In fairness to the seller, there may be more than one culprit
involved. I once drove a friend to Memphis to pick up a passat for his
daughter. During the hour or so it took to do the paperwork and
contact the bank and such, I got an eyeful of what was going on. They
had a short row of the raggedest vw campers of all types that you have
ever seen. They had one crew of 20-somethings working to make them
cosmetically presentable by swapping interior parts, etc. Man, there
were messed-up ugly. Then, inside the "control room" were another
bunch of 20-somethings whose job it was to list everything they had.
You could tell they were laying down a formula invented by and in most
cases approved by the so-called management. The kids had no idea what
they were talking about, they just put stuff in the ads that the
owners has said worked before.

I did talk to the guy who ran the WV operation; he was not the same
person who was running the business that my friend was buying from,
thank goodness.

Think of it like a food processing plant, not as a single idiot owner.
