| Description of the problem | On august 2019 i purchased a vehicle from an auto dealership called motor car concept in colonial drive in orlando, fl. They scam me into buying a vehicle that they knew was not going to be running or in good conditions within 6 months. I tried to have them fix the car within a day of buying the vehicle as the check engine turned on. They will give me days to come in and then i will show up and nothing will be done, turning me down as they where "to busy". On november i was put into a position of voluntary doing a repossession as i was paying insurance and a car loan for a vehicle that could not be used. The whole part of the the bottom of the car is moldy and rusty and it needs to be fully replaced. I went to get an estimate for repairs and the total was over $7,000. The car was sold to me for $13,000. Is a complete scam. Below please find the pictures of the damages of the vehicle. Vin # for this car is (xxxxx) redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
