Sounds like your average CL idiot. You did right by not going without seeing a picture. The last 4wheeler I looked at on CL the guy sent me a picture and it didn't look to bad. I drive over 2 hrs one way to look at it and he had swapped out alot of parts on it from the picture and increased his selling price from what he told me. He stole the battery out of it and when I asked if I could jump start it he said he didn't have any jumper cables ( the guy had derby cars all over his yard I know he had jumper cables) So I told him I would use mine sense I had some in my truck. When I turned the engine over it sounded like a nightmare. Always expect the worst on CL. They keep on amazing me.
