Rami Sulieman of Diamond Motorworks is a Total Scam Artist!!! I saw he had a nice 2001 Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo on Ebay and I really wanted it. The pics were beautiful and it only had 9,000 miles on it. I offered $45,000 for it and he said ok. So I sent a wire transer right away. When I finally got the car it looked old and the paint was not very good. This should be a show room vehicle with this mileage btw. I am a used car dealer in Washington DC and I took it to the local Rockville Maryland Lotus dealer to check it out before I sell it to any of my customers. (I refuse to sell bad cars). The service manager called me back and said everything was ok but did I know that the car was originally Caribbean Blue? I was shocked! I knew right there I lost 10k-15k. A color change on a Honda civic is not a big deal. But on a $45k Lotus Twin Turbo is it a VERY big deal. He totally lied to me and after I told him I would sue him he agreed to buy it back for $39,500. I knew I would win in court but he had my money. So it would be tied up for a year I am certain. I decided to take a loss and get my money back. When I showed the vehicle to the detailer he spotted blue paint showing in every section of the car. The black paint wasn't even done very well. This was not the car I saw in the photos. Rami apparently bought it from a man in Texas and never had it at his lot until I sent him the money. He used photos of another Lotus. He does lots of consignment sales where he never sees any of the cars. But according to his website the vehicles are all inside his warehouse. I looked at the paperwork that was in the owners manual and saw the previous owner took it to a shop and found out the same thing. So he quickly dumped the car. He was lucky I didn't see the car before I bought it. The black paint was so rough. It looked worse then a MAACO job. How can you paint this way on a Lotus? Bottom line this guy is a dirt bag. He is a total pathological liar. Do not give him your money. You will regret it. I was fooled because I looked at his great feedback on Ebay. I didn't buy it on Ebay unfortunately. I bought it outside and suffered because of it. Rami Sulieman is a snake do not trust him like I did. Apparently he screwed alot of people over. I saw many reports about his dealings online. But he is such a snake and he is removing the reports on various "consumer protection" websites.
