Larry,
I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that the least trusted people in America were politicans and used car salesmen. Sorry don't remember the exact order, not that it matters much, since you were both at the bottom of the heap.(LOL) I, at the time, had bought an old Chevy from a used car saleman and remembered that I completely agreed with that statement. Well it really helped me in life, or so I thought, because I started buying new cars only. But as I grew older, and wiser I determined that instead of getting screwed out of hundreds of dollars, I am now probably losing thousands. To make a long story short, don't worry about the moniker as much as the person. I think I could trust you to buy an old Chevy, or a new one. And if you knew me, as my wife can attest, (She won't walk into a showroom with me) that's saying a lot.
Good Luck
