I purchased a 1984 Cadillac from Silo 19, Norman Walker last December 2023. I sent the payment in…read morefull, and sent a friend to go get it as per agreed schedule
Norman promised there was a transferable registration in the glove box. No regi was present, no proof of ownership, no bill of sale etc
I repeatedly called and texted Norman, and he finally "found" said regi, and told me it was "faded", and weeks went by, no regi is mailed to me
So I called Bangor Maine State Police to intervene, and magically, regi shows up. And I asked Norman repeatedly for him to ask car owner to get me a current regi, (Norman is selling on behalf, maybe consignment?), and Norman tells me owner "is like 99 years old". I asked several times for a current, or duplicate regi, and same "he's like 99 etc..."
I asked Norman if he could transfer ownership to his name, a simple bill of sale procedure in Maine, costs under $100. But only a Maine resident can transfer, so I couldn't, and Norman seems to stall...
So now I've finally got regi in my hand, (months have gone by), it is in fact badly faded, only portions are readable, and my motor vehicle obviously won't accept a 14 year old illegible document, which I presented it to my New York DMV
It's now April, I call Norman and after ignoring me for weeks, he finally answers (and asks why I sent Police), and gives me (illegible on faded regi) owners last name
I immediately Google Paul Tre......y, and he died October 29 2011. He was 86, not "like 99"
So I get it, Norman wanted to sell this Caddy for, I guess, Pauls son, or family, who knows? He never told me any truths, and why would I believe anything after months of lies, ignoring me, and 2 State Police interventions?
And to rub salt into my wound, the head gasket blew 30 miles from my home, after a nice 300 mile drive. I wonder if Norman knew anything about this issue?
Above are the facts, no exaggerations or personal attacks. If I've erred, I would like to be corrected
