Title: Caveat Emptor..another
Post by: william on September 05, 2015, 12:19:57 AM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Camaro-ss396-/111763396375?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1a059e1717&item=111763396375

Ad states the car has the original window sticker and shippers' copy. Both are bad repros, several ECL errors. Also the body number on the tag does not match the number on the fake docs.

Best of all, they misspelled Los Angeles ::)

Post by: 69 Zee on September 09, 2015, 04:50:17 AM: I guess the same person that misspelled Los Angeles on the window sticker also misspelled Nevada and Polyglas in the ad.

Post by: Charley on September 09, 2015, 01:35:13 PM: So has anyone bothered to tell the Ebay seller his docs are fake ?
Title: Re: Caveat Emptor..another
Post by: Charley on September 09, 2015, 06:39:42 PM: I sent him a message and he thanked me and said he would look into it.
Title: Re: Caveat Emptor..another
Post by: Charley on September 09, 2015, 11:28:55 PM: He contacted the guy he got the car from and the guy told him it was no different than a Marti Report. He is going to change the ad. I explained that a Marti report was based on real records and not just a fabbed up paper.

Post by: cook_dw on September 10, 2015, 01:55:35 AM: Nice job Charley.. At least the guy selling is going to change the ad... Most wouldnt care and pass it along to the next guy.
Title: Re: Caveat Emptor..another
Post by: BillOhio on September 10, 2015, 02:23:24 AM: If the current ad is what he changed he could care less. Says if you don't like it keep it to yourself. Nice guy

Post by: KurtS on September 10, 2015, 04:13:28 AM: I contacted him several days ago. He thanked me.
Sounds like you got farther with him. :)

Post by: 68 Ragtop on September 10, 2015, 05:36:44 AM: Was there really a Fletcher Jones Chevrolet back in the day?
There is a Fletcher Jones dealership near me, but it's Mercedes. Maybe related?

Post by: basecoupe#79 on September 10, 2015, 08:03:30 AM: Yes, Fletcher Jones Chevrolet was the Chevy Dealer in Vegas and I think in SoCal as well. The old man always had an animal with him when he did commercials. And they sold imports as well. And still do.
Title: Re: Caveat Emptor..another
Post by: Charley on September 10, 2015, 12:50:37 PM: He ended the auction. Maybe the only way to rewrite the ad ?

The most iconic and classic car dealer ad came from Cal:

Although this is a personal favorite as well:

Post by: firstgenaddict on September 29, 2015, 10:44:23 PM: The body number on the paperwork was issued(confirmed) long after that TT/car was built... lol
Title: Re: Caveat Emptor..another
Post by: william on February 22, 2022, 02:54:45 PM: It's back. Same fake paperwork from the 2015 ad. Many obvious errors on the Car Shipper.

Title: Re: Caveat Emptor..another
Post by: rocco376 on May 21, 2022, 12:12:24 PM: Couldn't agree more. William and Kurt saved me from an expensive blunder of a purchase in the past.
