lied to badly from a long time 912 reg member , sad sad world out there

sorry to hear that, that is horrible...

[Bullethead]

Sad indeed... sorry to see those photos, John. Who did the PPI for you? Would be good for others to know.

well here's the kicker , as the owner (long time 912reg member )and car were well known by the 912 reg and with a search done on both online for the history over a 6 year period and thought hay how can i go wrong , honest guy , up front , well known so did not get a PPI !! foolish me

Ooof. Really a kick in the gut when you are expecting more from a fellow enthusiast. Not that it will help with your situation John, but I'm sure this rust bucket will come back to haunt the seller's reputation in the long run. One positive aspect of the internet is that he won't be able to outrun this shoddy deal. I hope you post this on any site that he might be active on.

well the web is a powerful tool , i would be happy if the guy would if just front up and pay some of the money back . i'm not asking for a full refund because i can't just ship the car back.
So i have to treat this as a resto car and as such it's only worth that.

......I suppose a guy in his 80's, can't bend over too far to look underneath a 40 year old, non-galvanized car.

Especially when the buyer only wants to spend $10K...

I don't get this...????

.....what about a PPI...did you offer to pay for this 15 K miles away ???

[advtracing]

have no idea , but he removed the engine and gear box for repair? so if you jacked up a car to remove the engine and box would you have missed what i found ? also how about the fiberglass repair patches and fresh under seal to hide the rust in the rear torsion bar chassis frame? did i mention that ............

[advtracing]

but you are right in one thing , i'm a @#$%$ idot to trust someone and not get a PPI.
I am to trusting

It is amazing what is presented, unfortunately its buyer beware.

Best of luck
