I purchased a 1977 Ford Bronco that was supposedly restored from these folks.  The truck was listed on Ebay and the sales rep convinced me to buy outside of Ebay for a better deal.  In order to make the deal go through a $1000 non refundable deposit required via paypal.  I was told the truck was beautiful and had been completely restored. 

Well here I am nearly 6 months later and will be getting the truck back next week.  See list of items below that were required.  The truck barely drove when it arrived to Texas.

Replace horn that didn't work.

Complete brake job front and back.

Replace speedometer that didn't work.

Complete front end replacement.

New 4 wheel drive as the this did not work on the truck. 

Engine and transmission overhaul (transmition slipped in low gears and bad engine).

Replace all door and hood hinges so that the car would align properly and doors would close.

Repair leak in roof.

Repair two seals that had oil leaks which i was assured the car had no leaks.

Total cost of repairs:

$7500

I called and texted the sales rep that misteriously would not answer or get back to me.

This was the worst scam I have ever been a victim of.  The car was nowhere near restored and at most was painted and washed and someone slapped a liftkit on it to look cool.


Beware of this company and do not trust a word they say.  I learned my lesson and will never by another care without a 3rd party inspection.

Not to mention you were prolly fraudly bid up by a friend that I caught them doing on all of their no reserve auctions.   They use the bidder n***n(7) to raise the price of all their vehicles and then relist them when nobody outbids them.  I'm putting the word out Everywhere and you should do the same!

COMMON SENSE Comes Before Trust!

AUTHOR: Jim - ()

You send your money off to somebody you don't know based NOT on what you saw with your own eyes BUT only on what somebody said on the internet!  You buy some USED car you've NEVER seen, NEVER test drove, NEVER checked for fit or finish, NEVER heard the engine run and NEVER tried each and every accessory!  Every internet scam artist knows there are people who throw COMMON SENSE out the window all for some stupid car!  They then come here and cry and whine because they were scammed!  Golly, I wonder why???  Should everybody who sells anything be honest?  Of course!  Then again, anyone who does the buying should have and use the COMMON SENSE to be a smart consumer!

It was P. T. Barnum who said, "A sucker is born every minute!"  I might add, "especially when it comes to cars!"
