@Iamavar Additional photos are not only allowed, they're encouraged. See Below. During the auction, sellers will be encouraged to answer questions by commenters and bidders. Auctions are most successful when questions are answered thoroughly and honestly. Provide photos when asked and do your best to be upfront about your car's condition.

Thank you. Texting you now.
@ShawnS The buckets are what you are driving about. Provide your email or your phone number and I will try to send the photos you are asking for, as the auction does not give that option once it has been started.
Can we get some undercarriage pics...fender wells too so that we can rule out rust and or leaks at the very least? This was a northern car so rust would be a normal occurrence on these rust buckets. Could you give us some piece of mind please?
@JTBshaw Honestly, I'm not really sure what else you want me to tell you. Check out the previous auction and you will find all the answers to your questions. The car was not sold at the previous auction, only because it did not reach the reserve amount. I hope this kind of issue will not come up in the future.
I find it strange that MB marketplace would run this car for a third time after looking into the previous auctions. The same car no-saled on C&B in 2022 and then again on MB in January. The C&B auction ended under sketchy circumstances and when questioned about it on the last auction the seller deflected. There is also no mention on this posting or the previous one about the rust bubbles that were apparently repaired? There is no mention here of paintwork that would have been done to complete that. All of this on top of the sellers non-response to the below question. It really begs the question as to why this car was approved for a third time? Certainly doesn't flll me with confidence as a fan and potential bidder on MB Market. I emplore any potential buyers to search the vin and read through the previous listings. Its hard to say what the truth is but the lack of transparency is worrisome.
@RBBrooke and that response from the seller is why I now have no confidence in bidding. Great, direct questions with a poor response by the seller.
That would be a "non answer" or BS for "No those items have not been addressed".
@RBBrooke Hi, a lot of maintenance was done immediately after purchasing this vehicle, so I can confidently say that I vouch for its condition.
Have the motor and tranny mounts been replaced? When was the last time the brakes and tranny were flushed? Valve gaskets replaced?
