Well if it makes all of you feel better. I was had for over $7k on a car. Year ago prior to Carfax I bought a 1980 Porsche for $13k. The guy I bought it from had it apraised and all the papers for it. He told me it had been stolen once and the interrior had been taken.
The car was beautiful and ran strong. I enjoyed it for a while and took care of it like it was a bar of gold. When I sold it, Carfax was in the picture, and the person who bought it did his homework. The car had a salvaged title that I did not catch, mostly due to ignorance at the time. I tried to get top money for the car and all places would only give me $5k for it. I eventually sold it the first guy for $5.5k and almost cried. Of course the wife never let that down till the day we got divorced.
I hope no one here can beat that because it will only make me feel better but you worse.
