Review: Car that we had been told only had been in one previous accident with minor rear fender issue with no air bags being deployed and had 2 previous owners. Turns out had 3 owners, been declared unsalvageable once and significant damage two other times. Car lacked air bags, when we bought it there was a crack in the windshield that dealership hid with a sticker, so we didn't notice it when we test drove it. Was MISSING the communication system that linked airbags and more than likely was missing air bags as well. We were told they had the car inspected that day, but cars cannot pass inspection with a crack in windshield. They told us the only thing wrong with the car was that the latch to open trunk was missing but they would give us the part and a check for it as well (never received part). We were transferring plates from old car, but didn't realize one was in my name and the other in my husband's. A week later, they called to say we would have to get new plates and they would send them right away. Three weeks went by, no plates. They are ducking my calls. After finally receiving plates, took car to authorized dealership and they told me that the car looks like it had been underwater (they found rust in places which they should not have found rust).Desired Settlement: As the dealership waited until the 30 return was up to give me plates so I could drive the car (because it was illegal to do so with plates that were not allowed to be transferred), they deliberately tried to prevent me from finding out what was wrong with the car and asking for a refund. Want complete refund along with money I spent to fix windshield and seatbelt.

Review: Saturday October **,2013 I left a $800.cash binder on a 2004 Range Rover to [redacted] of Designer Autosport Inc.. I specifically asked if I changed my mind could I get my binder refunded. He said yes! I asked to test drive the vehicle, [redacted] said" he didn't have license plates for the car". The main location at [redacted] had all license plates, his location just recently opened". He asked us to come back the next day to test drive. The next day [redacted] still didn't have the plates. The week passed and on Saturday Nov.* we went to the car lot and it was empty. I called and went to their Bay Shore address. The Range Rover was there in that lot. I was told I could still buy the SUV or get my $800 binder returned. Two weeks ago I decided I didn't want a car note for a 10 year old car. I called Designer Autosport Inc. repeatedly and no answer. I went to the lot Sat.3/* and Sun3/*/14 they were closed. Monday 3/*/14 I called and spoke to [redacted] and he said "bring your receipt and you'll get your refund". I took my receipt to get my $800. refund and [redacted] was very rude, abusive and refused to give back my deposit. He made up reasons why he couldn't refund my binder.My girlfriend and I called 911. [redacted] came and took the complaint #[redacted]. I want my $800. binder returned immediately! How many other people has Designer Autosport Inc. done this to?Desired Settlement: I want my $800. binder refunded immediately! I have my receipt. Designer Autosport Inc. should be shut down.
