Man, there's a
lot of stuff going on here that, in Bob's words, doesn't pass the "sniff test". Here are just three such examples:
Example 1
Even though it says multiple times in the Autotrader ad that it's a 92, and has the VIN for a 92, and was inspected by both Steve and Gene?
Example 2
Example 3
If someone was stiffed, then sure, it's wrong and it's a travesty. But so far, from everything I've read, I can only conclude that much of what is being claimed is untrue, and that the biggest problem expressed here is that of a buyer being highly emotional and out of touch with reality (and apparently, on at least one previous occasion, has shown a total lack of faith and lack of consideration for others). I'm not at all convinced that the seller even did anything wrong. It also appears that others here (e.g. Len, Gene) are in touch with the seller (or his agent) and are willing to help figure out what happened and help you straighten it out. My advice to NSXVetteViperSupra is to cool down, stop posting here, and instead use his/their help to work it out in private. In particular, both Len and Gene are good men who are fair and have excellent judgment and are also very experienced in business; I can only believe that either or both will help you figure out what really happened and what your options are. LISTEN TO WHAT THEY TELL YOU (instead of continuing what sounds to me more like a childish temper tantrum) and carefully consider any advice they give you. Good luck.
No disrespect Sir, but you have not a clue of what is happening!
Childish temper tantrum…….Geez, please tell me how I should act when the following occurs:
1. Vehicle is advertised as 94, and turns out to be a 92 after you made all arrangements.
2. Pay $103 dollars for a NSX Mechanic to inspect the car in which, he does not advise it is a 92, even after I state the following, “Hi Steve, I had a 1994 Acura NSX that was in today for an inspection….”
3. When I finally realize the car is a 92, I call Saint Louis Acura back up and say, “Hi Steve, well it’s a 92, did you check the car for the snap ring? Steve responds, “Yes, not a snap ring car……””
4. Now, here is what I am thinking at this point…..Okay, even though it’s a 92, it’s not a snap ring……Okay, no need to turn around my transporter coming from Florida or wire back my 30,500 cash deposit.
5. Find out a few hours later it is a snap ring from Gene……………….Now, I am starting to get a little pissed at this point.
6. Transporter arrives at 7am for pickup on Tuesday. I tell my driver hold tight, we got issues we need resolved with the year, and now the transmission……Few hours later we agree to adjust price from 34,250 to 32,000 for the snap ring and year change…
7. I inform the Broker, I will send the remaining $1,500 balance Paypal and I will add to that $60 to cover the 3% fee. Also, I can give you my Credit Card (info since you own a business), or I can even send a wire for the $1,500 and you can secure the balance with the Paypal I just sent you, my CC info, and the trace # from my bank verifying the in transit cash.
8. The Broker then disappears for 10 or so hours. My driver sleeps in truck waiting and I pay my driver an additional $500 for an extra day.
9. Next day arrives, and I realize that the broker is now blocking my calls……….
10. I finally find his business number, and call from a different phone and he answers. I say Tom, “What the hell are you doing? I am paying my godamn driver by the hour here and you’re pissing around playing childish games. Tom, you better give my driver a bill of sale, title, and hand over the keys! Please Tom, my driver needs to leave in a few minutes for he is already two days late!”
11. Tom responds, “You fuc#@n idiot, the deals off…………Jesus Christ, tell you driver to get the hell out of here and he hangs up!!!!”
12. I call him back and say, “Tom, I just called the police.”
13. Transporter charges me $1,700 and says, “What the hell is going on? I am leaving this godamn place. Tom is crazy and I can not take anymore”
14. I search for the owner based on the wiring instructions that Tom gave me with his full name. The spelling was exactly noted how it was given to me. No luck finding the guy, and I began to think he does not exist.
15. All communication ceases with Broker.
16. As of 12 noon pst on Saturday, I have not seen even a dollar of the cash wired back to my account. It should only take 24hours, and this was supposed to have happened on Thursday.
17. I realize, wow I have been really screwed here. All the money I have in transportation, wires, phone calls, lost time, plus I have yet to receive back the $30,000 dollar deposit. All for a car that was clearly misrepresented from the beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell me, how should I act at this point???????????
Example 1: The guy just changed the info in Auto Trader today, after I informed him I was calling Auto trader if he did not change it himself…….So, another would not have to experience all the bullshit that I just did.
Example 2: It’s called debt.
Example 3: The name that was given to me and on the wire instructions was David A. Pheodoro. How was I to get the name from the title when I did not have possession of it? Tom would not give me the title or car, even though I had paid in full……
Please, have the facts and read into the details before you discredit someone!!!!
