I am very surprised to see people still will buy a car from another area with out having an independent company inspect it. Why will you trust a sales man? Haven't people learned yet?
The car was about 22K, the repairs where 12K at the dealer. Very posible, not as the owner says imposible.
Look, do yourself a favor and if you are buying a car in So Fla, call me or any other professional car/truck inspector. You will get your money's worth. Do not trust the salesman brother or send your uncle who used to be a mechanic 40 years ago, cars have changed quite a bit.
Avoid hassels, legal complications. Spend a little now instead of a lot later. More over, the money you spend on an inspection is ussually returned when you get a rebate on the car/truck's price thanks to what was found wrong during the inspection. The inspection could be free.
Go here to find out more. Or call me directly for an appointment:

Well 1st off I have bought 4 vehicles from ebay. Ranging from $150.00 all the way to $5,000. As with any other place you buy a car it is what it is. You could have easily gotten another crappy car locally from an individual. NEVER NEVER NEVER expect anything that is advertised as excellent to be pristine. As with ANY used car you have to expect things that will have to be replaced. $12K for repair on a Mercedes? ANY GERMAN high end auto will cost you thousands for repairs. Routine brake jobs on a benz will usually run about 1500 at a dealer and the parts are outrageous. Wht do people get stuff on ebay. Mainly because they cant get things locally. I just bought a project car that i looked around for a lot. Sure i have to drive 200 miles to get it but there wasnt anythng local. Maybe the books and dvd's that i got for the kids too that you just cant get at local stores. It just isnt full of crap that people are trying to unload.

I looked at many cars, and one minor detail or another usually killed my interest in each one. Until I found a 1 year old Honda Accord that "looked good" and had a "good writeup". So I bid and I then had the winning bid that was nicely below the Black Book and NADA Orange Book. Everything was quiet. 30 min to go, 15 min to go, 5 min to go..... Oops. 5 minutes before close the auction was canceled by the seller. So the buyer cannot back out, but the seller can. Did not seem right, so I sent an email to the seller. Seller responded that the price simply was not high enough so he killed the auction. Well, gosh, isn't an auction supposed to determine the true price a willing buyer would pay? Seller also responded that at least he was honest because he did not use shills and that many other car sellers on ebay motors do use shills. Live and learn. No more ebay motors.

Why do people sell stuff on ebay? Because it's junk. It's as simple as that. If you have a rusty old car that nobody wants, your only way out is to find some sucker on ebay to unload it on. Good stuff sells to local buyers. You don't have to wait for any ebay auctions. But, the garbage that nobody wants has got to go on ebay. Either that, or get the junkyard to haul it away. I don't know why in the world people continue to think that they will be getting this great deal-of-a-lifetime on ebay. Maybe, maybe, I could see risking $5 or $10 on something small. But, to think of purchasing something like a car? And, especially for twenty grand? The absolute most that you should have paid was junkyard value. Hundreds. Not thousands. Where is this big savings here? Whatever. No matter what you tell people, they will always go right back to that trash dump and continue looking for those great once-in-a-lifetime bargains. Like I always say, the fraud stops when the money ends. Once people exhaust all their savings and max out their credit cards, they'll be forced to do the correct thing. That is, look at the pretty picture on ebay, and then click the little box in the upper right-hand corner. That's all it's really good for. Looking and reading. As long as you never actually buy anything off the internet, you will never end up in this situation. I've known people who have sold stuff on ebay. They all laugh at the buyers and call them idiots. I once went to look at an RV that was listed on ebay. It was local, so I called the guy up and got directions. The photos looked great. And, over the phone, the guy told me that it was a low-mileage, clean motorhome. So, I show up. Guess what? Ex-rental unit. Smoked in. Somebody must have had a dog in there for a while. Broken window. And crashed fender. Junk. Not even close to book value. High-mileage, ex-rental fleet junk. A million people took that RV for the weekend and beat the hell out of it. There's your big ebay bargain! And, that shows you exactly why the trash was on ebay in the first place. In person, $2,500 max. On ebay, $18,000 plus shipping. I pity the fool that ended up with that albatross. Whatever. The only way out that I can see is to put the thing back on ebay. Let that one of a kind junker get passed around until everyone on ebay has had a chance to see it in their driveway. Eventually, some kid will get the things and think that he got a great deal. Once that happens, problem solved. Another satisfied buyer! I can hear the ebay jingle playing in the background. List the vehicle the same way that it was represented to you. As for the title, give em Shahin's number. Cross your fingers, and hope. That's your out in this ebay scam. Good luck. You're gonna need it. On a positive note, you may have prevented a few thousand cautious people from getting stuck with junk. Millions of people come here. After they read your horror-story, they'll never even think of buying anything off of ebay. Plus, you gained some leverage with the junkyard that sold you this crap. As soon as the search engines pick up this page, it'll come up every time people google the name.
