    I test drove a 2003 ***** minivan they have posted on ******** marketplace. Every time I went over a bump it rattled. So I pulled over and looked under the van. And it was rusted so badly I dont know whats keeping the engine cradle in place. Someone tried to hide all the rust with a lot of undercoating but I imagine it probably cracked from the engine cradle moving. I could actually put my finger through what should be solid metal in the floorboard. I dont know if they knew about it before I drove it. But they know now and its still posted for sale.

    All of the structure is fine.  The vehicle has been sold approximately 3 weeks ago and is being driven around daily.

    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because: he messaged me trying to make me look like i'm some angry guy just out to get him. i am angry that he is such a dirt bag that he would do that. but he admitted that he bought the van and tried to sell it to me knowing it was  rotted away. and he sent me pics of a van as supposed proof there was nothing wrong with the van. that's not the same van. at least not the same underside. I know what i saw. that's not it.

    Sincerely,
