An ignorant, naive flatlander perhaps, so long as you don't bother to mention multiple recals ..

I get the impression Ed is not that kind of person.

That is actually how my wonderful Honda Civic was sold. My wife wanted a new car, and I acquiesced because of the Prius. One of our two cars had to go, and the obvious one was the Subaru. Only problem was that there had been 3 or so instances when the engine had died during driving over the last couple of years. I could not withold that kind of information from a prospective buyer, and I couldn't imagine anybody buying the car knowing it, at least at a price worth considering. I thought quite a bit about just *giving* the car to someone in need, but in the end the Honda was sold.

Happily, the people that bought it are good folk, and will appreciate the car like I did. The experience was somewhat similar to finding a home for a kitten.
