Full amount of vehicle is due in 7 days. Please pick up or ship car within 1 week of auction's end. If you are local, nd can see the car in person, encourage you to come out and see it for yourself. Photos can only show you so much. Don't come out to "see" the car once you have won the auction to see if you LIKE the car. Once the auction ends and you are the high bidder, ou are the legal owner. (check the ebay rules). If you are the high bidder, nd for whatever reason do not get the car, ou forfeit your $200 deposit. I don't know the previous history on this car, ust what I know personally. I go through the car and do a check list of what is working or not, nd any defects. I also drive the car for a few days to see how she "feels". Car was bought from a local gentleman and Title is in his name. IF OUT OF STATE: Check with your local DMV (before bidding) if this is OK. If your state requires a title in the seller's name (me), hen please don't bid. (unless of course you have someone here in CA to title it for you). Please consider this before bidding, it is YOUR responsibility to check. Please bid responsibly, his is a binding contract.

This car is totally drivable, ut you assume full responsibility if you want to drive her a long distance. I am selling it as is. These cars are bought at a local benefit sale where the proceeds go to good causes. Most cars come from affluent communities where the owner's buy a new vehicle and donate there "old" one for a tax write off. I've been buying cars at charity events for years and everyone makes out. I try to be as honest as possible about these cars and list what I know, ut I'm not a mechanic or body repair person. I have done this for years and everyone has been happy with the cars. I HAVE 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK, ostly from cars on ebay. If you really need to call me, o ahead, ut I've described it as best as I can: 818-272-1112 God bless and hope you love your car purchase. **NOTE** If you have "0" Feedback, lease don't bid, 've had too many flakes in the past. |
