The seller is not a registered user at this point, and there is lots of bs in the listing. Not one mention about how or if the car drives, only that the engine is a little weak when cold.

This certainly gives him time to remove any good tires, and do no telling what else. I can't remember, did you use PayPal? Saved emails and stuff like that isn't going to help at all.
I am worried for you at this point........

I'd cancel that auto transportation and see if you can get the deposit back through pay pal. Not like he can leave negitive feedback...

Yes, I think I'll just keep out of threads like this in the future. I have bought cars 5 times on e-bay though and have never dealt with flakes like this.

Personaly I'd cut my losses and bail out as soon as possible. Call DAS and see if they can give you your money back, or credit towards a future shipment.

Email the guy and ask for your deposit back.

I have a bad feeling your going to have $1,500 into a total pos, when you get it to your door.

Me just out of curiousity, why must u ship it next monday instead of this monday?

thanks

also how did re-aranging the shipping go?

[SIZE="6"]Him/SIZE]
I couldn't contact nobody there last night but this is the first thing I do this morning.As far as being this monday or tuesday I'll straight that directly with the shipper based in what kind of documents they need(title of the car and bill of sale.I've got your e-mail address and I'll be contacting you with any other details.Thanks.

me
sorry to keep bugging you, but just so im clear

if all they need is the title and bill of sale, you will have it shipped today? monday Nov 6th?

sorry im just really anxious to get this car. its going to be a present.
himI here you the only reason I wanted to contact them is to make sure I have everything they need(DAS).I'm a working person like you and I don't have the time to go to Department of Motor Vehicle At any given time so that's why I wanted to talk to them.Thanks.

me
well as long as u have the car title and the bill of sale, i dont see what else they could possibly want. but who knows. i assume u have the car title in hand

and i am waiting for a responce to that one. it sounds like he is getting less flaky but i dunno could just be me.

welp guys, i was going to go threw with it, but after his bidpay account was suspended i said screw this.... i called the shipping company which refunded my money for shipping. im going to see about getting my 150$ deposit back, but if i dont, its only 150 i guess. this guy is just to shady, i think ill just invest some of the money to make my euro 240D even better, all though i wish it i could experiance the turbo diesel, and the nice power everything... heh on the plus side i got 3 comments tonight. 2 at the bar another at the gas station

as to the other guy, i wonder if he will try and sue me for not going threw with the car purchase, i suppose i can change my mind though, its not like its set in stone that i have to buy somthing if i dont want it right??

I think you are doing the right thing. You cannot be sued, but you may not get your $ back. But I would certainly try.

I would go through bidpay for that refund then, or possibly your credit card co.
