On 12/17/2017 I test drove a vehicle listed for sale by Absolute Motors advertised as "one owner' no accidents" in the description. After seeing the vehicle, it appeared that some of the parts did not meet up and were slightly out of line and position. I asked Mike Alami, the salesman, repeatedly if the vehicle had been in an accident and questioned him about the concerns that indicated it had been in a crash. He responded that it definitely had not been in an accident. He cited that the CARFAX report indicated it was accident-free. He stated an accident would have been reported by the dealership where the vehicle was maintained is a Chevy dealership and would have reported any repairs done caused by accidents. Therefore, it is an accident-free vehicle. However' it has been in an accident. I was able to determine this by contacting the car dealership where the original owner purchased and maintained the vehicle. The body shop of the Win-Kelly Chevrolet car dealership provided the information when I called and asked about a particular repair done by them and listed on the CARFAX report. The Win-Kelly body shop stated that they fixed damage from an accident and State Farm paid for the cost of the repairs. The body shop listed what the repaired and replaced, but was unable to provide a total for the repair. By estimating the costs and labor of the parts listed, the amount State Farm had to pay was approximately $7000 to $10,000. They also stated that the repair took from 11/18/2016 to 12/27/2016, I asked the body shop why they didn't list the damage repaired from an accident against the VIN of the car. They said it was not their place to report the accident and they were not sure who was supposed to report the accident damage against the VIN. I followed up with a call to State Farm. They provided the claim number and listed the items damaged also, which matched the list from Win-Kelly body shop. State Farm said the damage was from a "Single Car Collision with No Injuries" on October 19, 2016. On the CARFAX report, there is no listing of any activity on 10/19/2016. However, on the CARFAX report has the following events in the time span in question: 10/31/2016 maintenance done, 11/18/2016 damage reported, and 11/21/2016 vehicle serviced. State Farm was unable to verify the amount they paid for the repair, but they stated it was from an accident reported by the owner of the vehicle, Gregory Kirsh, and State Farm's claim number was #209K05932. On Monday I informed Mike Alami that I did not want to purchase the vehicle since because Absolute Motors and CARFAX misrepresented the car. Mr. Alami explained that they were not responsible for inaccurate information on the CARFAX report and that Win-Kelly Chevy was at fault for not providing the information. On 12/17/2017 I paid a deposit for the vehicle to take it for a pre-purchase inspection and we had left a second check to be held at Absolute Motors for the balance since it was required to be left to take the vehicle for an inspection. We signed papers expecting the inspection would find the vehicle accident-free. On 12/18/2017 I returned to Absolute Motors and told Mike Alami that I did not wish to purchase the vehicle since it had been in an accident. I asked to pick up my checks and leave the vehicle. It was then that I was told that I had already purchased the vehicle and could not return it. Again on 12/19/2017 I spoke with Mike Alami about the car, the condition, the misunderstanding, and that I didn't want the vehicle because it was misrepresented. He provided me with an address to a mechanic shop that he said I could take the car to so that they could make any repairs to the vehicle that were needed. I didn't want to leave the vehicle at a mechanic shop that I was not familiar with, so I elected not to pursue the offered repair. However, I did ask him if the sale could be nullified and voided and I would return the vehicle. I have spoken with Mike at Absolute Motors daily since 12/18/2017. I have been polite, cordial, and kind. I have firmly stated each day to him that I did not wish to purchase the car, did expected that I was signing papers to take it for an inspection and the forms and checks for the deposit and balance were "on hold" if I had an accident with the car or caused damage. I have visited Absolute Motors daily since 12/18/2017 to request they take the car back, ask if they would sell the vehicle to another buyer, and to seek a correction to the misrepresented and inaccurate information used to advertise the car. read more
