What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
I am not sure what help I can get but I figured it could not hurt to post something here.
On 7/24 we purchased a 1965 mustang on ebay. The listing read that the cars body work was 90% done. There was some light surface rust and the floor pans needed some attention. The seller also stated that it was an ongoing project that he did not have time to finish. In an email we received from him he stated that the floor boards would need light patching and that the complete floor would not need to be replaced. He also stated that all in all the car is very solid & should be a very simply fixer upper.
On 7/25 I sent payment via overnight express mail.
The car arrived on 7/26. The seller had some employees drop it off and took off immediately. After a through inspection we found that the auction and email that was sent to us was completely untrue. We had a body shop manger inspect the vehicle with his final word being that the car was more than 50% rotted out and would require more time and money that the car was worth.
According to an employee the seller is now in Mexico. The employee that we spoke with stated that he wanted to buy the car and would pay us what we paid for it . About an hour later he called back stating that he would only buy the car if we left positive feedback on the transaction. We refused. We told him that when we have the cash in hand we will leave feedback.
In a conversation later on 7/28 he stated that he and the seller were just a middle man. That they sold the car for someone else. We argued that the account the car was sold on was the sellers and it should have been acurately described. We also told them that the car was grossly misrepresented and we wanted a full refund. They refuse.
What can we do from here?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Wendy
