The comment some people just can't be pleased huh what you'd be pleased with this if you paid out all that money for a car and it turned up with issues you werent made aware of? Come on give me a break.
I too am sorry to hear you ended up with something that was not what you expected, but the reality of any sale on this board(or any other for that matter) is this:
This is the very first "sticky" in the "Cars for Sale" section:

If someone doesn't bother to read that or simply did not care to have someone here look at the car for them, they could certainly pay an appraiser to give them a detailed assessment of the vehicle which would have only cost them a couple hundred bucks which would have been money well spent and much easier than coming to see it themself. Most appraisers are professionals that have a good idea what they are doing and will provide a buyer with a detailed writeup on the car as well as provide detailed photos. I would always recommending personally inspecting any car in person first if that option makes sense(however, it does not always make sense due to distance and logistics).
If anyone buys a car not doing any of that has to stand up, be a man and realize that they and they alone are responsible for having the car checked out before any money changed hands and live with the results if they chose for whatever reason not to do so.
Now on the other hand, should sellers knowingly lie, hell no! But that does not change the fact that buyers should protect themselves.
Unfortunately, there are many people in the car business that are unscrupulous and will go out of their way to get over on someone. That is the exact reason I started the "sticky" above. It was intended to help others if they "wanted" help. Key word being 'WANT". If anyone gets over excited about how a car looks in photos and they don't take measures to protect themselves, they have no one to blame but themselves. Especially when there are so many good people here that are more than willing to help.
Not bashing anyone here because I don't have all the facts relative to this situation. Just stating fact as it would relate to any transaction in my opinion.
Bottomline is buyer beware and know that you have options to protect yourself if you so choose to utilize them.
Just my $.02 for whatever it may be worth to anyone else.:biggrin:
