I'd report the incident to the Better Business Bureau. That way if they try to do it again there's a record of the first time. ppl like that should be shot >:(

[ben04]

yeah true, that place is a joke. only reason why i delt with him was casue i wanted that particualr car... tooo bad i didn't rip in the car on the way back....or did i ;D

[F150_XLT]

I had a similar incident at A Class Auto in Delta. I didnt give him any deposit but he sure didnt approve of BCAA coming out to inspect his vehicle(s). Needless to say I didnt buy from him!

[ben04]

hell yah man, i'm all private sale from now on pretty much, i've learned my lesson, unelss the car is mint... is it true that speedline auto or wahtever its called (like 90% mustangs) are all rebuilds?

there are quite a few rebuillds, but all have been inspected and are usually in great running condition. If you have any problems Sham doesnt rip people off, he'll fix it for you.

why is it that sham rymes with scam? lol just a coincidence thats all. im just kiddin though, se doesnt scam :)

[IROC-Z]

yeah thats not exactly the best name for someone who's selling used cars to have :P

[79 Z28]

although the prick bought my SS >:(

[IROC-Z]

actually that was brad that bought my SS >:(

[79 Z28]

way too much IMO, the car needs a whole rear clip, and the front nose was repainted, and its only worth about 18-20g with no decs. its gonna cost at least 5-7g to fix plus 7g almost no profit in it :-X

yup
how much did u bid? I bid $1200 less than him

[79 Z28]

i bid $5100 and thats only because i have a whole rear clip, that i can take out of the repair costs, plus the hatch was cracked heh, and the t tops were on crooked about 1/4" which meant the car was bent, frame shop here we come. hope he noticed that ;D

[turbosonoma]

oh yes everything got noticed before i bid on it. Apparently i didnt pay to much cause people offered to buy it for more than i payed before i got it fixed. when it was on the frame machine it all got pulled back into shape, t-tops fit great now, the car didnt have to be sectioned, as the quarters pulled out VERY nicely, and i even have pictures, all it needed was tail lights, rear bumper and re-bar, and some interior plastics, all of which i had anyways. I took it for a drive today actually, and it drives soooo nice. Maybe you'll see it sitting at icbc one day, have a look at it, turned out quite nice imo.

In reference to DeVellis auto, who did you deal with? I have been friends with the owners for a few years now, and they are really great people. I'm surprised to hear this happened, and I would be really interested in knowing which salesman you dealt with? Marc (the owner) is an awesome guy, and his son is one of the most purely talented drivers on the continent :o
Cheers

[79 Z28]

if hes so purely talented how come i havent heard of him? ;D

[GregZ28]

79 Z28: Do you follow open-wheel racing? It's a long story but I'll give you the short version...I race shifterkarts, I have raced against Alex Tagliani, Paul Tracy, Michael Valiante (Lynx Formula Atlantic), David Rutledge (Lynx), Memo Gidley (CART)etc, etc, etc. I have seen lots of drivers come and go, but Marc DeVellis, IMHO, given equal equipment, is a very gifted driver. If you have ever seen a top level karting event, you would know what I mean. He's also a really great guy off the track, so you'll understand if I get a little defensive when guys say F you to him and his family...Watch for him in Atlantic competition, and in a year or two, CART. Witness his podium finish in his second Atlantic race at Trois-Rivieres last year ;)
Cheers
