i bought 2 cars from this my350z site unseen. they were both perfect. i think its nice buying a car from the forum because people post every single thing that has gone wrong with their car. you get a complete history of the car by tracing back the seller's posts.

That said - inadequate research when buying a car on the forums will lead to issues like this.

^^^^I agree and the OP might not have done enough research but mostly the SELLER kind of screwed him by not being completely honest. I have bought a few things off here and I have been fairly active on this forum, although there is alot of sarcasm and ball busting 99% of these guys I've met are good dudes.

Shoot him an e-mail after to say "just wanted to confirm x, y, and z" so that you have the digital record as well. Calling is going to seem much more sincere and its harder to lie over the phone. E-mail for court, call for expediency.

ok so i got my car 2 days ago and when they said needs new clutch they were right. you can sit and shift threw every gear with out using the clutch as if you had the clutch in there is absolutly nothing left of it. rather then that the car is in nicer shape then what I expected. but the passenger side window has a leveling problem when i put it up with auto it comes back down.
