Pluck, I know this has been talked about before but maybe by venting a little I can feel better about what I did. I bought a roadster off of ebay (of course) it looked really good in the pictures. I even called the guy and he told me about all the body work that had been done in a reputable body shop and that it only needed a little work to finish it. This was not my first model A purchase by any means and should have known better. I was really excited about finally finding the roadster I wanted so I sent him a personal check and threw caution to the wind. I had to drive about six hundred miles to get the car so that was a considerable amount also with a pickup and trailer getting about nine miles to the gallon. When I got there the car was not even close to how it was described. Because of the time and money already spent I didn't back out of the deal. I could go on for an hour on how bad the body work was and all of the other problems. I do have it done now and am having alot of fun with it, but I certainly over paid for it and have settled for way less than perfection. Long story short, Never ever buy a Model A with out looking at it in person. I don't care how good the pictures are or how convincing the sellers description is. Thats my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Thanks, Frank ( I do feel a little better after that)
