There was a gentleman from Tassie who offered early model parts but who insisted on payment by postal note. Best avoided. But not on this forum.

Sorry should have been more specific the perfect wheels showed up bent and the blower fan showed up as a ac panel. Damn I’ve even had people whine that I threw parts out because I wouldn’t hold them for months. Aussie frogs should be left for its remaining months for dealer complaints and asking for diagnosis that then gets argued with. But there’s always a spot for you over at https://aussiefrogs.tribe.so/

I introduced a Qld buyer to a local seller who had kissed the blarney stone once too often and the resulting deal was not satisfactory and one I wished I had never anything to do with. I had bought a horse from the same seller and it had trouble with a jamming throttle and unpredictable brakes.
The greatest mistake is to help a needy friend buy a car because all faults however small will be relayed to you. Every garage has those customers.
More satisfactory to buy new now wherever possible from a quality supplier. Now I just expect things to be fixed under warranty and don't mind paying for proper service. People who complain about car servicing costs should pay for a major tractor service.
There is a doubtful air over Gumtree and ebay. Old fashioned commerce between people who trust each other is nicer. Some people will still send you a 30k machine and the invoice next month. Cars, parts and fuel often bring out the worst in people.
Another aussie frogs site? I've probably said all I have to say and annoyed enough people on this one.

Real cars have hydraulics
If your in the USA for a small while ... bugger french cars. Find something hideous and local and have some fun. I'm thinking 60's/70's land yatches with big block v8s, no brakes and no ability to go around a corner :roflmao: .... why on earth not
.... any sort of muscle car will sadly be silly money anywhere in the world these days. a crown vic would be good. Have you seem what they do with the ex-cop cars. Have a look at motortrend for "crown hic".

Some time back I was after a towbar (still am) for my 306 sedan - and yes, 2 or 3 miraculously instantaneous responses came back, miraculously having "what I was after".
It wasn't that that raised my suspicions so much as the person requiring me to email them - which is usually the disguised hook. Got lots of that with CarSales and Gumtree.
Stay safe all, and scam free.
