5 years ago I was looking at a 1964 C172; always hangared and in excellent shape for $30K. I was ready to buy except for one thing - the windscreen was original and had many tiny flaws that really flared in sunshine (not good if you are looking for other traffic). My offer was the asking price if the windscreen was replaced or $1,500 off the price to repair it. He refused and got dickish about it. I bid him goodbye.

My opinion...I think that's KIND of the same thing. You weren't interested enough to take it with the windshield as-is. Maybe, even the guy's attitude was a factor...either way, your interest level was reduced..
