That's one thing that I learned too, - if you do not ask about EVERYTHING
*specifically*, - it won't be mentioned by the seller.
Last car I bought "sight unseen", - (which won't happen again unless it's
damned-near FREE), - while it was (mostly) a NON-rusted car, had been hit
more times than Joe Lewis. All I got from the seller was, - "well, - you
did not *ask* if it had any dents".
Duh.
Like I should *have* to???
Evidently.
