This is the weirdest post I have seen in a while. How was anyone supposed to know what this guy is talking about based off of his post?

Unless you can find out why the engine was replaced, keep looking. There are plenty of cars available that do not have a tarnished history.

Then they are hiding something. How can a dealer expect anyone to trust them when they act that way. Oh yeah, they know some people are gullible.
