Question Some1 in New Jersey who can check a s2000 for me???

Hi!

My name is Fredrik.

I have recently asked about a Honda S2000 2005 modell whos sold by MiracleAutosport in New Jersey.

I am from Norway and the thing is.
I need a guy/girl to check out the S2000 im planning on importing to Norway.
I dont seem to trust the seller 100% due to their companies reputation. They have alot of negative feedback on their site.
Some are positive but the ID of the persons giving 5 stars are shady or looks fake.

Anyhow. The car mentioned is a 2005 White Ap2 S2000. Its been involved in a crash and bought at a Salvage auction.
The insurance company has obiously declared it a total loss. I googled the VIN number of the car and a picture showed up showing the damage.
It doesn`t look so bad and the car have been fixed to gained a new title; Rebuildt I guess this means its legaly repaired and all works as it should?

The only problem however is that the seller said when asked, that the damage of the crashed only involved a paint job on the bumper and change of 2 brackets for the intercoolerfan.
This seems sketchy due to the sellers history and feedback on google; The seller will say the car is in excelent condition but its not.

I was hoping maybe some1 kind could go to their shop for me and check out the car. Test drive it and find out if its worth it or not.
The thing is the seller imediatly required 500$ deposit. which is fair. but Now I havent heard anything from him in 3 days.
They also have a reputation of not calling back. (This I found out after the payed deposit)

Is there any1 in the area who would like to check that out for me?
please let me know! :-)

Thank you for youre attension!

(Sorry for misspells and other..)

Did you already leave the deposit?

If so, try to recoup and find another example. If not, find another example.

Dealership is not BBB accredited. Although this isn't always a red flag, BBB shows that they have 9 filed complaints against the dealership. https://www.bbb.org/new-jersey/business-reviews/auto-dealers-used-cars/miracle-autosport-in-mercerville-nj-90026186/reviews-and-complaints?section=complaints

Yelp shows a 1 star status and there are multiple bad reviews on cargurus.

I would give them hell for taking your deposit but not sure its worth it at this point. Always do a "background check" on a dealer if you decide to buy a car from one.
