Like what one said. Don't trust anyone but yourself. Other rules of engagement
1) if it isn't written, it didn't happen. All this he said she said doesn't hold much weight. That's how it's gonna play out in court as well.
2) the more money that is involved in a transaction, the higher likelihood of fraud and corruption.
3) once you buy the car, it is yours. Don't ever leave it in the hands of someone you just met. Especially, if that person is the one keeping your money.
4) when the one keeping your money is super nice and offering services beyond expectations. That is totally fine. it's customer service. It becomes suspicious when you as the consumer has everything to lose by taking up the offer. So be careful what's in it for the other party.
If you had your own transporter, it might have been better. You still can't trust the guy transporting your car either. They might be ripping stuff off during the trip tho highly unlikely. Unless it is documented with before and after photos or signed documents by the driver acknowledging its condition prior to pick up. You should also have the title and documentations stating what else is included with the car the moment you are face to face with the guy, then stay with the car until you have it in the hands of your own driver, preferrably not in the presence of the seller. If you have to check into a motel, do it.
Sorry for your lost. $33k is a lot of money and seems like all the other missing parts should be included. Let's us know what the other party has to say if you get a hold of him.

I don't believe there are words in the english language for me to articulate how much gratitude I have for ALL the people and ALL the car communities involved!
I can only offer you all my BIGGEST THANKS and I hope you can all feel it everywhere this post has reached!
I can't talk much about the matter openly as per my lawyer but I am now in talks with the Seller about resolving the issue.
I will update you guys with what I can, when I can.
again THANK YOU , faith in humanity!

Active Cleanup Alert
This business recently made waves in the news, which often means that people come to this page to post their views on the news.
While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it comes to these news events, we do work to remove both positive and negative posts that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business.
As a result, your posts to this page may be removed as part of our cleanup process beginning Wednesday, March 16, 2016, but you should feel free to post your thoughts about the recent media coverage for this business on Yelp Talk at any time.
