So sorry to hear.  Yes, please share names and eBay userid.   I bought a sup=
posedly 35k orig mile toyota 80 celica from worldwide vintage auto in Denver=
 Colorado.  Please be very aware when dealing with these folks.  They sell o=
n eBay.  The car had 132k miles and was  n an accident that a child could te=
ll. Didn=E2=80=99t look like that in the pictures.  They ended up taking the=
 car back less 20% restocking fee.  I couldn=E2=80=99t get them to get rid o=
f that.  They actually left paperwork in the car from previous owner so I ca=
lled him.  He verified the mileage and accident.   The guy at the dealership=
 stated it was an original low mileage car.  The have some nice cars on thei=
r website but I would go see it person before buying again.  So many today a=
re buying site unseen and people are taking advantage.  The saving grace is t=
hat this is the age of social media and the internet.  Word of mouth very im=
portant.   That=E2=80=99s why I like Bring a Trailer so much. =20
Hang in there and try to let this be the only one where they took advantage o=
f you.  You aren=E2=80=99t alone my friend.
