Subject: IML: Warning: bad
dealership!!
Eric found a 1965 Imperial for sale
at a dealership that was mentioned on this site right after we purchased it,
called Country Classic Cars, located in Staunton Illinois. The main thing is, is that we bought this car soley on the
fact that we would be able to go for family rides this summer in it. The
car will not even drive around our yard. It is so not driveable that he
can barely even start it up. I am no car expert so I don't know
everything that is wrong, but I feel bad for Eric that he was taken
advantage of so badly. >>
I urge you to report this to the State's Attorney General's
office, State of Illinois, and to their office of consumer
affairs. I feel certain they have consumer affairs office or
bureau, even though I do not live in Illinois. You also should look into
a way you might be able to pull this guy's license to operate. Just for
the record: Be careful with eBay sellers too. eBay offers an
inspection service, which saved me a SERIOUS headache on a 1960 Imperial Crown
Southampton that I was "dieing to have." The deal died after I got the
report from the inspector, which presented a very different car from what the
sellers were presenting.
