I bought what looked like a great 1971 Bronco they described as a "great frame-off restoration". The restoration looked complete from the pictures, but upon arrival it was clear it wasn't. The radiator didn't even have a couple $.50 bolts to secure the radiator mounting brackets. Within 2 minutes of driving the truck on the road, I hit a tiny pot hole and the radiator was thrown into the fan and destroyed. No $.50 bolt equaled a $1,000 problem. They said they kept the vehicle indoors, but the paint on the vehicle was already ruined. The drivers seat was broken.
Several electrical problems with the lights and turn signals. Brakes in terrible condition. E-brake doesn't work. In desperate need of an alignment, which is difficult to find a shop to do at a reasonable price. None of this was disclosed on eBay Motors. Their account positive score has also been inflated by them purchasing all sorts of little trinkets to trick dumb buyers like me who don't realize their rating includes what they buy and not just what they sell. I called them and asked them for help with the radiator, but they told me the car was sold as is. Not a good experience.
