We had come to View a High Line Exotic Vehicle at the Motor Vault. The Initial contact with Brian was great. We exchanged emails and he was very prompt & professional. We had set up a time and date for us to view the vehicle. Brian was not able to meet us is he said he had some prior engagement at a track event. Which was understandable to a certain degree. He had us meet his Partner Josh, which was friendly, however lacked any knowledge of the vehicle we were viewing, he had explained he was new to the business, although I can understand that we all have a start in life. I would have thought that Brian, obviously knowing this fact, would have made better arrangements to make sure he was available for us. Or either expected Josh to know quite a bit more, being he was selling a vehicle over 100k.
Let's move forward to the viewing. The Car , at first sight, looks great. We did take it for a test drive.
I asked Josh if we could put the vehicle on a lift to inspect the Under Carriage. As the vehicles had been in a previous accident in its past. I had emailed Brian and asked if he had the capability of doing so. He assured me he did and it would not be a problem. Josh had knowledge of this and told me he was not prepared to do this, as the vehicles were packed in their shop and blocking the lift, nor did he have the knowledge of knowing how to operate the lift or place the vehicle on it.
At this point, I was a bit surprised and let down. From here we go straight downhill a bit quicker folks. I resorted to laying on the gravel outside trying to inspect the vehicle, which is a very difficult feat being the vehicle is extremely low to the ground. Although I am a Certified Master Technician and am accustomed to laying down, I was dressed a bit more formally and was not prepared to do so in the current outfit I was wearing. I had gone through the vehicle the best way I could.
After a bit of inspection, I did see the rear end was leaking and had a half dollar worth it oil already on the payment after our test drive. This was a bit concerning. Also, behind the drivers side, the rear wheel on the frame near the top seemed to be repaired from the vehicle slapping the curb that the vehicle had struck when the accident happened. Although it was repaired fairly well it was still a concern. We decided to get a bite to eat and think about the purchase.
At this point, I had left Brian a text message explaining my concerns and also asked why the vehicle wasn't positioned on the lift as we had spoken about. Initially, he had said he was sorry and didn't remember we had emailed about that. Then he proceeds to tell me
" Well I see you are not interested in the vehicle so I'm sorry it didn't work out!" Wow!! Please keel in mind I NEVER SAID THIS. I simlpy text him my concerns, so we can chat about them before I made the purchase . At this point to me this has become way to classes. I let him know that since HE said I am not interested Then I guess I was not, since he makes my decisions, and said goodbye.
Mind you again I was Very interested in the vehicle and I never said I was not. He put words in my mouth. I was a cash buyer and had a cashier's check made out to Motor Vault to purchase the vehicle that day. What salesman does this? Smh. Unreal. I was also told the vehicle was repaired at a Lamborghini Dealership I called down their location they had told me did the repairs, they said they had no records of this. So, I do not know how he came up with that. After thinking abiut it, I belive he had gotten angry that a knowledgable car guy had pointed out all the issues that he did not expect to be found.
All in all this was a horrible experience and a waste of time, money, and travel. Don't waste your time. Your typical car salesman. Just a lot less of an example. I hope your client is happy you ruined a deal. Also, beware of the Lambo. It has issues. I was told you are in your first year if business. Take it from a 21 years vet in business and thriving. Change your practice Or Goodluck in the future Brian. You will need it sir. read more
