It´s
bout 3 weeks since talking to Jon Sherman salesman for Daniel Schmitt
with no return call from him on the staus of the buy-back of my car at a
lesser price. As I had offered it back to them for $22,500.00, having paid them $27,000.00 for the car. I called him and another salesman there told me Jon would return my call the next day. He did not!
When I called back the day after, Jon Sherman said he had talked with his ¨Boss¨and said they would only consider taking the ´74 Vette back in on consignment. Only after prompting did he admit that there would be costly fees for that service, and there were no guarranties Since I had already dropped the price I wanted to recover for the car by about $5,000.00 I told him that was impossible.
This whole deal was a scam from the beginning, in that upon first phone contact with Daniel Schmitt & Company I was required by Jon Sherman to put a deposit of $2,000.00 on my Mastercard, to hold the car for my inspection.(Later Jon told the $2,000.00 was non-refundable if I didn´t buy th car)
Then he emailed me papers to sign and send back which turned out to be an agreement to purchase, upon which I inserted the words ¨upon inspection¨(which he told me was meaningless)
I felt preasured by Jon because of the deposit situation and because they were able to keep me from seeing the frame damage through use/positioning of hoist pads I had no out and felt obligated to take the car. (1picture of 2 in original report)
It´s Dealers like Daniel Scmitt & Company in St Louis, who give the whole car sales industry a black eye with their sleezy, underhanded way of doing business.
