As you can see the last line in the ad says 100% ready to go. Here's what happen during experience. I won the auction and setup when I could pick up the car. They also mention that they would pick up the seller from the airport. So I talked to Cody and set everything up to pick me up at the Springfield-Branson Mo Airport at 8am. Cody was an hour late picking me up. I even texted him 40 minutes before and told him I was there and ready. He picks me up in the BMW and I noticed a "brake" light on. I asked him what that was. He told me it just came on. Please take in mind my thoughts at this time. I am over 8.5 hours from home and no way back. The plan was to drive this car home. I also needed to be home by 7pm. Ok I can put brakes on it. I asked him why that wasnt mentioned in the ad. He said again it just came on. We get to his office to sign the papers and he told me that he would send the title to me overnight and that I should have it no later than Monday. I will try to shorten this up. I get an hour down the road and the low coolant light come on. I stop and add coolant, drive another 4 hours and a tire blows out. 3 hours later I get it fixed and back on the road now I drive a couple more hours and another blown tire. I am a 140 miles from home at 9:36 pm at night on Friday. $650 dollars to tow me home or up the AAA for a $140.00 more. No brainer up the AAA. I finally make it home at 2:30 in the morning. Saturday I put 4 new tires $977.00. Monday I take it to the Mechanic. Cracked Coolant line,$ 50.00, Valve cover gasket is bad. $885.00,Emissions sensor $925.00 and put new brakes and sensor on myself $154.00. So for the car that was 100% ready to go. I have put a total of $3131.00. I contacted Midway powersports 6 different times and keep getting the run around. I have even sent them all the copies of the repairs. I asked them to take some responsibility.My last communications with them after receiving my faxes was I will get back with you. Its been over a week. I have tried to get this resolved since 9/19/2014 its now 11/11/14. I almost forgot that title that was going to be overnighted well that took 9 days. Which it was a Kansas title? I bought the car in Missouri. I had some issues at the BMV but they had to make some phone calls and got it resolved. Please beware of Midway Powersports in Spokane
