What is the name of your state? Virginia
I recently purchased a vehicle on ebay from a small dealer in Florida. The car was advertised as "Like New in every way, vehicle runs and drives 100%, all systems function correctly, exterior is beautiful, paint is glossy and has no dents and dings, beautiful wheels and tires." I called several times during the process to confirm the condition and was assured "I would be pleased." Needless to say we were not pleased, the transport company noted 8 issues (dents and other damage) on the transportation paperwork. The car would not pass state inspection and was not in the condition that the dealer advertised. We called them immediately and asked them for a full refund and that the car needed to be picked up. They replied, what did you expect for the amount paid? They also suggested that I put the car back on ebay and just simply resell. They implied that because they sold the car "as is" nothing else really mattered? They were very arogant about it. I have talked to several FL. state organizations and all they did was refer me to someone else. We have close to $5,000 additional dollars invested in this "like new" car and I can't seem to find anyone in FL. that is willing to help us out. I have no problem at all going to FL if need be. Something needs to be done about this type of deception where the seller thinks, because of the distance, the buyer can't do anything. Any suggestions?
