The car WAS repairable but the original owner demanded a new 'Max. Fair enough. So would I.
You seem to be aware of the situation regarding Aeomax 38 - do you work for MMC, the insurance company or were you very friendly with the, now deceased, owner? Equally, are you the vendor of the car in question?
For reference, the situation you allude to has happened to another car and it did not play out the way you've written it on that occasion.
I'm looking forward to one of the people who think it is such a great car, at a very keen price, putting their money where their mouths are and buying it. As for reputation following the vehicle, I hope so because it deserves to.
As for the RS analogy - anyone who buys one and is incapable of doing the basic checks, isn't buying with their eyes open, nor having it inspected by a professional (anyone worth their salt will have access to the RS book by Dr. Thomas Gruber and Dr. Georg Konradsheim and this would flag up all manner of warning signs if your tale of that specific car is even partly true). The same could be said for this Aeromax; get it inspected and call the relevant people (including the factory).
