That's not an excuse though. IMO, it is the job of the seller to properly represent the car that they are selling. Their first mistake was posting the modification list that the former owner provided to them.
I am actually surprised that the dealership told you to talk to the former owner when you found out the some of the parts were missing. As far as I would be concerned, if I sold a car to a dealership my obligations to the new owner are non-existent. Are the dealership and the previous owner business partners?
The whole thing seem like some shady stuff! Good luck!

Yep, you're right, I should've.
The problem is, the car was on ebay, and I accepted it. They said I
could've denied it. I signed an 'as is' paper, but all that really says is that I can't come to them when something breaks. Misrepresentation is a different story.
The dealership and the previous owner were business partners for a short time. When Scott sold the SRT to them, he purchased an evo 8. I got the impression that he detailed some of their cars, but than flaked out. I also get the impression that he likes to lie, and flake out on a lot of stuff. He lied straight to me on the phone, and I knew it.
