This seller lied on every detail about this car. I have NEVER been ripped off as bad as I got ripped off on this sale from the seller northshoreauto175 . This car misses very badly, has fuel delivery problems, major leaks in the oil, transmission, and rear differential. Almost all Belts need replaced, steering, and suspension bushings bad, pans rusted, large rust on driver quarterpanel, oxidized motor parts and mechanic said car appeared to be submerged in saltwater at one time or another. Wood was bad inside, temp and oil gauges did not work, evidence of the speedometer being unplugged, black mold embedded in all the carpet and undermats. Dies at every stop, very bad paint fade and scratches on trunk, molding was rotton, or removed from every area of the car. No seatbelts working, Seatbelt molding was removed from the sides and will take thousands of dollars to make even roadworthy.
This transaction makes me sick at my stomach and is about the biggest case of fraud I have ever been "got" by. No title has been seen for this vehicle and a month has now passes. Seller claimed to be a dealer, but in reality is a wrecker service, and probably got the vehicle by it being abandoned and overheated, or damaged in storm or flood. I strongly recommend a person NEVER buying a vehicle from this seller. I love classic cars, and know not to expect to get somthing perfect, but when the seller uses terms and phrases like :
"Runs Great"
"This vehicle is in superb cosmetic condition. The exterior looks to be in mint condition."
"No door dings or scratches on this baby - it is immaculate. The paint on this vehicle makes it obvious that the owner garaged it."
"The vehicle engine runs very, very smooth"
"The electronic components on this vehicle have been checked and they are all in working order"
"This is a prime example of a pre-owned vehicle, with no known defects"
"This vehicle's interior is very clean"
---Not one of these statements is true about this car. I find it disturbing that people like this even get their hands on a classic car like a Jaguar, and this is the kind of sale that would just make a collector and restorer or reular buyer just sick.
