"as if your just going to jump in and drive away after paying the cash."

Erm, strangely, that's exactly what I did with mine.
Because I'd bought it as part of a contract via Ebay.
I literally had a quick look at it, asked how it drove, paid the money and drove away.
Only to find that it needed a new Vis motor and new belts (after looking on here).

Perhaps I got lucky, but I'm happy with the car and felt I got a reasonable deal.

My point?
I'm not sure really, but surely if you enter into a contract, you should abide by it and buy the car?
And then argue the case afterwards?
Where I suspect you'd probably lose, tbh.

I'm not taking a view about the car.
It's more a point that if you bid, you're obliged to buy.
And if you don't, you can be given bad feedback for it.

Just thoughts.
Hi.
I bought the car in good faith it was not honestly described, there was several things wrong with it, yes it looked quite nice on the outside, but I was not prepared to take it on with the faults, for the price it was cheap someone with more knowledge could make it into a desirable car.
