The Taverna Collection

Horrible from beginning to end. They have stolen my money, fraudulently taken my money, repeatedly lied, and continue to ignore me. Not one single person ever did anything they said They have stolen my money, fraudulently taken my money, repeatedly lied, and continue to ignore me. Not one single person ever did anything they said they would do. The most dishonest, unprofessional, and immoral group of people I’ve ever had the misfortune of interacting with. Absolute thieves!!

Horrible, dishonest company! ! Do not buy from these crooks! Taverna Collective, Inc. is clearly in violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (or “FDUTPA”) ! Do not buy from these crooks! Taverna Collective, Inc. is clearly in violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (or “FDUTPA”). The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (or “FDUTPA”) is Florida legislation which operates to protect consumers from unscrupulous business practices such as unfair methods of competition, unconscionable acts or practices and unfair or deceptive acts or practice in the conduct or trade of a business. I was assured this vehicle was "running great" and "no mechanical issues" and "it runs like a top" and "I drove it myself - it's great". All lies and deception. A Taverna representative called me today offering $700, which is a joke (at best); however, it also is an admission to liability. I was verbally assured numerous times how great this car is and that it ran great and there were no mechanical issues. I bought the vehicle and did not inspect it based on what I was told numerous times during the process of selling me this Mini Cooper. I was lied to and Taverna is a deeply dishonest company misleading its customers by delivering unsafe, perilous vehicles in bad faith with especially intentional fraud against out of state customers. My future lawsuit will include a request for attorney’s fees and all costs incurred due my experience with Taverna. I almost cannot wait to see what a Judge says about this lawsuit, coupled together with the other ones filed against Taverna. I am also very interested in hearing what the Attorney General Moody may have to say as well. She received a copy of correspondence today. Taverna employs a 7-day return policy after receipt of the vehicle with your company. I did not receive my purchased vehicle until August 9, 2023. That is almost a full month after the date of purchase, which does not allow me to return it within 7 days of the date of purchase because it was delivered to Michigan. Clearly, the misleading and false information regarding the vehicle’s mechanical condition was a venture you likely predicted would happen, and it would happen outside the timeframe of your unreasonable 7-day window to return the 2008 Mini Cooper if any mechanical repairs were needed. Interesting that language is included as a caveat in your final sale documents package. The vehicle (as you no doubt are well aware) is completely, mechanically unfit and unsafe for anyone to drive. It is, however, appropriate for a junk yard, and it is my personal perspective that you knew this when you sold me this “lemon.” The vehicle was driven to Michigan and delivered to me on August 9 which is almost one month after I purchased it online. Upon driving it, I immediately contacted Zac (the salesman) at Taverna and spoke to him about the oil leaks and explained that the car was running very rough. He told me, “The vehicle is fine. It doesn't have any issues. I drove it myself." However, upon a professional inspection by Sharpe BMW Jaguar in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the vehicle has numerous issues including six (6) oil leaks which have affected several other areas of the vehicle mechanically including timing chain, and other items to the tune of almost $7,400. You have in your possession, the estimate with these costs. Further, as you can see in the estimate, there are numerous issues with fluids leaking and/or not even present, and it is evident that no one properly took care of the vehicle with oil changes, anti-freeze/coolant in the vehicle. This Mini Cooper was doomed before it ever left the Taverna Collection Inc. parking lot based on the numerous mechanical repairs required for this vehicle to even remotely resemble the mechanically sound, well running vehicle that was described to me at the time of the sale. Additionally, upon filing a Complaint against The Taverna Collection with the Better Business Bureau yesterday, I became aware (not surprisingly, however) that there are numerous complaints for the very same reasons.
