Thought I was buying a great car for my kid

Update by user Apr 27, 2018 After I complained to their local BBB, they responded with lies and no accountability. Can someone tell me how you consider me trying to strong arm a company by posting the truth and asking for the right thing to be done? I've never contacted either partner about taking postings down for payment. They feel because I signed electronically an As-Contract that I have no rights. Below is their response...oh yeah after they sent this they went to their website and took the pictures down of Jonathan and Steve as owners...still trying to deceive and mislead! Good thing I printed the page out, This is the first we are hearing about this issue at European Classics. Mr. Sepic is an independent contractor for European Classics that helps us with marketing and sales. I just consulted with Mr. Sepic and he said he was going to work with you and see what was wrong, but you submitted a bad review the morning after you asked him, not even giving him 24 hours to look into the issue that was in question. This car was sold as-is with no warranty (the signed agreement is attached). No one had to do anything, but Mr Sepic was willing to initially help. Mr McCarthy had the right to physically come see the vehicle but chose not to. Mr McCarthy also had the right to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic of his choice, but chose not to. Both of these clauses are also signed in the agreement. How the asking amount went from $500 to $3500.00, I have no clue. You can't blackmail us by submitting negative reviews everywhere in order to get money, telling us you will remove them if we pay you. That is not ethical. We are good people, but will not be strong armed. Once gain, this vehicle was purchased as-is with no warranty with all faults as expressly agreed upon and signed by Mr. McCarthy. Original review posted by user Apr 25, 2018 These guys auction a lot of their cars on eBay to people out of state. I purchased a vehicle for my kid to go to college. I transferred $9000 out my bank account to their company account at my bank on a car I was assured had no major problems. As soon as I received it off transport truck a few days later, engine light was on & won't pass any state emissions. I check the oil... black sludge! I had my mechanic flush engine twice almost $300 and replace camshaft/crankshaft magnets another $286 ...needs crankshaft balancer over $3500 to pull the engine out and do the work. I called them a few days later to ask why they sent the vehicle with the engine light on and not inform me. He replied that he had his mechanic take care of the problem by dropping the pan and draining the oil, but there was no engine light on when it was shipped out. The co-owner agreed to help pay $500 towards the new oil flushes I was having done. He wanted to mail a check, I refused. I told him he could go online and use MoneyGram, he said they were a legit business and they didn't work that way. He wanted to send through Paypal, I opened an account. I checked the account later and nothing so I happened to check my text messages he said he'd send it the next day. I felt he wanted me to work on his time schedule when at the time I was just tired of all the lies and excuses, so I sent him an email to let him know I'd see him in court. I left him a bad review on eBay where I saw his ad, he left a message I hurt his feelings and I was out of line for threating to sue his company. That he was with his mom at the doctor's office the day we agreed for him to send the money...that's why he left me a text he'd transfer it the next day. Is it just me, or do we all carry around smartphones which allow us to handle small transactions like that??? I guess he called eBay on me because they removed my bad review without following up with me. Filing a complaint with Attorney General's office & Financial regulations office in Florida with plans to file a lawsuit for repairs or return the vehicle for a refund. They have good reviews..they just decided to mislead me and go bad for profit. After some extensive investigating with a friend we found these jerks tried to sell the same car for $6,000 2 mos earlier...what does that tell you 2009 Mercedes E Class...really??? These guys found out back in Feb. this car had major engine problems that's why they were only asking $6000 back then to offset the cost of repairs. Check the description on the first link listed on eBay, this is why I bought the car, the second link is what we found after purchasing the car. http://vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=173259****78&t=151837****000&tid=10&category=6335&seller=europeanclassics1974&excSoj=1&excTrk=1&lsite=100&ittenable=false&domain=ebay.com&descgauge=1&cspheader=1&oneClk=1&secureDesc=0 This link is what they tried to sell it for in Feb 2018, I printed the page out for my lawsuit http://24carshop.com/product/amazing-2009-mercedes-benz-e-class-amg-sport-q2009-mercedes-benz-e-350-sport-sedan-loaded-with-nav-amg-heated-seats-2017****/
