A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
If it's been to the mechanic and then you have problems.... look no further. Sounds like they've trapped the cable somewhere. Take it back to them.
