Actually some sellers post the car was sold and people still ask for parts hoping someone will have it and then after one or two new posts people do not bother to go back and see if the car is still out there. I have let people know about 3-5 year old strings where the OP posted the car was sold. If someone started parting out a car 3 years ago I would not expect them to still have it. I usually click down in the bottom RH corner to first post and see how old it is then click on the last post to reply? But watcha gonna do?
