I spent several weeks looking for the perfect SUV, and considered importing an H2 from the US as I simply couldn't find anything that was exciting enough this side of the border. I'm located in BC, and stumbled across an Autotrader listing for a Pacific Blue Limited Edition H2 - the pictures were extensive - about 20 of them from almost every angle you would think you'd need to see, and it sparked my interested. I contacted Lee Munro and immediately arranged and paid for a full inspection at a Chevrolet dealership in Brantford, Ontario - as I was buying this car from BC. The car failed the inspection despite Lee's numerous claims it was "like new" and "fabulous" as there was a leak in the exhaust system. Over and over again Mr. Munro told me he does business based on honesty and by his word - and told me a million times the car was flawless. Even though the exhaust was apparently leaking I trusted he would have it fixed, as he said he would, and went ahead and sold my car in BC - and offered numerous times to put a deposit on the H2 while he had it fixed. A few days later, as bank drafts were being prepared to be fedex'd across the country, and a shipping company was booked to pick up what was about to be my new car, I wanted to show my husband the pictures of the car again as I was getting excited for it to ship out to me.
To my dismay, I stumbled on an old kijiji listing for the very same car showing significant damage to the wheel well.
I immediately contacted Mr. Munro and asked for clarification - of all the many many many pictures he had sent me, and the many many many emails detailing the shape and condition of the car (like new, perfect, flawless, fabulous, etc.) he never mentioned so much as a scratch. I asked if the damage I had found in that picture had been fixed, as he had never mentioned it, nor released ANY pictures of this to me despite my requesting a full list and pictures of each and every deficiency the car had (it was a VERY low mileage H2 for over 30k - not exactly a beater of a car, nor is it exactly chump change)
Mr. Lee Munro got very aggressive and demanded money and said even though it was his "mistake" for not putting a picture of the damage on auto trader, the car did have some damage, and too bad for me... He made up numerous lies as to why he had not put the picture on auto trader or disclosed the damage. He even went so far as to attack me personally for suggesting he was being dishonest - which he clearly was. Lee Munro was trying (and almost succeeded) in selling me a damaged car in a very dishonest and distrustful way.
I was horrified - I am a very hardworking, honest, and kind mother and wife, and I reached out to him and gave him a very polite opportunity to rectify the situation - specifically, I said that if it was an honest mistake, then perhaps he would like to rectify the situation honestly and have the damage fixed or perhaps he would like to suggest a remedy. He did not wish to do so, despite ample opportunity to do so. Shortly after ending our business relationship (hours later) he relisted the car on auto trader for a HIGHER price, and still did not disclose the damage to one side!!! What a terrible, shameful, dishonest way to do business.
I have all of his communications should you wish for me to forward them to you - don't hesitate to message me. A car is a large sum of money, and can cost even more in repairs, etc.
Buyers BEWARE - this man is a lying, deceitful, dishonest, scammer. Don't waste your time on him, and don't spend your hard earned dollars on his rickety damaged cars that he tries to pass off as high end. read more
