No worries, Craig. I see a lot of comments about "free" when it comes to California's Lemon law. Figured that I could at least make sure that our forum members know how it actually works (at least in California).
Glad it all worked out for you and your friend, Craig.

I've seen the car in person and have met the owner a few times. Definitely a nice car that I wouldn't mind owning.
I just want to make sure that everyone knows that there was no intent to deceive on anyones part here (except maybe the dealer that sold the car to Scott in '07). We needed to sell the car quickly and neither Scott nor I knew that history. Sorry about that.
Craig, I didn't think you were trying to deceive.
Did you guys end up getting close to your asking price?

I did see and drive the car. The car drove very well. And aside from the repainted trunk lid and a front bumper that had zero road rash (repainted? new?) (though on the left side the black trim in the bumper wasn't secured) and the rear bumper may have also been removed as where the end of the bumper meets the trim it wasn't properly installed, the car looked good. Craig also informed me that the car had hail repair done to it, and it was a very good job!
Had my buddy not inform me of all of the 'new' developments on it from AutoCheck then I probably would have been the owner of that car.
And I'm not trying to accuse Craig of anything either, though I've dealt with my fair share of shady car selling incidents (and I'm not saying Craig was shady) but it is just a sore spot for me when buying a car. It's all in our experiences that decide how we approach certain situations going forward in life, right? I've been screwed by dealers selling CPO's and making false claims on vehicles, even if CarFax shows it is fine. CPO inspections are supposed to check for things as well, not ignore them when you find them. Any way, I digress! LOL
I'm glad he got a buyer and close to what he was looking for. Hopefully, the new owner doesn't have any issues with the car and has fun with it!
I'll get my ZHP sooner or later!
