Just thought I would let you all know about the buying experience I had with eightsecv6.
Bought his Typhoon on ebay-
eBay Motors: GMC : Jimmy (item 230204086667 end time Dec-20-07 16:17:06 PST)
Sent him the deposit the next day. He had a cashiers check for the rest within just a few days. (and this was right around christmas)
Asked him to send me the title which he did not want to do. Just said "well, why don't I just put it in the glove box?"
When I flew in to pick up the truck I'm handed a title that is in someone elses name along with a lein release from thier bank. (which happened to have the wrong vin#) Never was I told the title was not in Bills name. I got pulled over for no registration on the way home. (entirely my fault because I did not register the vehicle) but the car got impounded because I had a title in one guys name and a bill of sale from another. Bills friend was very helpful in driving me around and helping me get the car out of impound, which they were very reluctant to do. Many thanks to him he was very helpful to a stranger in a situation that had nothing to do with him.
Lets go over the condition which is nothing like what was described in the auction. The whole front end including the drivers front fender was repainted. Hood was painted but so dull it looked like chalk. Every piece of cladding has big sections of paint actually peeling off. And yes, their are dings on the truck including the roof. The only reason I bought the truck is because it was described as having ABSOLUTELY no rust. Well, the bottoms of the doors are rusted out as well as rust in the a-pillars and floor pans. Not horribly bad but certainly not rust-free as described.
Interior- very very clean which disguises the year of the truck? Lol, not even close, not clean at all.
Claims the truck has no vibrations but the front propshaft was destroyed. The truck was vibrating on the highway horribly. Felt like constantly driving on speed bumps. Not to mention one of the front steel brake lines blew out on the highway due to, you guessed it, rust. (which no one could have predicted but I thought I would mention it since it happened) Also, the idler arm was so trashed that steering was nothing more than a mere suggestion. This is all after he told me the truck should be in great condition to drive home.
After I got home I mentioned the issues with the truck to Bill, telling him it wasn't as he described and got no response. After never recieving a response I left him feedback saying the condition of the vehicle was misrepresented. He then responds trying to make it seem that I'm just salty at him because the truck got impounded when in fact I made no mention of that, or that the vehicle was in someone elses name. I only mentioned the condition of the vehicle.
Sorry for the novel but I'm just frustrated with the fact that I bought a vehicle that was not nearly in the condition that was described with a title in someone elses name and in return I end up with negative feedback.
