Well, the only person who used the word 'dishonest' was me, and the comment was:

I'm not accusing you of being dishonest, but your approach to selling your car doesn't reflect that.

If I thought you were dishonest, I would have come out and said it, but there was too much reluctance on your behalf to give out information, and most people would think you had something to hide.

I've been on the receiving end myself. Before the A8, I had a '01 A4 2.5 tdi. When I was selling it, I documented absolutely everything I did to the car, including using Slick 50. I was then accused of trying to sell a car with a knackered engine, simply because others use Slick 50 to hide oil leaks.

Do I think you're dishonest? I don't know you from Adam, so can't make that judgement, and I'm not a keyboard warrior. My initial response may have come across to you as an accusation, but then that's your opinion of my statement, in the same way my response was based on your statement/advert.
