Thats the typical story. My red car was low mileage relatively speaking, but ragged out as crap when it arrived. NOTHING like the pictures. Essentially it was a P-O-S. 4 years, couple of hundred of hours of work, and a few $1000 later, its now restored and is the pride of the flock.i gave over 1200 for the car and was told that had just cometic stuff and found tones more once got home but car only has 109000 miles on it and runs good other then brakes and all
