But yes, be safe in the garage indeed.
Oh I agree. That was one of the first questions I asked....i'd much rather deal with people than thru a website. Especially on a rather large purchase like a vehicle. Some people have had success, others are nightmares.
It does and it's certainly raised a few flags. I've sent another email to the seller and based on the response (or lack thereof) I will most certainly be able to tell if it's a scam or not. All I'll say at this point is that if this is true then it's a damn good deal.sounds sketchy, i would contact ebay about it and go from there.
try to get a number and talk to the seller if they wont its 100% scam.
Sound like a scam to anyone?
I just pulled my oil pan and installed a new oil return line and new gasket cause I had a pretty good sized leak going on. The leak looks to be completely taken care of but now I have a good amount of white smoke coming from the tail pipe. I THINK that since I used ammonia cleaner to remove the RTV from the oil pan, some may have stayed in the oil pan even though I wiped it down thoroughly. Once I start driving, the smoking goes away but at idle, it's coming out a good amount. Any ideas?
If you can contact ebay and everything checks out on their end, I think it would be ok. Ebay's been really good in my experience, and they're looking to keep their rep, you know? If you're going to do it, the safest way is though a credit card so that you have your credit company as another layer of "insurance." You just call them and tell them it never got delivered or whatever and they can cancel the charge. My dad's had to do that a few times over the years for various things, but nothing ever too big. It would take a really stupid person to try to do a scam through ebay because there are all kinds of laws; it's a binding agreement, just in electronic form. If you did everything right on your end, you'd have a solid case, but I dunno if it's worth it.
You and me both... How does the exhaust smell? I've noticed mine continues smoking at idle (recent discovery) and it smells like oil, even though the smoke is white/gray from what I can see, but it's hard to tell at night.
