    bad luck dude

    I also trusted a guy when buying a car.. he said it was fine, no problems etc.. so I just trusted him, took it for a drive and seemed fine. Man how he was lying lol. Already spent 2k in repairs and still not done yet. a 3500 dollar car now 5500 and still going up lol.. a good deal turned to a rip off. Lesson learnt. Trust no one. Should of got a safety inspection or something first ay

    If the chassis is gone sounds like its a write-off unfortunately, needs a new chassis, and would be cheaper selling off the parts and getting a new car

    Sorry to hear man, hope it all goes well

    I think the most important point is that you should NEVER TRUST A SELLER.....and make your own mind up based on what you see.
