My friend was satisfied with the transaction and went on to buy something else. About a month later, the dealer lists his old car on eBay with a fabulous tale about how the prior owner was a meticulous engineer who bought the car new in the 1960's and maintained it fanatically by his own hand, drove the car sparingly in and around Santa Barbara until he was physically unable, and then stored the car in his garage for 10 years until the dealer rescued it and brought it back to it's former glory. All fabricated. When it comes to cars, trust but verify.

Great story! And a good lesson for all.
