^ common sense is not wasting money to mod a civic.lol

ps: it's not common sense that prevails in the world, its fraud and corruption, innocence is being taken advantage off here, nothing to do with book smart or an MBA, He was saving to study for an MBA he didn't have one, big difference.

So he's just another normal guy with a normal education level who got taken advantage off. Common sense would be understanding this point.

Not the height of wisdom, true. Still, I feel sorry for the family, even though you'd think they'd know better.

when i buy cars i write personal cheques and let the person keep the car until it clears. A contact is written up that states the transaction.

unless the car is a cheap **** box, then ill pay cash
