When I was looking for a nice done driver 69 Camaro for my wife a couple years ago i looked at so much junk it was not funny. I thought it would be easy with a 30K budget to find a car. Turns out most 15-30K cars were the same car just the 30K car builders knew how to hide stuff better.

I thought I had finally found the car in Nashville. Had to get a loan for most of it so the bank even sent an inspector out and passed with flying colors. I went through a week of mailing paper work back and worth to the bank and had my check.

Met the guy in Memphis and pulled up and the car looked like everything it was susposed to be. nice gaps , nice paint ect. Started crawling around and under it to find a hacked together mess worse than most of the other cars I looked at. I was so mad I just started walking back to my truck before i got myself in trouble. Guy starts asking me what was up and I just said thanks for wasting my time. All he can say is " I hope you don't think you can get a Barret Jackson car for 30K....."

In the end it cost me my deposit and some time but I am so glad I went to look at it in person.
