Hey folks, just went to see the car which I won on ebay a week ago.. haha, I know I know, ebay is not as safe as it should be.. but hear me out alright?
For those who don't know about the car I won on ebay, this is the story :
One day, I was on ebay searching for stuff for my car, which is a civic. While searching, this irresistable car deal popped out with like 5 minutes remaining on the bidding and it was just going for 8K aussie dollars. I was shocked and immediately called the seller. He told me everything was fine with it, so okay, I bidded, and I won it for 9.1k. haha.. It's a 2002 Civic Sedan by the way, and the market value for the car is around 15-16k. I thought I could buy it for 9.1k, and sell it off to make like 4-5k profit? haha, the businessman in me..
Yea, my friends were shocked when I told them about it.. they thought I was nuts..haha, but this is my justification : If the car is a genuine deal and is in good condition, I can make 4-5 k!! But if it's not, I have nothing to lose.. the worst I can get is a negative feedback from the guy himself. smart hey? But he did tell me everything was fine, so I had the right to not buy it in case he's hiding something..
This is a pic of the car :
Well, alas, the deal was too good to be true.. I went to have a look at the car today, seems that it had been through a LOT of accidents or a major accident alone. Took the car on a test drive, the first lap around the neighbourhood was fine.. Then I decided to go for another lap, on a faster speed.. Thank God I did.. I found out that gearbox is seriously a no no.. The guy said that he didn't know about it (or did he?) and apologised that he didn't tell me/advertised about it. He agreed to take 7k for the car though, and I told him I'll think about it over the night. But nah, I don't think I would want it now.. the car looked like it went through major plastic surgery with lil bits of dents here and there.. and I think it wouldn't be really worth it at all.. oh well.. there goes my dream of giving, zh'nging Belle (my car), and treating my friends to a huge feast with the money (and also keep somelah).. But hey, money ain't my master.. :) so it's all good.. Just minorly disappointed because I had really high hopes and nice dreams.. But hey,my God is BIG! and he's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think!!
And I guess that the guy wouldn't really give me a negative feedback after all! Since it was his own fault of not putting in the right details.. :)
Well, thats that.. gonna go watch Eight Below in a while.. and looking forward to it as well..I love dogs! do you?

I suppose the car has been totalled before and had been salvaged. Cars with salvage title in US are dirt cheap. Luckily you took the second road test. you should send a mechanic over to check with you man.
