(Almost) Nobody here question the legitimacy of making money dealing cars. It is the duplicity that is the issue. Why not come clean from jumpstreet? Why not do an introductory post like this:
"I just purchased a great condition early Long Hood T that has not been driven in a while. I plan to get the car in good running condition, protecting its originality, and then place it for sale. Would appreciate any advice from those familiar with these cars on areas I should address before marketing the car. I'm looking for upgrades, repairs, and maintenance items that offer the best return on investment for me and a prospective buyer. Thanks. Mang."
Is that really so hard?
Sure, some people may be unwilling to help a seller, but I expect folks would still offer advice, and would appreciate the candor.
And if he is looking for a "soft sell" -- then he is at least starting the contact relationship from a position of integrity, which is nice to see in a vehicle transaction.
