Neil, I'm sorry you you weren't pleased with the car. At the end of the day it's a 10 year old car with 42K miles. While I don't disagree there are small flaws, your post is overstated to say the least.
The price was negotiated lower and agreed upon before you ever came to see the car. Your tactic of offering even lower and then bad mouthing the car on the forum to drive away other buyers isn't appreciated.
After discussing your post with the owner he has decided to resend his offer to sell you the car at any price. Good day sir.
