Yes it's a Flip I was interested in it few months ago @ $26k if it was a Non Sunroof it would be in my driveway
Hi All - red flag time.
A potential buyer contacted the seller about having me look at the car. The seller said no; he is too busy to f#ck around with someone pretending to be an expert. And he has conditions he wants to impose on a PPI. And if the buyer doesn't trust him then don't buy the car.
Seller sounds like a used car salesman to me. And an abnoxious one at that.
In the sellers defense if I had a dollar for every time I wasted a day getting a PPI done for a potential buyer I'd probably have... well, about $10.
I refuse to do them anymore.
I flew two thirds of the way across the country to inspect a car which turned out to have more rust than I was expecting (none). Inspections are important, especially considering the potential financial hit if the car is hiding issues. If remote, having a PPI done is pretty much mandatory on these cars. It's not like there are a bunch available all over the country - you have to travel to find them. I will not travel again without an inspection first. Most of the sales listings on these come with piss-poor photo documentation which makes it even more difficult.
This car was listed out of NYC at $40k within the past year or so. The price was then dropped into the $20's and it sold quick. The panel gaps are an issue and I believe it has some minor rust issues near the sunroof.
"west coast car up until a few years ago" - That's not what I heard when I spoke to the prior owner. This seller is not worth the trouble.
