This company are to be avoided at all costs
*** is the most disappointing human being that
I have done business with in a long long time
He described the Mercedes I purchased totally dishonestly,
and his photos were deceiving
I submitted my trail of emails and pictures to an independent
garage after the car arrived in the UK, and they frightened me
with their report, "A Rust Bucket" versus Sidneys description
"The car runs and drives and I would upgrade the carburetor to run better Strong car overall If I could I would buy the car for myself to restore, but my business keeps me really busy"
THE WORST - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Do yourself a favor, and steer clear - this is not an honest or reputable business. I sold [redacted] a car via a popular commercial auction site. He paid for the car, took it to his location, and THEN decided that it wasn't as good as he thought. He complained about the transmission though it drove fine when it left here. He wanted a partial refund of the already-negotiated purchase price, and threatened to slander my reputation if I did not comply - this extortion practice is explicitly prohibited, but not well enforced. I refused, but offered him a simple solution - return the car and I'll give you all your money back...he, of course refused. He knew he'd been sold a good car for a good price and wasn't about to return it - but greedily wanted and expected to be able to extort a further discount after the sale. He REFUSED a FULL REFUND! As promised, he went on to maliciously and falsely slander my up-to-then impeccable seller's reputation.
But wait, HERE'S THE GOOD PART...he took this car, slapped on some seat covers, and MARKED IT UP OVER 2.5X what he bought it for, and now wants to pass ** on to you. His ad goes into great detail about all the mechanical work that was done before he bought it, but interestingly doesn't mention any transmission work...BECAUSE NONE WAS NEEDED! Additionally, he misstates the year of the car in his ad (embarrassingly referring to a year that the particular model wasn't even offered - and he's a Benz 'specialist'?!?) and implies original mileage when the odometer had been non-op for an undetermined amount of time.
To be so purposefully deceitful, malicious and ugly over a relatively inexpensive car - the idea of anyone trusting this guy with the blue-chip vehicles he claims to specialize in is unfathomable. The classic car hobby is a wonderful thing full of beautiful, trust-worthy people...no need to deal with pigs like this. I advise you to steer clear - wish I had been so lucky.
