BUYER BEWARE WHEN BUYING A USED CAR FROM
SKY MOTORWORKS, WHITFIELD PARK DRIVE, SARASOTA, FL
On April 29, 2016, my husband and I purchased a BMW 323iC convertible from Sky Motorworks, Whitfield Park Dr., Sarasota, FL We agreed to a sales price of $though we knew the internet valued it hundreds less Two reasons we agreed to the $was it had just under 43,miles but the bigger reason was that Sky Motorworks told us that they had recently replaced three motors to assure that the top would go up and down as it should The salesman repeated "replaced three motors" several times
The salesman also insisted that if we didn't buy it, he had a buyer who wanted it immediately shipped to him even though he hadn't SEEN the car Just the year, make, model, and low miles had sold him on this vehicle
Besides, the salesman was such a nice young guy with a lovely little daughter who happened to be in his office while we were there We could see that he was a family man and really cared about his business We realized this was a used car and there could be problems but we were assured we could drive this car without having to put any money into the automobile for awhileWe were also assured that the tires, brakes, and top were in good condition
NOT SO
Once we got the car home, we put the convertible top down and up once, with our assistance, both ways The salesman had explained that "after you put the top up and down several times, it'll loosen up and it'll go up and down completely by itself very soon." The second time we tried to put the top down, it simply wouldn't go, even after doing what he had shown us to do
So we took it to our local Auto Center, who had been highly recommended to us by several people Three mechanics there told us they'd never encountered such a convertible top frame It was bent in such a way that they couldn't imagine what the reasoning could have been "Cobbled together" was a term used over and over again They made several calls for parts and said it could cost at least $3000+ to get the top in working condition They noted that the three folding top motors needed to be replaced as they were not working and one had been welded together At this point we took the car home and called one of the owners of Sky Motorworks They said they'd get back to us but we never heard anything so we told our local repair shop to order the parts
Once we took the car back, they had it for working days They kept running into more and more problems and even had to take it to get the new folding top module programmed Turned out that they had to purchase three new folding top motors (that came to over $2160) plus numerous other parts
In the end we had to pay $3800+ to get the convertible top to go up and down but it still needs $worth of parts, plus labor, to work properly The Auto Center has such a good reputation in our area and they didn't charge us for an additional 5+ hours of labor!
We now have well over $10,invested in a BMW convertible which we have owned less than two months We have given them two chances to respond before posting this but have heard nothing
So I now repeat:

Super happy. I searched on-line for a good older BMW to replace the one that was totaled when a teenager smashed into it while parked at a restaurant. I found the one Sky Motorworks advertised, but my husband said not to buy it without going to look at it. Neither of us had the time to fly and go look at the car so I rolled the dice. I paid for the car and Daniel sent me the car. I took it to the BMW dealer the same week it arrived just to make sure everything was fine. The dealer said the car was in fantastic condition. I was relieved. I'm very happy with Daniel's professionalism and how the car arrived exactly as described.
