[QUOTE="Tuhminatuh, post: 17016018, member: 204874"] Hi everyone, this is Adam, the BaT auction winner. I’ve privately shared this with a dozen or so people on Facebook already that have considered looking at and buying the car. Now, I hear the seller is telling people I “didn’t show up and decided to buy a lake house instead”. Nice. So here’s my now-pissed-off warning to anyone considering buying this car. 1. Won the BaT auction, rented a truck and trailer and drove down to NC to close the deal and trailer home 2. This comp orange cobra with 5k miles had an insane amount of surface rust that really wasn’t shown in the BaT auction. Lesson learned: even a hint of something worth digging into and you should move as quickly as possible during the 7 day BaT auction to clarify. I figured with 5k miles it must be close to perfect, maybe a couple spots here and there. 3. Spent 20 minutes going underneath and around the car and snapped pics of everything because I knew I’d need proof to try to get my BaT fee back. Also noticed plenty of poorly touched up paint chips on the front end (no pics of those, unfortunately.) 4. Somehow the seller never thought to add to the auction or let me know before I spent $2k on a trailer/truck rental round trip and two days that one of the struts just happened to be seized up. 5. Didn’t even bother turning it on or driving it as I was pissed odd enough having wasted time and thousands of dollars to make the deal happen. Packed up and went home empty handed. No idea what condition the motor and trans are in. 6. Seller told me while I was looking around that a previous buyer had driven the car up to PA in the winter a few times which “probably explained the minor surface rust”. Now I hear he’s telling everyone it’s been in a climate controlled garage with a dehumidifier its whole life. Lol. Good luck selling the car, Jeff. $30k or so should do it. Luckily I took that money I would have put into this and bought more BTC in the fall lol. If anyone has a nice Mystichrome with low mileage (and no rust ) send me a message. Adam [/QUOTE]
