Last month, I bought a car on e-bay from Hot Ride Motors, disguising themselves as L.A.R.S. Group and "Bob." Although I did not have time to order a professional estimate or to inspect the car in person, I messaged the seller through e-bay to inquire about the condition of the car, a 1982 Mercedes Diesel. The seller informed me via e-bay e-mail that the car was in good condition and had no repairs that would be required any time soon. The car's history was one of "no damage report, " "no accident report, " so forth. So, I placed the winning bid on the car—as time revealed, more of a loss than a win; and as directed, I sent a quickly cashed check within a few days of winning the auction.
Before picking up the car, I requested a receipt from the seller. The receipt read that the car was not roadworthy, contrary to my anticipations from previous correspondence.
