Business ProfileforIt's Alive Automotive

On 12/27/2023, I purchased a 1966 ********************** 250H motorcycle from Homsher Restoration LLC dba "IT'S ALIVE!", **************************************************************************The salesman, *****************, told me that the motorcycle "started right up" but the transmission had seized. I agreed to buy the motorcycle and have the business arrange for shipping.The purchase price was $3,000 which included credit of $300 for shipping.When I received the motorcycle, I discovered that the gas tank itself, the petcock, and the carburetor each leaked seriously. The condenser was fried. There was not spark to the plug and the compression tested only 50 psi. The oil sump was full of extremely gritty sludge and gasoline pollution. In short, the motorcycle had obviously not been operating for a long, long time and certainly was incapable of "starting right up." It requires an estimated $2,500 of repair work to the crankcase and motor. When I contacted the **** **********************, owner of the business, he tried to convince me that his technician had ridden the motorcycle in their parking lot. He said he would verify that and get back to me.He has not gotten back to me and has failed to reply to my repeated emails for a month now. I am 73 years old and my spine and shoulder disabilities kept me from travelling to actually see the motorcycle when I purchased it. I understand that I made the mistake of purchasing this motorcycle in as-is condition, relying on the integrity of the business to represent the true condition of the motorcycle.I am disappointed in the way that Mr. ********************** and his employees misrepresented this motorcycle. I requested that Mr. ********************** offer a partial refund in the amount of $2,000 as the bike is worth an estimated $500 for parts as-is.
