Sold a car with hidden suspension damages and fired airgbags

I recently made the mistake of buying a salvage used Subaru Forester at autobidmaster online auction, and I have regretted it ever since. The car looked decent enough in the pictures, but when it arrived, I was in for a rude awakening.

The suspension had hidden damages and it was a complete disaster. Every time I hit a bump, the car rattled and shook like a tin can. I couldn't believe how unsafe it felt to drive. And to top it off, the airbags had been fired and were damaged beyond repair. I only found out after the car had been delivered to my driveway. It was a complete shock to me.

Now, repairing the suspension and the airbags will cost me thousands of dollars, which I cannot afford. The car was supposed to be a good deal, but it's turned out to be a nightmare. I feel cheated and taken advantage of. The autobidmaster website should have been more transparent about the car's condition, and I never would have bid on it.

I would never recommend buying a salvage used car online at autobidmaster to anyone. Save yourself the hassle and go to a dealership or find direct car seller. At least there, you can test drive the car and have a better understanding of what you're getting. I've learned my lesson the hard way, and I hope others can avoid making the same mistake.
