I dont know Tarek, sounds like he has a great reputation. I stand buy “buy the car” NOT “buy the seller”

Shady dealers sometimes have great cars.
The most honest sellers sometimes have bad cars (sometimes they know it sometimes they dont) But get a PPI and do your homework - you are buying the car not the seller!

I can say from personal experience the most reputable vintage car dealers in the US have passed off cars with accident damange, with swapped engines, with salvage titles, all without disclosure.

Bruce Shaw has seen it all and you’d be surprised at some of the household names that pawn off bad cars.

You know what's kind of interesting, purchase question patterns have seemed to have changed over the last 20 years.
Does the car have mods?
How many original owners?
Paint meter readings?
Accident history?

You know what is missing? No one seems to ask or care if a car has been tracked. It's a non-entity. Just thought that was interesting.

In person is the only way to tell. I would NEVER purchase a six figure 25 yo car without seeing it first. Insane!

The black C2S from PcarMarket is now on eBay, and they still are willfully not disclosing the damage.

I guess we all know Lamborghini of Paramus is a bunch of crooks.

Somebody with an eBay account should report the item with the link on the listing page. Reference the pcarmarket removal and undisclosed severe front end damage.

I sent the seller a note via ebay calling them out and also just reported the listing per your suggestion. Unfortunately, archaic eBay only has some pull down menus to report something, so I tried to get the point across as best I could with those.

Unbelievable.

eBay doesn't give a crap about bad sellers. I had a bad experience and put in a very reasonable, unemotional negative review. eBay pulled the review and told me they "counseled" the seller. They clearly have zero interest in policing their auctions.

So, I emailed the seller and told them to explicitly list the known issue(s) in the description of the eBay listing, which he now states he will do.
