Sorry guys, 
I can see a train wreck coming with buyer like that.
I can see him having learning issues, then calling and complaining about everything...
We seen it to many times with custom cars gents....

Gord sounds like your prospective buyer in under the impression he's purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle from Auto-Nation. People like your perspective buyer as Steve stated are not right for highly modified from stock automobiles such as is a mid-engine V8 Corvair. How badly do you need to sell the car? I suggest you walk away and invoke the right to reserve refusal of the sale. I've been down this road, save yourself the grief of having to sleep with the guy... ADE

Car drives straight, stops good, all glass good, all lights work, horn works, all new wiring, new tires, etc. His list of wants in order to certify are, new steering rack( I have one), all new rubber bushings front and rear, engine has oil leaks( B.S. just did all gaskets- its the steering pump that leaks) no defrost fan, wants new rear brake hardware( brake shoes are fine), antifreeze leak (one small intermittent drip) no neutral safety switch, leaking front wheel cal (good to know), engine cover must be metal and did not like the seat belts.  So much for Crown originality. A lot of these issues I'm aware of and want to fix as I go but for him to certify the car has to be pristine! I'm feeling a little pissed! Anyone else running into this crap?
