Need Legal Help!
I purchased a 1990 Mercedes GD300 on ebay from The Law Auto Group Dealership loacated at Bensenville Illinois. They described the vehicle as no rust in & out (see attachment). I had the vehicle inspected by ebay recommended company WEGOLOOK, who did a terrible job inspecting, they did not inspect the undercarriage; but because the dealership had a good ebay/google rating, I was confident I was dealing with a legitimate company.
After completing the "buy it Now" on ebay, the ad was pulled out - I called dealership who reassured me all is fine... Now, I can'e even post a negative feedback on ebay, it was like the transaction never happened.
When my mechanic inspected the vehicle, the body to frame mounts were rusted out (all 4) with separation showing on one of the mounts (see photos)
I called the GM, who at first seemed empathetic, said he will investigate the matter. well, a week later he refused to take the car back. I suspect this vehicle had flood damage - The car Title shows they had this car in their inventory for 10 months - so it's not like they did not have time to inspect it for safety issue.
I contend that the Law Auto Group was aware of the safety problem; the vehicle was in their inventory for 10 months (title shows it) and was MOTIVATED to sell it anyway possible. The OPPORTUNITY was to sell it on ebay and INTENTIONALLY describing the vehicle as no rust issues failing to FULLY DISCLOSE the true problem of the car. Furthermore, once the sale was completed on ebay, they pulled the ad out, ensuring no negative feedback comes back to them and or future unsuspecting potential buyers will not see the transaction.
I Contend their actions was not only an to DEFRAUD, but CRIMINAL, knowing they were selling a defective vehicle that could hurt or kill myself, my family and or the public which by law, is outright illegal.
