Business ProfileforClassic Car Deals, LLC

Classic Car Deals served as broker for my purchase of a vintage auto in Sept 2022. Brokers website listed the vehicle as having the original manual 4 speed and Factory 283 v8. Written responses and recorded phone calls confirmed the car has the original motor and transmission and all the repair records, original manual. The purchase price of the car was based on the agreement that the car was as advertised. That was not what was delivered. The engine and transmission are not original and no paperwork, records, or manual were ever received. These factors are very important toward the value of vintage cars and, in this case, the difference in value is approximately $20,000, based on comparable sales. The deal that the broker coordinated was fraudulent. Brokers are used to provide a degree of security. I have attempted for months to have the broker work with me to get the seller to provide a partial refund to account for the incorrect and missing items from the purchase. I have asked them if they had a consignment agreement with the seller that has legal enforcement provisions in the event of seller fraud. As the broker, they need to take the measures necessary to complete the transaction satisfactorily and without fraud. After months of pursuit, I got the broker to very reluctantly send the seller a demand letter. The seller ignored the letter and the broker has advised that is all they can do. I have never received a clear response about the enforcement possibilities in the sellers consignment agreement. The broker must do more. It is unacceptable for a broker to provide a fraudulent listing, facilitate a fraudulent transaction, and have the buyer not receive the product he paid for. My calls to the broker on 5/24, 6/1, 6/2, 6/5, and 6/7 have not been returned.
