and did they fill one of the wiper arm holes or did they just put the paint on so thick it closed it up?
Just gross... |
I'm guessing that when they smeared bondo on the rust under the windshield they inadvertently filled the wiper arm hole, and just didn't notice. |

I wonder how many people will catch the "have to pay off existing loan" part. I wonder how much that existing loan is? Wow. Turd. |
total turd.
It says "clean title" but then later says there is a lien on the title from a loan. I know it is splitting hairs, but that is not a clean title to me. That is a title which is not in possession of the seller. I am guessing that the guy who lent money on that car is the same quality level employee as the guy who accepted the auction at BAT. Since it doesn't say "no reserve", they actually allowed the seller a reserve on the auction, which they usually don't do on turds.
I do like the line on the repair receipt that says "lots of rust".

I like that they are unable to fix the alternator so they include a battery charger.
I would be embarrassed to own a shop that was named in that engine install, tin missing, jank wiring, doesn't charge.....
From the listing:

| There is a lien because it was used as a company car. No need to buy it out of pocket when I was only using it as a rental for photographers. |
That makes absolutely no sense.

Or maybe only a dozen miles of body shop dust that was left in the engine compartment after grinding the bondo smooth-ish.

It’s now at $20k with 45 minutes left.
I’m convinced that if you took a manure pile and shaped it in the form of a bus, rattle canned it and stuck a VW emblem on the front someone would buy it. There is no other explanation for why someone would pay $20k for that massive blue turd.

RESERVE NOT MET at $22,000????
I think that this very "Bus" in the auction is the same level of steaming manure pile you're talking about!

Can’t be, a steaming pile of cow turds isn’t as lumpy as that POS.

I’m thinking it won’t get near the money of the shiny buses.

Unfortunately, you are probably right.

That would be good news for a savvy buyer. Although a really savvy buyer wouldn't be shopping on a well publicized auction.
