I tend to get very moralistic about such things and think... What if it were me buying the fake. Having said this we should definately help our friends but are we social crusaders who have made it our life work and ambition to fight unjustice. Do we seek out used car lots to offer assistance. Many of us have also been burnt when purchasing used cars at some point in our lives. A personal judgement call here. However, upsetting and getting blacklisted by a dealer should NEVER be the mitigating and/or deciding factor. Screw them. Any decent dealer worth patronizing will stand by their wares and will ask you for information when you challenge their item(s). We have discussed dealers previously. cheers, Ryan
