Help with a dead-beat in New Hampshire
Hi all,
Well, I bought a 70 GTO, 4-speed, A/C (sight unseen - mistake) from this loser in New Hampshire. Claimed the car was "all numbers matching".. Turns out, the engine is a restamp, tranny is for a '68 something, and its got a Chevy 10 bolt rear. He tells me all the electrics work... when the car arrives.... NO wipers, radio, horn, fan, A/C clutch engagement, generator light, brake light, reverse lights. So, I start driving the car.. and I ask him "is this car running a thermostat.. it runs cold"... he replies "Yup definitely"... I take the upper hose off. .and yeah, you guessed it... no thermostat. Anyway, partly my fault for buying a car sight unseen and trusting this loser. Anyway, the other sore point is when the car arrived, all the lower A/C duct work is missing.. he says "oh yeah, I have it, I'll send it to you".. That was a month ago.. and nothing. (The car sat in his garage for 2 months after I bought it, you'd think he'd have time to remember the duct work and drop it in the car - but no). If anyone lives near Swanzey New Hampshire, and wants to help me extract at least my A/C ducts from this dead-beat.. it sure would be a help. Thanks, Fred p.s.- I'm still trying to determine if he's stupid, deceptive, or possibly a combination of both. Oh yeah, and he's trying to sell a white judge... which I now here is a big POS, so watch out. |
How bout a name?
You should have had it inspected by someone from the board. As for your duct work. your most likely SOL. He has your money and that the end in his mind. |
Tell him that you are not afraid of flying up to NH and suing him civilly and reporting this matter of fraud to the NH Attorney General's Office

ok, I know I am venting now... but I just realized he even kept the spare tire and jack!! See pics below .. the first is a pic he sent of the trunk prior to purchase, the second is a pic I just took this morning.
unbelieveable! |
getmygoat,
I'm not too far from this guy. Maybe I can setup an "appointment". PM me. I think it would be great to have a new topic called "local inpections for fellow PY'ers". This new topic could be useful for non-Pontiac purchase assistance too (pickups, boats, etc...) as many of us are buying out of state. Ccass? Moderators? |
I Agree Dan....Ive been meeting alot of really great Pontiac People for a Long time and
anything that helps us network and get things done is a big plus for the hobby...IMHO... Now who does this soapbox belong to? |

I'm not looking to buy, but I can certainly check some cars out for anyone. |
There are some guys down here in Houston and the surrounding areas that would help out.

Been there, done that, got the t shirt. Good luck to you buddy. It's much harder to take legal action against a private seller than a dealer. Read this, i know EXACTLY how you feel. :sorry: :(
