DO NOT BE THEIR NEXT VICTIM !!

1

I wanted to purchase a reliable affordable vehicle and was looking for something Nostalgic after glancing at a few reviews and a couple conversations with the salespeople at Country Classic Cars I Purchased 1984 Chevy S10 for $6,000.00 plus $99.00 dealer fee &;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; $650.00 shipping with an additional $400.00 for valve cover repair need upon receipt of vehicle only to discover an additional repairs needed are estimated in excess of $3,500.00. Vehicle advertised as...... "1984 Chevy S10 Extended cab, 4x4, well kept, nice body and paint, good interior, factory rubber mat, Durango package V6 auto, PS, PB, a/c, bed rails, bed liner, runs and drives good." in this AD https://classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars/1984/chevrolet/s10_pickup/10122****. Steve the salesperson assured me the vehicle was sound with theses emails... Country Classic Cars cntryclsscrs@***.com via bounce.s4.exacttarget.com Oct 31, 2019, 9:24 AM "This S10 is available. Nice survivor. Runs good for sure Interested. Steve." Country Classic Cars cntryclsscrs@***.com Nov 1, 2019, 9:23 AM "I've driven it around here. It is a survivor and appears to had an easy life. If you know the S10 trucks you know they can last for a long long time. While this one isnt perfect or show quality it really does present itself well. I use to be an S10 fan. I wouldn't mind having this one. I will give you a call later today. A lot to do this morning. Steve." Ad and correspondence clearly indicate vehicle was in fully operable condition not a restoration pr119oject. However when I received the truck it had no A/C as advertised, No 4x4 as advertised, Did not run or drive good as advertised (severe oil leak could not be driven without risk of engine damage) Also the heater does not work, the hoses have been disconnected and capped. The cab has a leak causing headliner to fall. AD intentionally misleading not disclosing disconnected Heater and collapsing liner. I am attaching those photos and the photos showing the actual condition of the truck. I spoke with Russ Noel owner of Country Classic cars and addressed the main issues. The engine, heat, 4x4 and a/c. In our conversation he statedHe advertised A/C and 4x4 but did not say they worked (Show intent to defraud)that I should not have purchased from him if I could not do repairs to engine myself because of the expense of having a professional do it. I have transcript of those conversations available. Upon further investigation I spoke with the previous owner who informed me he disclosed Heat and A/C issue to Russ Noel at the time of their transaction and that he would have been aware and able to disclose engine issues to future buyers since Country Classic Cars did an inspection of the vehicle prior to finalizing purchase. I can also provide a transcript of that conversation. Additionally, & unfortunately in my searches I discovered this dealership has history of deceptive practices and at least one claim of previous complaint report to Illinois State Attorney General. I have included links to those resources.I want dealer to refund my money an pay for return shipping of vehicle. This is a case of blatant fraud and before pursuing criminal charges I would simply like to resolve this amicably. I do not wish to keep the vehicle and can not sell it for what I paid in to another individual good conscious in its present condition.
