Im really sorry this happened to you...


There's always two perspectives to every story. Not saying buyer is wrong, but I sense expectations were wholly unrealistic...

No one buys a 30 year old car, and expects it to be a reliable daily driver on no budget...

That's just not what these cars are...

Post some pics on here...

The front clip was replaced? Or some part was welded?

I almost sold my 930 when the motor started acting up. Truth be told, the car is in really good shape and I did tons of work on it. I didn't point out any of the good stuff when attempting to sell, pointed out all the bad. And I made it painfully obvious that under no circumstance would I take the car back, even if demons flew out of the exhaust.

Pretty much turned buyers off, I suspect, and got low offers. I'm ok with that.

But I did that intentionally. To avoid exactly this situation.

You buy a car unseen? That's problem lays at the buyers feet... you are taking a gamble. The risk of mismatched expectations is huge.

Talking about lawsuits is silly nonproductive talk, unfortunately. I have tons of judgements in my line of business, good luck collecting.

Take a deep breath, learn, fix the car, and make it a life lesson...

So sorry...

Now, if there were true fraud on the part of the shop... you may have some recourse...
