Schaefft Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 29 minutes ago, goosey said: My brother was in the same situation a few years ago with a LDV Van he bid on After he won the auction the seller messaged him that the head gasket had gone so he couldn’t sell him the Van and he had “sent it for scrap” only thing my brother could do was leave the seller negative feedback Reported it all and ebay agrees that this is against their guidelines. No clue what effect this will actually have on the seller's account though. I currently can't give him feedback "because of a technical glitch". goosey and lesapandre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes looking at an ad you can see what's going to happen. People can be pretty transparent. For both buyers and sellers Ebay is getting very naff and as you say getting worse. They recently asked me to fill out a customer survey where I outlined some of these problems. I see this morning there is the usual rash of fake ads for classic cars too which is not good. Presumably now that the Motors section has been added to the non-binding bids category, the seller is no longer legally obliged to sell the car to the high bidder? lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, unless the buyer is reporting things to ebay, which will probably be of little consequence, they can basically do what they want. At least a few times. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a seller has ever been 'legally obliged' to do anything on ebay - I know that's what they say about 'entering into a contract' but have you heard of a single instance where a buyer challenged this and was awarded the car? I think that would be pretty big news if it had happened tbh. lesapandre and BeEP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I remember Mr Bickle telling a story years ago about how a friend of his bid on a Citroën Ami which the seller "forgot" to put a reserve on and subsequently tried to refuse to sell - the buyer went all legal on his ass and got the car, but the brake pipes had mysteriously been cut. That story may or may not be apocryphal of course. Yank Tank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Sweden was still RHD then imports from there would be great It has lived in an area without road salt and with cold dry winters this is what makes it in such good condition. It needs some work but is not much. Is quite common here in Scandinavia that areas with stable cold through the winter do not get salt on the roads and this together with the winters being dry the cars rust little there. yohan and MisterH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda D16A9, 1.6 twin cam 16v, but no V-TEC. Same engine as they put in the early CRXs before the B16A1 came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Better' I don't mind the grill but prefer the cleaner look of the early cars. Pre facelift grill with post facelift indicators and wings looked best - surprised to see this after 'repairing' my son's with what was available locally.
