I need to trade my car so I can have another car to drive. Selling is my last resort if a trade doesn't come along in 2 months. So I reply to him with this email

@yahoo.com I want to know what is going on. You advertized your car for $3500.-, responded to my son's e-mail with pictures and did not ask him about a trade.* These actions show clear intent on your part.*I have spoken informaly to one of my lawyers who has indicated to me that your actions put you in violation of a number of laws.* You do not missreprisent in advertising. I have enough time into this to realy piss me off.* With the access I have it's not hard to put the car, area, and e-mail address together for a name and street address.* I want this corrected.* I expect you to act fairly, and in good faith.* I expect a response from you to me by Saturday, Oct 11th.* If there is no response by that time I will consider my next legal action.


LOLZ R U SERIUS!!??

Wow , what a duesche bag. Someone find there address or house number for me. I want to talk to this kids father because I know his dad didn't write that email haha and if he did I want to tell him off.
I called the number the kid sent me but all I got was his voicemail so tst have fun.


This is rediculous. What does tst make of this? What could he possibly sue me for?
