That sucks!!! I really wonder what he paid for it. Definitely not 7k. He probably thought you coming from Florida that it was a lock.

I've sold a few vehicles on the internet to people in different states. If I see bondo or rust I am going to be upfront and tell them about it.

That's a very shitty situation wasting your whole weekend and hard earned money!!!

I drove to upper Michigan 8 hour drive to see a 68 2002 that I was told has no issues and could be driven back without a problem. The guy lied about the condition of the car. It had a major hit in the rear, and the panels gap was horrid. The 1 car couldn't go into 1st or 2nd gear. The alternator bracket was cracked. The floorboards were all there, and that is was the only positive. I thanked him for his time and got in my car and drove away. What a way to waste a Sunday!!!

Not sure why you'd travel a 1000 miles by plane to look at a 320i in the rust belt of the country. I'd think there would be more rust free 320s down in FL than here.
