Last day for #479 on ebay

35tsc · Post by **35tsc** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 1:38 pm

It is sad but today may be the last day I own a McLaren. The ad which started last week is on its last 13 hours and I started the bidding at $5,000 with no reserve. I am kinda disappointed that it has not received any more bids - I do have 55 people watching the auction and nearly 3000 people have looked at it, so I guess we will see in the end. If you are looking for a true collector that is in good shape please stop by the auction and pick this car up for a fraction of what it should be selling for.

It has been fun owning it and being a part of the community but my expenses and space to store it has finally taken over and its time to move on.

Unfortunately the economy sucks and it looks like a previous owner got you with a title washing. A "prior" salvage title is going to hit the value of the car for something like 25%.

its a buyer's market right now. Not a good time for houses, boats, cars. bottom line. And the salvage title does scare people.

Nice car though. I remember this being for sale a few years ago, same pictures, and don't remember it being a salvage title then.

I did not know the title issue until I tried to list on ebay. I listed it and then they sent me a message that said they were deleting it because there is a discrepancy with the title history so I had to re-list it but had to list it as salvage even though I have a clear title.

Negusm - you are probably correct with your statement of title washing - its just too bad.

The link shows it as an invalid auction number.

eBay cancelled the ad because they say it had the words asc McLaren used as a spam.
I will try to resolve this.

Wow. Just another example of the world's ignorance of our cars, huh?

I'm surprised that ebay would be so diligent. I was whether some bozo complained.

Sheesh. You can't catch a break I guess.

Ebay is really getting to be a pack of auction Nazis.

I hate it but there is no place else I can put something up for sale for a week and get over 3000 people to look at it. Ebay has cost me a lot of time and money because of there mistakes over the last couple of months - this is not the 1st time they cancelled my ad because of a mistake they made.

How have they responded when confronted with their errors? Are they cooperative or do they hassle you?

35tsc · Post by **35tsc** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 8:21 pm

no responses, just links to where I can find the policies on there site. I don't think they really care, just off to the next customer who has a complaint.

Did this McLaren sell? I'm in KC.

The car is sold. A local guy picked it up and loves it. Tired of the ebay thing - nothing but troubles. I still have the original wheels if you know of someone who wants them. The purchaser did not want the originals and just wanted the Cobra R's so we negotiated and I kept the originals hoping to recover some money for them. What would be a resonable price for them?

Thanks for the interest.
