Just curious - were your vent ducts clear, or could that have been the problem? I never knew about those as a potential issue until reading it on this forum. My car had no outward indication of blockage but the stuff that came out with an air wand, pics above, blew my mind.

Exactly - dealer very likely does not have a lot invested in this car - got it at a very low price. If it was a decent C2 (even a 64) he would have paid a fair wholesale price for it and would take care of it accordingly. Got it on the cheap because it has issues and trying to flip it for a quick easy profit.
