Thanks! My No-Haggle Pricing Guarantee: Tired of dealing with the stereotypical used car dealers who build some "haggling room" into their asking prices? I do things a little differently around here. Each of my vehicles are always priced below book value, and the lowest price is the advertised price. This saves you the hassle of negotiating and then wondering if you really got the best deal or not. Welcome to a simplified car buying experience. No worries. No hassle. Just what you wanted. Our History: Short Motor Company was founded by my Dad, Leo Short, in 1990 after he was a Snap-On Tool dealer for 9 years. He was guided in starting his business by his uncle, John Short, who owned several new and used car dealerships throughout Texas over the course of more than 30 years in the business. I started working for my Dad at age 16, finished high school, and began my college career toward my Associates Degree in Automotive Marketing and Management from Northwood University in Cedar Hill, TX. I married my wonderful wife Rachel in 2007 and we welcomed our baby boy to our family in February 2011. I have now had my own business for 5 years selling pre-owned vehicles on eBay and Craigslist. My Dad and I continue to work together: he sells vehicles strictly from his storefront just as he has done for the past 20 years, while I have chosen to cater to the online community. My Philosophy: To provide quality pre-owned vehicles with outstanding value and superior customer service. I realize that my customers have a lot of choices when purchasing a vehicle and my goal is to cater to you personally by providing a perfectly painless purchasing experience. I treat you with the same respect, honesty, and integrity that I would expect to receive. All of my vehicles are hand-picked, thoroughly inspected and fully serviced, and then inspected cosmetically and test driven by me before theyre ever offered for sale. Mechanic work is done by Downtown Garage (110 Carroll Street) and Greer Motors (410 Greenleaf Street). Detailing is done by Classic Auto Detail (2713 West 5th Street; Voted the Best Detail Shop in Fort Worth by readers of the Fort Worth Weekly magazine). Each of these shops have been in operation for over 20 years. If you have a question about anything at all, please dont hesitate to ask - Im readily available through email (bradyshort@gmail.com) or a phone call (817-988-2629). -Brady Short Warranty Short Motor Company is a retail distributor for Secured Capital Management (a division of the Penn Warranty Corporation) and C.A.R.S.

Terms and Conditions Fee and Tax Information: BUYERS FROM TEXAS: You will be charged 6.25% Sales Tax (Sale Price x .0625), $33 Title Transfer Fee, .2302% Vehicle Inventory Tax (Sale Price x .002302), and a $50 Documentary Fee. New license plates, registration sticker, and safety/emissions inspection sticker will be taken care of at no charge to you.BUYERS FROM ANY STATE OUTSIDE OF TEXAS: You will only be charged Vehicle Inventory Tax of .2302% (Sale Price x .002302) and a Documentary Fee of $50. You are responsible for paying sales tax in your own state of residence (if applicable).TO ALL BUYERS: Total amount of vehicle is to be paid within 3 business days after the auction ends. Acceptable payment methods are: Cash (in person), Cashiers Check, Certified Loan Check, or Bank Wire Transfer. All buyers will be issued a temporary buyers tag good for 60 days after the time of sale. Vehicle must be picked up within 2 weeks after auction ends. After 2 weeks, a storage fee of $10 per day will be charged. If I already have the title to the vehicle it will be given to you in person when you pick up the vehicle, or sent to you via FedEx if you choose to ship the vehicle. If I do not yet have the title (very few cases, but does happen sometimes because of paperwork delays, taking care of new car trade payoffs, etc.), once I do receive the title (no longer than 10 days after the sale in most cases) it will be sent to you via FedEx.Winning bidder MUST contact me within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for payment at that time. If no contact is made within 24 hours I reserve the right to sell it to the next highest bidder, re-list the vehicle, or sell it elsewhere. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to eBay. If financing, make sure your financial institution accepts the year and miles of this vehicle before bidding. Please arrange financing prior to bidding.If you are not sure about something, please ask. Do not assume anything not listed or pictured is included. Feel free to call me (817-988-2629) or email me (bradyshort@gmail.com) for any reason. I reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive negative feedback or not enough feedback. If you have less than 2 feedbacks, please email me first to be an approved bidder. I reserve the right to end the listing if the vehicle is no longer available for sale and is sold outside of eBay.All of my vehicles are thoroughly checked out by my mechanic before they are ever put on eBay and any maintenance needs are taken care of. Most of my customers are from out of state, so I take great care to make absolutely certain (to the best of my ability) that the vehicle is in excellent mechanical (and cosmetic) condition. Please understand these are used vehicles, and may have a few very minor imperfections that are not noted. I try very hard to describe each vehicle accurately; however, if you have a question about something not addressed in the description, please give me a call.Sometimes the vehicle may have slightly more miles on it after the auction is over than what it had when the eBay listing started. This will not be a drastic mileage increase (usually only a couple hundred miles at the most), but it does happen on occasion because of test drives and demonstrations during the auction.I want this transaction to be as smooth and pleasant as possible. A happy buyer is a well educated buyer, so if you are in doubt about anything, please ask.
