Went in to take a look at a vehicle. The pictures of the car made it appear to be in excellent condition. I put forth way too much effort to come to Portland to look at it. As I walk up to the car, I immediately see that the sea rails INSIDE the vehicle are completely rusted. I immediately inspect the under carriage, and notice that it is severely rusted beyond repair. The rear exhaust hanger was so rusted, that chunks of rusted metal came off with little effort. The strut mounts were also rusted, and so was literally the rest of the car. The engine had been detailed, with most of the hoses replaced. Peering down through the engine bay, I could easily see that one of the CV axles was leaking. This was a very short inspection. No doubt there were other problems with it.

I didn't bother driving the car, naturally, since the car was so severely rusted. I always hesitate buying from a wholesaler, since they're rightfully known for being shady. If you buy a used car from ANYONE, have it inspected. It could easily be worth the $100, and could save you from a major disaster. Shop smart folks.
