Can you post a pic or paste a link? I just want to see the car in question and what it looked like?
And I aint buying nothing sight unseen or without driving it, never!

Well I FINALLY recieved the car on 1/30. Was it as described in the add and on e-bay? NO IT WAS NOT! I've been had. Plain and simple. I've e-mailed Golden Classics with my concerns and as of now have had no response. This socalled "preship" inspection missed a few things. No wipers, no e-brake, oil running out of the timing chain cover, dented and leaking valve cover, rear pass side armrest broken, drivers door armrest broken, tailpipe on pass side has no hanger and is banging on the floor, etc etc. I was told the car could not leave until it was "right". They talk a good story, but this is far from my first classic car. But it is my last from these crooks. I got a nice $15000. car.....for $28500. Live and learn.
WARNING! Don't be fooled by these guys. Go look at the car in person. They CAN NOT be trusted.

Larry..sorry to hear that...

you took the words out of my mouth.."Live and Learn"....

i hope you never choose to buy a car sight unseen again...$500 or $35000.

the only good thing i do hear about this is the problems with car are inexpensive quick fixes...i understand you feel it should not have been a problem from the start.....just feel fortunate thats all the problems you have buying this car sight un-seen...

cause remember..what one man considers nice another man may consider junk..thats why you cannot buy something like this sight un-seen

Live and Learn...live and Learn.

Brian

Thanks Brian. I've learned alot from this deal. I will at the very least send someone I TRUST to look at a car that I can't inspect myself. It's just sad that you ask specific questions and are misled just for a $$$. And now that I have the car, I can't get them to answer my e-mails. Yeah, I'm bitter.

I got several pics off e-bay as well as from thier web site. The car looks great in the pics. But could I see any of these problems? No. I was told the car had 0 leaks...wrong. I was told they couldn't fix the e-brake because the backing plates had no holes for the cable...wrong. I was told they would fix the wipers while they waited for the shipper....wrong. I was never made aware of the tailpipe or the 2 broken armrests until I recieved the car (add says "all new interior"). I know these are easy fixes. But to hear the dealer talk, they wanted it perfect before it left thier shop. It spent time on thier lift, how could they check this car over and not see the oil leaks and the tailpipe hanging? The add also says "new tires and wheels". Wrong. New tires on old rusty wheels with a quicky paint job on the outside only. :x
What goes around, comes around. The net is a powerful tool!!!!!!!
