Buyer Beware!

I made the mistake of buying a vehicle, sight unseen, from this company. I read their description of the car, a 1986 Porsche 928, on E-Bay. The report said that "all their car have been inspected, and are in Excellent mechanical condition"Needless to say, this could not be furthur from the truth. When the car was delivered, it had to be jump started to get it off the truck. The shifter came off in my hand. There was no Passenger side view mirror. The rear hatch did not latch. The air conditioning did not work. There was no key to get the wheel locks off. There was no tool kit for the spare tire. There was no spare tire either;so that worked out. The list goes on and on. I contacted the dealership and was told that they were shocked by all the problems and to send them an estimate of the repairs. Since I am a mechanic, I gave them a list of prices for parts only, willing to do the work myself. My estimate was $500. I was then told that the car was being sold on consignment;and the owner would have to approve any refund. I did receive a refund of $375., to their credit. I was also told that they did have the spare tire and would ship it to me. Needless to say, three monthes later, no spare tire. I even E-Mailed the owner, hoping he could straighten out the spare tire issue, but surprise surprise, I never received a reply. It would have been cheaper for me to fly to California and inspect the car myself, and not buy it. Oh well, education is expensive.
(I'm still looking for their 100% feedback on E-bay)
