--Description of complaint, with details
The unit was purchased and freighted to me, arriving 01/09/26. This delay was due to their third-party financing and the holidays.

When it arrived, it was not running. (said dead batteries on the listing). So I dropped it off at my local United Rentals, and they have had it since then.
I instructed United Rentals to get it up and running. They replaced the batteries with 10k new ones, and the unit still would not run. They then pulled the service records and realized this unit had been diagnosed as non-running 2 months before my purchase date. United rentals stated that the unit had been previously bought from Bidadoo and previously sold to an individual before me, who promptly returned it. It appears they used a video of the unit running from the first transaction to add it to their listing, which they sold to me after the fact. The unit is at a United Rentals. They have noted miswiring and missing parts,rust and stated the unit would not run without 15k+ or more in additional repairs above the 10k for batteries.

The listing description is completely wrong, listing things as operational.

I have reached out to the seller and got no escalation whatsoever. Only 1 phone number is listed online, and I can't get any progress on email or calls. At one point, they told me to return the unit to the yard, but took this offer away after learning United Rentals had installed brand-new batteries and "voided the return."

I can send you multiple emails with all this info from them as well, if needed.
