has anyone ever traded a car before?

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

i did this with my new rocc.  traded an a2 gti vr6 to get it.  my new car is 
finally getting up to speed, but i think i got the bad end of the deal 
there. that gti was sweeeet... anyway. advice: get a written list of 
EVERYTHING wrong with the car.  have him agree to pay or whatever for 
anything that he misses when you see the car. if the car is sight unseen, as 
mine was, don't be afraid to walk away if the car isn't as he described.  my 
car had a lot of little (and a couple of not so little) things wrong with it 
that he didn't mention. when i brought it up with him, he kept saying, "what 
do you expect? it's an 87..." or "what do you need heat in atlanta for?" 
(seriously).  well, i expected it to be PERFECT, like he said it was. but 
for sure get a list in writing, with recourse if it isn't as described.  
what's this guy's name btw?
