This happened in 2012 - I spoke with Big Bucks Auto over the phone about my car. I described the car in full detail and answered their questions. The Car: a 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet with 11,400 miles. The car was only 8 years old. I paid $93,000 They gave me a low and high end quote based on what we discussed. The low end was $38,000 too low but the high number $42,000 would work. They assured me that we would get a deal done. I drove over and they looked at my car. The owner approached me and said "Amazing Car" even better than what I had described over the phone to them. He then asked me, "Did you ever drive this thing because there are no road debris anywhere". I responded yes, I drove it 11,400 miles and he laughed. He said come inside and lets get a deal done. FYI, the car was fully serviced, waxed and prepped for resale. I owned it out right making for an easy transaction. There was nothing that they would have to do to prep it for sale. They made a few calls and then told me that they were prepared to pay me $25,000. I was shocked. I had a show room perfect car, not a single nick, ding or scratch. The number they offered was $13,000 lower then the lowest quote they mentioned. I was furious and wanted to know why they would waste my time with such non-sense. They responded with: Your car is worth what we originally quoted and we did not lie to you sir. The problem is that your car is a luxury item and that the economy is weak and luxury items are hard to move along. We could write a check for the $25,000 right now and get you a cab to the train to get you home. I'm still in shock!!!!!!!! This is preposterous!!!!!!!!!! Were they joking?? Nope they were 100% serious. Gee, I guess if they were buying a $1,000,000 home they would offer $300,000 and expect to close a deal. What *** Bags to waste people's time this way. Unfortunately this posting is the only way to alert people to their unethical business practices. I drove my car over to my local Porsche dealer. they wrote me a check on the spot for $43,000. These bastards would have cheated me out of $18,000!!!!!!! My Reply: I hope you guys go out of business!!!!!!
