Wasted my time, then disappeared.
While searching for a car, I stumbled upon a listing by Bob's Motor Works.
I reached out to Bob, explaining I was in the market, and was ready to begin the sale immediately- An ideal customer.
My first request was for the CarFax report, which took multiple calls and emails from me to produce.
After several more attempts at speaking with him, he agreed to have it inspected by a mechanic who I had payed, and to hold the car for me during the inspection.
However, he insisted that I would have to wait several days before it could be inspected. When the day of the inspection finally arrived, I eagerly anticipated getting my report.
What I didn't anticipate, was a call from my mechanic informing me Bob had already sold the car. Immediately following this, I attempted to contact Bob.
After several more calls, texts and emails, bob vaguely explained that he was sick, and out of state seeking treatment.
After pressing him, he attempted to tell me there were mechanical issues with the car; a completely different story than what he had told my mechanic.
Bob was consistently slow to respond requiring several reminders, and almost seemed bothered by my inquiries.
Despite the fact that I was willing and eager to pay the full asking price, I felt more like the salesman than the customer.
I consider myself a fair, patient, and timely negotiator.
I am now out $250 for a vehicle inspection, and several wasted months of negotiating.
It is my personal opinion that you should seek another source for your automotive needs. read more
