Cars & Transport

In June I contacted Father and Son Autos (located in Lynbrook, NY - I bought the car off an Auto Trader ad) about a 2004 BMW 325 ci convertible. I asked him if it was in good shape, does the paint look good? He acted like he went outside and did a walk around of the vehicle.
FATHER AND SON AUTO CORP (LYNBROOK, NY) Also had the car listed in Auto Trader. It said the car was excellent and still under full factory warranty!

Sounded good to me AND the price seemed good! I buy the car and have it shipped to Atlanta, Ga where I live. Well, surprise surprise. It wasn't at all as he described!
Below is a list of the issues when the car arrived:
The two left rims had serious curb rash and dents in them - have to replace because the rims are BENT! (MY COST: $800 with tires)
Dent under the left rear break light
DEEP gouges in the left fender (must be sanded and repainted)
Scratches on hood (cant be buffed out)
Scratches on passenger side (cant be buffed out)
FRONT BUMPER IS GLUED ON!!!
Interior has touch up paint all over the place.
TOTAL TO REPAIR CAR IS OVER $2500.00

So, I call the guy... MIKE and say "Wow, whats going on here? This car isn't at all what you described" and I went through the list of issues. Needless to say, the conversation didn't go as expected. He flat out refused to help me. You know what he said about the rims? He said, "This is New York, we don't care about rims". Oh, whatever!!!

I took the car to the body shop for repairs. The estimate to repair the damage was $1200.00. UGH So I take the car to the repair shop and a few hours later, I get a call from the repair center. We cant remove the fender to sand and paint it because THE FRONT BUMPER IS GLUED ON! There are NO brackets holding it on, just glue! What??? OH, AND BY THE WAY, THERE IS BONDO ALL OVER THE HOOD. Ummm, the seller MIKE WITH FATHER AND SON AUTO didn't tell me about that either!!!

I cant even guess as to how much is will cost to have the glued on bumper removed. The shop said if they remove it, they might not be able to get it back on and then I would be looking at buying a new bumper for it. Oh this just keeps getting better!!!

These guys wont return my calls OR the 3 or 4 e mails I have sent asking/begging for some assistance with the repair.
