Same picture + Same license plate = Same car

Larry;

You found the "missing link".

That IS the same car. Look at the pictures in the e-bay ad and compare the rear shot and the two tire shots.

This may be why he's selling it. It also clarifies where he got the information that "it's a common problem with them. "

I'll try to contact him and see if he was able to determine what exactly was wrong. In fact, if you're reading this right now Yellojacket05, were you able to determine the exact problem? If so, PM me.

I doubt I'll be able to pick up a west coast car anytime soon and thought one transplanted here would be a good pick up but I'd rather not purcahse a car with frame/unibody damage. I'll just wait and see if I hear anymore.

Thanks all for your help,

Q

It may simply be that he's not able / willing to do the repairs, NOT that the car is unrepairable.

If he is in fact an auto recycler, his mindset may be one of "I'll get a better one soon enough" for his wants/needs.

Or YelloJacket05 may have simply bailed and sold the car to the recycler and gave him the pictures to help him sell it.

It could also be that YelloJacket, like you, was looking to buy it and he found the same problem as you've posted and decided NOT to buy it.

All solvable by a small road-trip, or a decision to wait longer.

Spridal (sic?) recently bought a car off e-bay that he was on pins and needles about living up to the description on the ad. It turns out he got a heck of a deal and is extremely pleased.

Not all e-bay deals are necessarily bad, you just need to be careful, as you are being.
