BUYER BEWARE – I WAS SOLD A WRECKED CAR SINCE I PURCHASED SIGHT UNSEEN.
Written by J Hayden on 08/12/2022

I recently purchased a 2019 Mercedes E53 AMG from this dealership. It was purchased sight unseen, which was a huge mistake considering the car had been wrecked and nobody was willing to be up-front about the damage to this $60k car they were selling. When my car was delivered from TX to FL, I noticed that the right rear-quarter panel was wrecked, and since the dealership never mentioned the car had been wrecked, I thought the damage happened during the transport. I called Mario to let him know about the damage, and he assured me that the damage must’ve been done during the transit, since the car had no such damage when it was at the dealership. In addition to the wrecked quarter-panel, there were multiple cracks in the windshield, large dents in both the driver and passenger door, tons of scratches down to the paint (extremely visible on a black car) and white paint spilled all over the rear left seat. Definitely not what I expected for a car less than 3yrs old with a price tag of $60k. I called the transportation company relative to the damage done, and was then provided pictures of the car during the pick up at Corpus Christi AutoNation. With the dealership in the background, I saw photos of the damage of the quarter-panel. I have tried reaching out to Mario, the sales manager Speedy and the dealership, but I am being completely ignored. They are well aware of Mario lying to me, and nobody will reach back out to me. I wouldn’t recommend this dealership to my worst enemy, much less to someone that is buying out of state. I am hoping someone finally reaches out to me so I can take this post down, but I’m not holding my breath considering how I’ve been ignored by everyone I’ve reached out to at this dealership.
