I was looking at a used Honda Prelude in about 1985. I liked the car and wanted to take it for a test drive. As soon as I started to drive away, I said “oh, the clutch is weird.” I don’t remember exactly what it was, but I knew the clutch was going out, not a big deal to fix. The salesman said the clutch had just been replaced, so I asked to see the paperwork on it. He said he didn’t have it right there but could get it. Ok, do that. In the meantime, I want to take the car to my mechanic to have him go over it. Mechanic gave it a good examination and told me the clutch was bad and would have to be replaced soon, otherwise it was a solid car. So I took the car back to the dealer and told him about the clutch. He again insisted it was a new clutch but could not provide any documentation to support his claim. I didn’t pass on the car because the clutch was bad, I passed on it because the guy was lying to me. I would have bought it with the bad clutch if he had been honest about it.
