First and foremost, I commend Shawn for working diligently to help me secure a car loan for a silver 2003 Porsche Boxster I wanted to purchase (see pictures below). Admittedly, my credit score was diligently to help me secure a car loan for a silver 2003 Porsche Boxster I wanted to purchase (see pictures below). Admittedly, my credit score was abysmal, but Shawn worked magic to make it happen and find a lender for me. Again, MAJOR credit to Shawn for working hard to secure me a car loan because, in that regard, he was amazing! Unfortunately, though, that's where the accolades end. NEVER in my 62 years on this planet have I EVER been yelled at by a car salesman! Why did Shawn yell at me, forcing me to hang up on him? As mentioned above, he worked hard to secure a car loan for me. He really worked his tail off to make that happen. So, I suspect he ended up yelling at me because he recognized that he worked hard to make the deal happen, but it eventually fell through. Why did it fall through? Well, Shawn did not think I was serious about buying the car because there were things I told him I would not do, one of which was I would not sign a Privacy Notice that would have allowed them to share my PERSONAL information with 3rd party entities, some of which that had NOTHING to do with automobiles! Secondly, he was furious at me because I would not relent on having him answer ONE key question: "Why does the Carfax say the Boxster has not been in any accidents, BUT the stack of forms you sent me to sign has not one but TWO letters/forms (see attached) that CLEARLY reference the car being in an accident?" WHY would Shawn get upset with me about asking that basic question before dropping over $20K on a car? Are you kidding me? But, don't take my word for it, here is EXACTLY what part of the letter says "The dealership has informed you that this vehicle was involved in a previous accident in which it sustained structure/unibody damage. This damage was disclosed by the auction and will be reported to the Carfax..." (see letters below) Now, you tell me. Was I wrong for asking such a simple question? Remember what I said earlier, a reference to the car having been in an accident was made TWICE in TWO different documents! So, any reasonable person would ask questions, but Shawn was upset with me because I pressed him on that, and I would not let him get away with telling me nonsense like "That is a standard form we do for all our cars." Come'on, Shawn, STOP IT! It was in TWO different documents! Did he REALLY think I was that gullible? Apparently so, but it didn't work. Instead of being HONEST and upfront with me, he turned the tables on me and yelled at me as he continued to switch the focus back to the list of things I told him I was uncomfortable with such as signing away my private information so they share it with other entities. Nope! I even told him, "Look, Shawn, I'm still willing to consider the deal but ONLY if you tell me the extent of the previous damage the documents refer to." He dug in and did not want to come clean. I continued, "If the damage was minor, I can deal with that. I just need to know exactly what the damage consisted of." Still, he ignored that and kept claiming the Carfax was clean. Well, at least there he didn't lie because the Carfax did say there were no previous accidents. However, Shawn messed up because one of the documents referred to a previous accident that had not yet been reported to Carfax. Ooops! Do you see a pattern here as with other reviews about Timeless Motors' staff not being honest? I had an external mechanic do an inspection, and the "red flags" IMMEDIATELY came up when I saw the mechanic's report saying "Appears that vehicle was in a minor accident and was repaired and painted." Also, part of the report noted "Body shop dust found in both front door handles" which CLEARLY indicated there was SOME type of work done on the car. Stay AWAY from this place! More
Do not buy a car from this dishonest dealership. Specifically asked about frame damage or structural damage. Even have his text stating no damage. Just before flying out after buying our airline Specifically asked about frame damage or structural damage. Even have his text stating no damage. Just before flying out after buying our airline ticket, suddenly we have a new damage report listed on car fax. Very dishonest! More
