We do our best to inspect these vehicles and list the details. We drive them a couple hundred miles and try to visually inspect all the accessories and make sure everything is working properly.

Please read the full description as well as the terms and conditions before bidding or purchasing.

NOTE: If you bid on this car, that means you have decided to buy this car. PLEASE, we have heard of all the excuses of buyers not wanting to follow through once they win the auction. For example, don't let your kid bid on this car while you are "working overseas with no access to the internet". hahaha Yeah, we have heard this one several times. :) Make sure you have funds secured before bidding. We are serious sellers, we hope you are a serious buyer. If bidding on eBay, but you just can't wait for the action to end? Contact Scott Carter at 801-839-4224 and make an offer to "Buy It Now".
