I bought a 2003 Maserati Coupe from Neil Marcellino with Scozak Auto Systems. Neil wrote on the Ebay AD and I quote, "This car runs BEAUTIFULLY and is Ferrari Fast." Wow, what a disappointment, when I get the car from the shipper, Global Motors Co about 4 miles from my house and it breaks down before I even get home! It has a blown clutch! And is about $7,500 to fix.
I messaged him after I saw the ad on Ebay (at link - http://cgi. Ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI. Dll? ViewItem&item=270740713264&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK: MEWAX: IT), and I ask Neil what it would take to stop the auction on Ebay and he says $19,500 with free door-to-door shipping anywhere in the USA (cause he obviously did not want me to come pick it up and then break down on my way home from Florida). So I wire him the money after researching his company and everything, instead of his name which was a big mistake. Then I get constant excuses of why it took 3 weeks to actually ship. During this long process, I even offer to come get the car or fly in and drive it back, but on many occasions, he "supposedly" already had shipping scheduled and has to ship it once its booked, I heard dozens of scammy and sleezy excuses. Like how trucks were breaking and how cars would not come off of transport trucks, just all total CRAP! After much headache, I finally get the car and before I could even drive 4 miles home it breaks down. So I then have it towed to an import place in Springfield, Mo and then they have me take it to St Louis for further inspection. Then after trailer-ing it up to St Louis, the Maserati place there says that I have a blown clutch and its super-expensive to fix.
The MORAL of the EXCUSES was that he knew that I would NEVER make it home.
Not only was there a blown clutch, but dozens upon dozens of other problems. The clutch was just the biggest one! Every single piece of black plastic in the car was covered in this BLACK, STICKY, TAR*.
Just after driving it those 4 miles my hands and arms were absolutely covered in that stuff!

Also, I cannot sue him because I filled out a ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (which keeps him from having to come to Missouri), a RELEASOR AGREEMENT (which releases Scozak from anything being wrong with the car), and an AS-IS No Warranty form. The first thing the Attorney said, was OH MY GOSH, this guy is a Scam artist and has done this to several other people, because those papers dont normally get signed!
The JUST of the story is that *NEIL MARCELLINO* and *SCOZAK AUTO SYSTEMS* are a bunch of scamming, lieing, con-men!
*i beg you not to do business with them, no matter what they say, please save your money!!!
I lost $20,000, please dont make the same mistake I did.
If you want to hear more or are thinking about buying something from these low-life scam artists then call me first, my name is Cody and my number is 417-343-4397.
Thanks
