I don't think you have to disclose everything little thing that's wrong. Some things are obvious -- the buyer can see them by just looking at the car -- faded paint for example, or worn carpet. Some things have been "broken" for so long you genuinely forget about them, maybe the glovebox doesn't close quite right etc but you never use the glovebox and you just don't remember to mention it. I would not consider that to be deceptive as long as there's no active attempt to hide something. If a buyer wants a perfect car they buy a new one, anyone buying used should be prepared for some wear and tear. Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230
