Re: Buyer Beware - Read this thread before buying on ebay or here
Huh...
Painted wheel well liners? Check. Overspray in the engine bay? Check. Painted roof section? Check. (Always a sign of a previously black car with a repaint) Horrible tape job (evident around the windshield)? Check. Misaligned headlamps, waterfall and hood? Check. Yup, BAD repair and paint job. "Honest eBayer" didn't mention that, did he?! LOL! Thanks for the heads up! ~M

I should also mention that the sale of this car on ebay was brought to my attention by Green1995SVX, as we had both seen and commented on this car in the past. Credit to the connection being made should go to him.

Yeah. Between you and me and the light post, I wouldn't touch this car. I've seen it in person, too. I don't think the owner of the car is out to scam anybody, I just think that he thinks it's nicer than it is. Know what I mean?

Via eBay... "Any accidents? Why the repaint?" "no accidents/ acid rain spotted the paint, wouldn't buff out!" Yeah, NOW he's a scammer. eBay username rumblestrip007 ~M

Re: Buyer Beware - Read this thread before buying on ebay or here
Yeah it really looks like it was in a wreck given the misalignment in the headlight area. This stinks. The guy is a friend of a friend of mine.

Sorry to hear that. Times are tough all over. Even good people can make bad decisions from time to time.
BTW your SVX and A6 are gorgeous!!! ~M

Re: Buyer Beware - Read this thread before buying on ebay or here
Sent our eBay friend a message suggesting that if the front end damage was repaired properly, he shouldn't be afraid to disclose it, but since the paint looked like Maaco, maybe the repair was cheap as well....
"you can think whatever you want,and you are correct about the paint,but there's no front end damage, or any other kind of accident damage! What I'd like to know is why such a car expert is wasting his time looking at $3000 cars for! Guys like you belong at Barrett-Jackson, not bottom fishing on Ebay!" OK, BudFreak called me a n "expert", too...Am I missing something?! I'm an enthusiast, and I understand a lot of the "theory" behind stuff, but I'm no "expert"...I don't think? Anyways, I think I ruffled his feathers. Boy should have been honest from the start. ~M

Re: Buyer Beware - Read this thread before buying on ebay or here
The easiest way to check for accident damage would be to run the VIN on Carfax, no?

Re: Buyer Beware - Read this thread before buying on ebay or here
You know, I truly respect this community for how much they care about others. Nowhere else would you see a car enthusiast group go out of their way to make sure ebay ads are honest.
You guys rock, really. -sz (Edit: Sorry for the troll post, but I just had to say it. :-) )

Re: Buyer Beware - Read this thread before buying on ebay or here
I made a deal with member name: YourConfused. Because He had a bad experience with Vineland, NJ before I made a deal with him for complete wring harness that he will pay for the shipping and after he receives it he will pay the difference. So it’s been 4 days when he got the package and I been trying to contact him and I did not get any response from him. So I just want to see how is that people who taking about you the most are not keeping their word and taking advantage of me proving that I am not a scam.
