Scammer? Ripoff? I was contacted via email by the man from Australia about the possible purchase of my MKIV. He advised he was a collector and cobra lover and was looking for a car. I emailed him with a price I would accept. He emailed back and indicated he thought I was asking too much for the car. I reminded him that it was he who contacted me, that the car was not actively for sale and that if he didn't want to pay my price, I really didn't care. I came to find out that he is a dealer of muscle cars in Australia, specializing in cars he imports from the USA. The other MKIV he mentions above is currently for sale on his web site. Had he been up front with me about being a dealer, I never would have responded to his email to begin with. I don't know why some people think that telling a half truth is ok, especially in the car business. Like my momma told me, "son believe half of what you see and none of what you hear." John
