Be careful - this car has been hit and is rusty. Seller misrepresented the condition of the car and is refusing to refund my deposit.

I'm sure the snow has done a number on this car. Did the seller not disclosed to you what was wrong on the phone or in person? because the add does say "Running Project"? Personally I think you might be asking to much from the cars you at looking at in this price range. |

Personally I think you might be asking to much from the cars you at looking at in this price range. I talked to the seller for half an hour and he did not disclose that the jacking points were missing, that the rear fenders were both gone, or that the rear clip had been replaced. None of that was discussed and I asked explicit questions about the car ride ever been in an accident. I have notes from those conversation and screenshots of the text conversations I had where the seller made the representations, not appropriate to share them here but I was diligent with the questions I asked. The "project" part of the car was represented to be needing to freshen up the interior and all of the suspension bushings etc. Servicing the fuel system etc. I don't care about cosmetics, but I'm very concerned about structure. Any price point, regardless of how low or low high, does not give the seller license to blatantly misrepresent a car. |
