Ahhhhh, there’s some detail finally!
You’ve been around the block so I’m surprised your surprised you saw a used car that was misrepresented? What’s the surprise?
Was the non sociable man the owner of the car? If so, why are you asking others who the owner is? You spent some time with him and was able to read he wasn’t all that truthful. Do you need others to confirm that? And if it wasn’t the owner, why wouldn’t you be dealing with the owner if you actually were going to buy it (assuming it wasn’t misrepresented)?
