Car condition misrepresented
• List price: ~$7000, Total with shipping fees, ~$10,000
• July 28, 2025: During a video call, the dealer stated the vehicle “drives smooth and runs well.”
• July 31, 2025: I paid for a pre-purchase inspection in Hallandale, FL. The report noted a worn drive belt, which the dealer agreed to replace.
• August 2, 2025: Signed purchase paperwork. Vehicle delivered August 10, 2025. Upon delivery, I noticed defects and did not receive the title. Repeated attempts to contact the dealer from August 11–14 went unanswered.
• August 15–17, 2025: The car began overheating. A Cambridge, MA repair shop deemed it unsafe to drive without engine disassembly. Quote: ~$3,400.00 to fix vehicle
• September 18, 2025: Title still not received. Dealer offered a trade-in and limited repairs, but no refund.
• October 13 & 21, 2025: Brought to Herb Chambers Mini in Boston for repair. Total came to $16,939.83. Attached is the invoice with details about what they had to repair.
Based on these events, I believe the vehicle’s condition was misrepresented and that the pre-purchase inspection failed to identify serious issues. I am pursuing legal remedies regarding this transaction. Buyers should carefully document all representations and inspections.
