I agree with Budnate on his statement 100%! When you take the steps to take EXCELLENT PHOTOS and SHOOT A VIDEO! To me it is showing you don't have anything to HIDE!You can certainly take photos of a "NASTY" car and make the photos and car look much better than it is.I personally had this happen to me a few years back.I looked at the photos really close of what appeared to be a really nice car. I contacted the seller and after talking to him ,I decided to drive to Dallas Texas and look first hand.Well to make a LONG STORY SHORT!I did not bring the car home I let it stay in Dallas.Photos and discussion with seller made the car a 8 out of 10 and a personal inspection made the car a 4 or 5 out of 10 at best.If I had bought the car based on what was told to me and the photos I would have been very MAD when it arrived!I will NEVER NEVER NEVER purchase a car without either looking at it myself or have a trusted set of eyes look at it!Now I think a lot of sellers are being upfront and just don't know how to take NICE photos.I am no photographer.But there are NUMEROUS sellers that DECIEVE people on purpose,we have read about many of them in posts on this site and other sites.Now that last statement did not mean that MEMBERS on this site are trying to decieve anyone! It means we have read about dishonest Sellers,Dealers in posts on this site that have ripped people a new one! I just wanted to make that clear and not have anyone misunderstand what I was trying to say!I certainly do not need to get into any trouble!
Sometimes it is difficult for me to find the correct words to use! And it is those times I wish I had went a little further than the 3rd grade! LOL
And it is those DISHONEST SELLERS that ruin the hobby for a lot of people.
