I went online to look to buy a Ferrari that was being sold on ebay by Vehicle Direct Inc in Canada. Spoke initially to Hershel Kimel who stated that he was a partner in company. They were selling a 2001 Ferrari Spyder and all looked fine after speaking to him. I decided to trust him made several inquires and sent them $69,000.00 for purchase of this vehicle. Unfortunately after this everything went downhill. Just to get to the point they sent a Ferrari in open transport from Ontario to Miami after telling me that it was being sent in closed transport thus the reason that I needed to wait over 30 days to receieve. They not only lied about the method of transportatin but never sent a receipt, a bill of sale or the title for vehicle purchased to date. I have called numerous of times to speak to Hersh who tells me that I now need to speak to owner Mike Mcdonald and the transport company for any documents. Furtehrmore, he tells me that he cannot spend anymore time speaking to me because its a closed deal. I have purchased many vehicles to date on ebay and never had encountered such a lack off professionalism in my life during a transaction. Truly its been over 45 days since I purchased and paid for this vehicle and at this point I cannot drive nor get registered in Florida. I truly blame myself for not doing a more diligent job off knowing who I was dealing with. There are many negative comments against this company through google sites that I later found out searching on Yahoo and Google.
"I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WANTING TO BUY A HIGHEND CAR TO STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS! THEY WILL LIE TO YOU AND KEEP YOU WAITING FOR ANY DOCUMENTS AFTER THE FUNDS ARE IN THERE ACCOUNT. NOT SURE IF THEY PAY FOR VEHICLE OR JUST FLOAT THIS FOR SOMETIME THUS WHY DOCUMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THEY ARE TRULY OUT ONLY TO TAKE YOUR CASH AND SCREW YOU WHEN IT COMES TO THE PAPERWORK NEEDED. I HAVE NEVER FILED ANY REPORT AGAINST ANY DEALER IN 30 YEARS OF BUYING VEHICLES BUT THIS TRULY IS ONLY SO SOMEONE DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE REDICULOUS ISSUES THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH" STAY AWAY AND DO NOT GET SCAMMED!
I have already hired an attorney in Ontario who has filed a complaint with several agencies in Canada including Ministry of Consumer Services, Authorities of Motor Vehicles Canada and the Department of Fraudulent Transactions. The individuals that were part of this involved are Mike McDonald and Hershel Kimel. There information and cell numbers are . Whoever needs more information can contact me on my cell and I will happily give them any information they want concerning this problem. Truly unless sites like this exist buyers cannot be warned beforehand. Thus the reason I took time out of my busy day to file this report.
At this point we will see if any paperwork is given to me or title. I hope that eventually through legal means I will get some resolution to this problem. Will wait and see.
