first off, that took way longer to read than needed. did this guy not go to school? or did he skip one too many english grammar classes and not learn to use punctuation marks such as periods? i mean i dont capitalize my letters, but hell i at least know how to separate my sentences. i kinda want to sent him a text saying "use '.' to separte your sentence. and i think you are in standing in the world record for the longest run-on sentence."

Whenever I see something like this it makes me wonder how did someone so dumb come up with the money they obviously have. It just goes to show that an education is over rated.

Called him up. It's some Polish guy. Which explains the grammar..
And if you're considering buying this car I already talked him down to 28k. You're welcome.

bare in mind that works out to about 25k, not really far off price wise. Obviously you can never expect to get back what you put in it. And only doing 7k miles in 4 years?! Why bother?

Not sure why so many assume that everyone speaks English natively...
