"Brief" version: I purchased a 1991 Trooper from Rover classics.com off EBAY @ $5,1000.00 w/shipping,was told to wire payment directly to seller not thru PAYPAL.( first mistake ).As per the description of the Trooper in the EBAY,all descriptions of the repairs made were fraudulent,.(Ebay has been contacted)
the units undercarrige/ drivetrain was presure washed to appear new and spary painted sliver and black...fooled me
the unit exterior was wet to appear shiny/interoir wet to hide stains and faded material
The Trooper was deliver one month later after the sellers request for another 300 dollars( which I wired for added shipping costs as he could not find a carrier to ship the Tropper at our original agreed cost)or storage fees would be applied at 20 dollars a day. The Trooper was pushed off the transporter rig as it did not start, 1600 dollars has been spent to date, replacing ,battery, alternator, oil cooler lines,(tune up) injectors, spark plugs, belt tensioner, differential fluids, transmission and transfer case ,black motor oil and filter...shocks ..tires..( as per Roverclassics advertisement in the add this was all replaced and extensive work preformed by their mechanics..."fraudulent"..add stated original paint (pictures were taken of a wet unit ,making believe the unit was shiny and bright not faded past the clear coat)no rust..."fraudulent again" 3 different shades of white and the front window frame had been rusted (leaked) and covered over in bondo and ALMOND paint., did not disclose the photos of those damages in the add. At is point to recover repair bills of 1600.00 would be compensation..to the fraudulent EBAY seller/Roverclassic description for mechanical fraudulent description of work alleged preformed( noting all parts replaced are kept as evidence,) The cosmetic description fraudulent description at this time I have not sought out a repair estimate to remove the rust and replace the window frame, If anyone or myself, had physically inspected the unit on location they would have verified the fraudulent advertising and never would have paid $5,000.00, I have attempted to have this resolved as gentlemen thru documented emails via Ebay and no response to a refund has been returned,
