Bad Post-Sale Experience with Org Member... what can I do?

[SNOWti]

In the beginning of my introduction to the 318 ti, I was sold one by a member on here, whom at the time, I didnt know he was a member on this board, and he completely did not tell me about numerous problems.

Before I get into specifics, what can I do? In terms of letting people know with his real name what kind of person he is. Would you recommend me telling it like it is?

I mean, I straight up asked him any leaks, any issues with the transmission, all that I asked, and he denied actually were there, the problems. I accepted it was a salvage title, but again, I'll give details about what he said about that title and why it was given to this ti.

I think he no longer is an active member as his profile states last activity in May of '09. He was a frustrated M3 conversion poser and ended up I think selling his ti with no additional mods besides maybe wheels/tires, from what I gathered, tried selling it on here.

Anyway, whats the record on people like this? I paid 2300 and ended up maybe about another 1 - 1.5k on repairs and thats not with any tranny work YET, which may run me an additional 1500 and discovered other bull**** along the way.

I've thought, well, live and learn and I have learned a lot, maybe this was my learning ti, Im loosely planning on fixing some body issues and repainting it.

Want details?

He was one of those people, I realized later, that talk a lot like they know what the problem is and the cost right on the spot... while puffing on a cigarette... you know the type.

Let me know your thoughts. What would you do? The experienced ti owner and true enthusiast and appreciator.
