Roush Rough 93 car on ebay

Actually, my day care provider's husband just bought this car. On Thursday he was going from MD to IL to pick it up. I will see it whe I pick up my daughter on Monday after work. As long as he is happy with it, it is worth it. Hell, I am happy with a 4cyl auto convert.

Wow! This car must be a POS. My day care provider's husband drove out to Chicago from almost Delaware in a rollback to come back emptyhanded. He refused to accept the car. He said that the carfax on ebay was clean, but when he ran it in person, it came back as being hit before. Lots and lots of rust.

Looks like you guys had this car figured out from the get go.

See Ya Bill

CarFax is a useful resource when investigating the history of a used vehicle prior to purchase. However, it is just that; e.g. a resource (one of many) that cannot always be trusted to be 100% accurate as I discovered from previous experience both as a seller & buyer.

The person that eventually purchased by SVT Contour sent me the CarFax report he had received & it appeared to show that it had two owners yet I was the original owner & could prove it via all the documentation I had saved from the day I ordered it from the dealer. But CarFax assumed that since it had been titled in two states, KS & CA, it had two separate owners.

The CarFax report on my Saleen Cobra was completely clean with no history of accidents &/or repairs. Yet when it arrived & I started fully inspecting it, I discovered evidence of repaired damage to the right rear 1/4 panel & rear Saleen valence. The original selling dealer or owner may have been in an accident & repaired it without reporting it to their respective insurance companies so it wouldn't necessarily appear on a CarFax report.

Caveat emptor.

my 88 comes back w/ a clean & clear car fax even though i know it was in a previous accident (not reported) & i bought it as a Salvage vehicle/recovered theft. this is 2 different incidents years apart! plain & simple, you cant trust any car fax report. they are useless
also, (for those who like to live dangerously spending alot of money) you MUST see a car in person to make a correct & educated decision on a purchase that you will be paying thousands of dollars for! if not, hey its your money but when stuff goes wrong, theres nobody to blame but yourself because you bought a car, site unseen, no test drive etc... online LOL!
