wouldn't bother either with the concern.
