Thank you to whomever instigated the research at CH...I agree wholeheartedly
with Wayne's statement.
Reminds me of the local dealership that sold me a very low mileage '99
Dakota. They didn't bother to run it thru CarFax.com...it came up as
"totalled"...The dealership was reluctant to take it back, and very
reluctant to let me out of the lease...they wanted to replace the vehicle
with a "similar" (?) unit.
A lot of nerve, but no forward-thinking...I will never go there again!
Roger
