Default C3 Purchase UPDATE>>>>

Well everyone was right....Here is the owners description of mint: (or actually what I saw)..The car actually had rat sheet in the passenger seat, the drivers seat was half gone, 1 door panel was missing, engine and tranny was gone, exterior was painted with bomb cans and my god what is that smell..............oh and when I shut the door the ttop weather strip actually turned to dust and fell into the hole where the door handle should have been......... I'm not sure what she meant by garaged and covered, unless she meant covered with bicycles and engine parts...... oh well I am still looking and I will find one that makes me happy........Black/Red would be nice.....

Oh and I forgot to mention, the brake shoes and calipers were in the rear of the car I called her later Saturday and told her I would take the car if she would pay my fuel to come back and get it.....

Well the good news is you did not buy it on ebay without seeing it in person. Amazing how some people never let the truth get in the way of an honest description.
