This car has an ugly history.
I bought it last year from ebay seller
ezride1. Or at least I thought I did since I paid him in full.
Turns out the prior owner had it stolen through fraud - the thief gave him a forged cashier's check. The thief drove it for about a week then sold it to ez-ride using forged ID to impersonate the prior owner.
Ez-ride did the bare minimum verification to comply with Florida law (essentially nothing) and offered it for sale. With the very generous help of some forum members who took the time to inspect it, I decide to buy it. I paid up and had a truck scheduled to pick it up in about a week.
Meanwhile, the prior owner finally discovered the check was forged (his bank took about a month to even mention there might be a problem), called the FBI who stopped ez-ride from delivering it since they now
officially knew it was stolen. But nobody told me, ez-ride lied about breaking the spoiler and having to get it fixed -- they strung me on for a month before I finally found out what was really going on.
The prior owner had to take ez-ride to court (the Florida branch of the FBI would not confiscate it) and as of today, the Broward County Court Clerk's electronic case files don't show any resolution to that case. Meanwhile, ez-ride still owes me most of the money they took from me.
This new seller is about 6 miles away from ez-ride's current address. I don't know what, if any relationship there is between ezride and this benzsouth seller. But whatever it is, you probably don't want to get mixed up in this since it definitely isn't resolved yet.
Plus, it looks like the car has acquired over 2K of carelessly driven miles over the last year when it ought to have been sitting in a garage or show-room, untouched, since it was the subject of a lawsuit.
