ok, regardless wether it says may or not, which u claim it does, and it also states that it does come with it. u can not contradict urself like that, its called a bait and switch (roughly, i know its not the exact use of the term), still u cant mislead a person like that. so the MAY argument doesnt matter here,

 

i just wanna say that i bought my car in augest on ebay and the whole transaction was very smooth. The car was in great condition, better then expected. i pay 25k with shipping included the car only had 6k.

my point is that buying a car on ebay for me was a great expriance that i would defintly do again. Everyonr has there own individual expriance

btw the car is 03' tamerac black evo
pic of evo after 3 months and about 5gs

 

^^^ true, but that does nothing to help our jk, just because you had such a great experenice doesn't mean the next man will too.

JK, do what you can asap, got any updates? Have you told snail auto that it doesnt have a warranty? Have you let ebay or paypal or your bank know whats goin on? I too got frauded on ebay (for some jordan retro VII) but I let my bank know and i got my money back.

 

Its called the Lemon Law...take advantage of it.

 

Looks like this post's been going a couple of days, but I'll figure that you haven't successfully resolved your problem yet. You've got a lot of options to think about and I won't dwell on the ones others have tossed around. The place that sold you the car's in Pennsylvania. That means they're covered by their state's consumer protection laws, which I don't know off-hand, but I'm sure will be of help to you. Unlike some others who have chimed in, I am not convinced that, even if your car was listed 'as-is,' you would be out of luck for misrepresentations. I think most state laws recognize a difference between not providing a warranty for a car, which is legal, and purposely covering up a car's repair history. You may want to start here: http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/. It's the Pennsylvania attorney general's website. Their consumer protection hotline is 1-800-441-2555. I don't know how much help they'll be, but it's free and they should know their state's consumer protection laws. Also, since you are in MA and they guy sold to you there, you may have recourse under your own state laws. Check with your attorney general. Here's their website: http://www.ago.state.ma.us/. There's a section that talks about used car lemons under the consumer protection tab that may be of interest to you.

Sorry to hear about the hard luck. Even if you think you can get this worked out by talking to the dealer, I'd still think about checking out these resources so you can come to the table armed with some information.

 

Technically, it's not a lemon. It's just an abused car. I believe under the lemon law, if a car has been brought in 3 times within the first year of purchase for the same problem and the problem is not corrected then it is a lemon. Then the manufacturer is required to buy the vehicle back.

 

so...you bought a car that you had no info on and had never seen. Doesn't sound smart to me. Learn the hard way I guess and fix what you have to.

 

I bought my 03 evo on ebay for $17,600 with only 7600 miles, runs perfectly, but had to replace rear half shaft, front strut, oil cooler and little screws and nuts here and there. I love it. no bad experience for me. Plus I live in VA, had to fly out to Salt Lake City to get it. Never drove it b4 I bought

 

Correct, you have nothing on the Lemon Law. It is not a Lemon. It's not like it was defective from the mfg.

 

My personal opinion is that I would never buy a car on Ebay unless one of 2 situations:

1. The car is so below the market value of a comparable car that even if I buy the car sight unseen and have to make significant repairs, then I'm still ahead.

2. The car is a local car and I look at it and drive it before bidding.

 

honestly id ask for the money back. did you inquire of mods & if it still had a warranty & did u get anything in writing? you do have to consider these thoughts. also will they give you back the warranty & what is ebay's rules on this type of purchase since it is off their site. if you cannot get anything from them consult an attorney. no one deserves to buy a lemon i wish you the best of luck

 

Technically they do not have to list everything that was done to the car. As a buyer of a used vehicle you should ask many questions about the condition of the vehicle. Checking the vin is always a great idea. Also test driving any car is also.

If it sounds too good to be true then it is!

Buy new if possible
