Please read the whole story before you decide to purchase
From Flemings Ultimate Garage. I am writing
This in homes that Mr. Fleming will right his companies wrongs and bring a
Good name back to his business.
I cant believe these people. They claim they are enthusiasts,
And that they sell a quality product. I bought a 1972 Chevelle SS pro touring in
March, and could not more disappointed with
This purchase. I have had nothing but
Problems since they day I walked into the dealership.
Lets start from the beginning. I drove to hours to look at this Chevelle,
And I stood around for 45 minutes without any help until I lifted the hood on
The car. Thats when Rich (the salesman)
Came out to tell me not to touch the cars.
I explained to him that I was interested in this car, and asked him
About any mechanical issues, leaks, or other problems. He laughed at me and told me all cars have
Leaks (I wasnt born yesterday) and he told me this car was just fully
Restored. This salesman was very rude
During this process. I asked about the
Damp carpet and he said it was just some condensation. I took the car for a test drive, and told him
I would be back the next day.
The next day I found out it was not in fact a real SS as advertised. But they were very convincing in the fact
That it was still worth over 30000 dollars.
I also found out that it did not have the 500 hp as advertised. Despite these discrepancies, I decided to buy
The car. I even purchased it from Rich,
Who told me in front of my girl friend that she and I would not last long. (What kind of salesman says that?!)
Here is where the real problems start. The next week, I drove over two hours to pick up the car, and
When I got there, Rich told me it needed to be aligned, it needed interior
Pieces put in it, and a new fan module put in it, and they would not have it
Ready until the next day. I was a bit
Annoyed until I talked to the owner. He
Told me Rich misinformed me and the car would not be ready for a week! I was very upset! This was the third time I had driven down
There, and I was not going to do it again.
I went home and emailed Mr. Fleming himself. He agreed to have the car delivered, and
Throw in a new air cleaner for my troubles.
He also agreed to get the advertised heater installed.
It has been three months since the car was delivered and
Ive put only 500 miles on it. After detailing
The car, I have noticed that it is mostly bondo under the paint. The paint itself looks like it was done by a
12 year old and there is already rust showing at the bottom of the driver side
Door! The car ran out of gas once
Despite the gauge showing of a tank.
I went to get a car wash and almost drowned! The window seals are all junk! My carpet seems to always be soaked. I might as well have the windows down. Speaking of windows, the window cranks fell
Off and are junk. The back dash has
Warped. On inspection, I found that it
Was made of cheap cardboard. The fabric
On the sail panels near the back windows came apart and I had to repair those
Along with many other interior pieces. The
Rear ashtrays were not even secured into the arm rests. The passenger seat does not slide back and
Forth. The center console is broken. This car needs to go back to the shop so the
Interior can be re-restored the right way!
The exhaust leaks horribly (at least thats what I hope that ticking
Noise is), and it still leaks oil! It is
Consistently running hot and the transmission slips going into third gear. The gas cap was defective and was spilling
Gas every time I accelerated.
Dangerous! They still have not
Called me to get the heater installed.
Theres no way I can show this car in the condition its in, and Im
Afraid to drive it because I fear it will either overheat or the transmission
Will go out. Ive been tempted to drive
It back to Flemings Ultimate Garage, but Im pretty sure it will leave me
Stranded on the free way.
Overall, I am very unsatisfied with this purchase. I paid over 27000 dollars for this car, and
Its junk. Ill be surprised if its
Still in one piece by the end of the summer. I cant believe I was ripped off this
Bad. This is no way to run a business and
By the looks of it, these people are doing this all the time. Im so disappointed. I hope no more people get treated like I did
