WOW, those pic you posted look really F@%Ked UP!!! really, really not tight at all... I hope you all work out an agreement... Because it is one thing buying a 15 year old beater and buying a CUSTOM car! A CUSTOM car CAN BE MINT... And the seller knew what you were looking for! We can play with words, but he knew what you wanted and expected... There is legal options for you in this dispute..Holla at me if you guys can not settle up...

As for LUXURY MOTORS... Yeah, that what I thought too.. PLUS it took them 2 weeks to put my deposit back into my account!!! But it took those bastards 10 minutes to accept it!!! There was also couple from Ohio, that was buying an $80K Benz and the tires were BAD!!! Those bastards were only trying to change 2 of the tires out! not the entire set and this couple was buying an $80K car!!! I ended up getting my 400 hp 2003 S-Type R blk on blk the same day! Another bad story about service with Howard Orloff!!! for another day...

Luxury MOTORS are nothing but a car mill!! They car nothing about customer service!!!

They do have a lot of "top notch" looking cars.... but as IKON noted many, many of them are repairs, salvage, buybacks. A friend of mine looked at 3 of their Mercedes CL's & E's... each one of them had 15+ 'electrical service' repairs going back to the dealer, then sold, then more electrical service listings, then sold again. They suck ... that's why their prices are so low.. they are at all the auctions. I'd bet they'll have a lot of ES350's cheap (buybacks ) soon

TRUE!!! I talked to a guy that works there at Luxury Motors NOW!!! He said they are getting sued left and right!! I hate those savage type of dealers... All nice over the phone and bull***** is person!!!

I wish I knew this before flying there.. I thought I did my research, BECAUSE, I'm a used car dealer as well... It can happen to anyone... That's why I insisted for a inspection first on a high dollar purchase(or any amount)... Buyer beware!!!

For the price I wasn't expecting to get someone elses project. I thought the car was ready to go and that I would add my touch to the car as I went along.

Dude sorry about the car . Try to work something out. FYI You never buy a car base on pics or the word of the seller. You go and look at it and put your hands on it, drive it, seat in it. Good luck hope you and the seller can work it out.

I've purchased two other cars online before and they were exactly as described. I guess you can't trust people anymore.

Hindsight is 20-20... I can see where you're coming from knowing what you shelled out, but honestly, you can only blame yourself for not taking every precaution when making this kind of purchase. Good luck getting everything sorted out!
