Is the General Population Stupid or Are They Just Dumb?

I'm in the process of helping my friend find a new car. I saw an ad for a 2003 Honda priced at $3,100. I thought this was a bit odd since I have a 2005 Honda that's worth nearly $11,000. I sent an email to ask a few questions:

Hi, I saw your ad for the 2003 Honda and I had a few questions.

Does the backseat have the latch hooks for a baby/child car seat?
Has the car been in any accidents and would a car fax report be available?
Are the miles mainly highway or city?
Is there a maintenance record available?

Thanks! JP


Here is the email I received back:

Hello there,

I'm writing you regarding my 2003 Honda Accord EX Sedan. The car is in perfect condition, no scratches or any damages and it has a clear title. The car has 83,765 miles on it. If you are interested in purchasing, the price is $3100. I sell the car at this price because I can't enjoy it due to my job (I work as a casino dealer on a cruise ship) plus that I have some personal problems. Regarding the payment I will use only eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program so we can both be protected. I just need your full name and address so i can open a case.(with no further obligation or fees). Please reply

Mileage 83,765
Body Style Sedan
Exterior Color Nighthawk Black Pearl
Interior Color Gray
Engine 4 Cylinder Gasoline
Transmission 5 Speed Automatic
Drive Type 2 wheel drive - front
Fuel Type Gasoline
Doors Four Door

Have a nice day!

Thank you!
Samantha


Um, what? This is all the same crap you had in the original ad (minus the part about your job and personal problems). You seem a little slow, but that doesn't mean I am. Here is what I wrote back:

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking for a car for my friend.

You didn't address any of my other questions. I need to make sure that a child's car seat will be secure (the latch hook question) and also about the car fax report, the maintenance record and if the mileage on the car is city or highway.

I'm sorry to hear about your "problems" but that's not my concern. Also, I don't need to know what you do for a living. You could be a hooker for all I care. You should actually read the email I sent you. Maybe next time you write back you could make the response slightly relevant.

Thanks again,
JP

Am I wrong here? Stay tuned for updates on this on-going saga.... if Dimwit actually writes back.
