I was watching this auction and was a bit surprised it didnt go for more. A bit of an impulse buy but I won at the end. Yay me. It 90% seems legit but there are some strange red flags and communication issues with the seller that make me concerned its a scam. If it is someone is going through a lot of work for a $500 deposit. I had facetimed with the seller and saw the car and title, but that call also got abruptly cut off. Anyways - I’ll keep everyone posted here. If it is legit and the car is as advertised I hope to do a minor refurbishment and drive it! powdercoat wheels, new 165 tires, new bushings/shocks/springs/struts/tierods, calipers, hoses, new dash, and whatever else pops up. -Steve |

I'm still not sure if the car was worth the price, but as the saying goes, "it's worth what someone's willing to pay" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
Glad to hear you weren't scammed, and hope you're satisfied with the purchase when you have it in your hands. Based on the build of your orange car, I'm sure you'll do a fine job sorting out the new one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
