People may have been harsh, but honestly if you're spending that kind of money to buy a car, or anything for that matter, it's always a good idea to gather information about the purchase in advance. I wouldn't qualify a post saying "I'm buying this car in 2 hours" as doing research ahead of time. I do think had he, or she, posted this just a generic question much further in advance, acknowledging their lack of information on the vehicle, the response would have been much gentler.
