Stone representcd, but rather was manufactured in 1969.
26.
At aU times relevant hercto, Plaintiffs failed to providc any documcntation to Defcndants
which would demonstrate the year of manufacture of the mobile. Only after litigation began, and
upon the request of the Defendants' attorney, did Plaintiffs producc a photostatic copy of the real
estate tax notice showing the date of manufacture.
27.
Upon inspection by the Defendants, the subject mobile home rcvealed no identifying
markings or inscriptions which would identify the year of manufacture.
28.
Relying on the fraudulent information supplied by the Plaintiffs, and particularly Plaintiff
J. Lester Stone's representation that the subject mobile home was produced in the model year
1984, Defendants agreed to purchase said mobile home and later executed an InstaUment Sale
Agreement with the Plaintiffs,a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."

Subsequent to the parties entering into the InstaUment Sale Agreement, the Defendants
expended considerable time, energy and financial resources into restoration and renovation of the
