I bought a 2015 VW Sportwagen on-line and from out of state. The salesman was nice enough and I asked him to send me pictures of ANY dings/scratches or blemishes. I told him I knew the car wouldn't be perfect but I wanted to see everything wrong.
First he sent low res pics, but eventually sent good pics which only showed a small scratch on the bumper. He assured me there were "no rips, tears, dents, no smoke smell. Nothing to hide on this car at all."
I asked him to take some pics under the car and it showed damage under the front bumper (which he said he didn't know about), but again, said there wasn't ANYTHING ELSE.
When I got the car, the transporter showed me NINE additional dents/scratches that weren't disclosed by Zimbrick (and which the salesman signed off on). I also found a scratch that had been repaired with touch-up paint. So....TEN total undisclosed dents/scratches.
When I contacted the salesman and asked Zimbrick to AT LEAST cover the dent repairs, he said, "there really isn't anything that was misrepresentative, sorry you may think otherwise." Funny, because he SIGNED the transport manifest SHOWING the additional dents/scratches so he KNEW about them. He also suggested the damage was more visible to me because of the California weather (even though HE SAW IT in Wisconsin and signed the transport manifest)!
If you're considering buying a used OR new car from this place on-line, think again OR pay someone local to completely inspect the car before you buy. Nah....just buy somewhere else.
