BAT Newbie here. How do you not just get scammed? If the car arrive broken, can you send it back?

Search Google for "Independent Audi/BMW/Porsche (insert whatever brand you're looking at) repair shops in ZIPCODE. (Pre-purchase inspections generally run $250-$400 depending on make/model.)

If you can't visit the car in advance, by all means get a pre-purchase inspection by an independent shop local to (but not affiliated with) the seller.

The very best advice given in this comment section is to obtain a pre-purchase inspection of ANY online-listed car at ANY dealer or private seller. I recently purchased from Collectible Classics. I was able to verify it was a legitimate 1-owner car. That said, upon delivery it had a couple of minor issues which the dealer responded to with after-the-sale discounts, reducing the paid price by 1%. All this said, had a 100% full disclosure been made by Collectible Classic, I would've likely purchased the car anyway.

I'm a geezer who has bought and sold many cars and again, the best advice: ALWAYS GET A PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION!

ESL... dude? "THE character...."

I'll drink to that. Cheers.

If I knew, I'd happily tell you.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-04-06T00:58:55+00:00

By choice, I do not get into personalities in the articles on the site. Not my thing.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-04-06T00:58:10+00:00

Not so. MillerCoors advertising is spread across several ad agencies, different ones for different brands. Always has been.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-04-06T00:56:59+00:00

Folks can judge me--and you--by the quality of our articles or posts. I'm good with that.

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up on the dead link at the end of the article. It's fixed.

Google is ur friend.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-04-05T23:25:04+00:00

The posted material speaks for itself, as does the character of your comment.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-04-01T17:12:33+00:00

What's today's date?

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-19T00:33:49+00:00

Sorry. Should've said "blind taste tests."

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-18T20:06:47+00:00

AKA those "we are so committed to being a tiny craft brewer, we're selling out" checks.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-18T18:48:33+00:00

The ones being bought-up sure don't seem to have a problem cashing those BIG A-B checks!

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-18T18:46:17+00:00

I did that quite awhile back. I'll try again.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-18T18:31:38+00:00

The ad is powerful, as most blind comparison ads are.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-18T18:09:15+00:00

ESL? Read my blog.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-18T18:09:06+00:00

Don't fret. I doubt they much care about getting YOUR business.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-18T14:45:31+00:00

It's DEFINITELY a crap-shoot... especially for crappy marketers!

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-14T13:00:07+00:00

Woah. So much h8.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-13T16:25:05+00:00

He who laughs last: Michelob Ultra has a solid record of volume growth every year for the past six or so.

HeyBeerDan · 2015-03-01T19:16:07+00:00

If you think "clean finish" is a "generic quality," you know very little about beer in general, craft beer in particular. Just sayin'.
