:( need 370z members help in this story

jdmlove · 08-12-2010, 07:36 PM

hi all,

something really bad happened to me and i want to share my story and i hope someone can help.

My name is Ahmed, i live in a country called Bahrain. i have a friend who work in a car dealer in GA. he purchased for me a 370z before one month ago.

the car was in Albaama Crest Caddillac! he bought it and drove it to GA.

just today they guy who purchased the car told me that few cars in his showroom was stolen. and they stole my 370z.

he told me that there is no insurance on the car since he was trying to change the title when car was stolen.

anyways, they did an investegation but nothing happened.

so i asked for the sulotion. he gave me 2 sulotions:

1- he take a personal loan and give me my money bak ( he's not sure if the bank will give him 33 000 USD)

2- if the bank wont approve the loan, i choose another 370z in GA and he will take an auto loan and buy it for me then send it to me!!

my first question is: if he took a car loan, how he will ship the car and its titled with the bank name !!! (i dont know about US system)

my secound question did anyone here heared about that a showroom were stolen in GA? i dont want to put his dealer name here. so it dont effect his reputation.

any help ?? any advices ??

i really dont know wat to do!!

I did a search on our local paper (I live in Atlanta, GA) and did not see any stories that they had written about a dealership having cars stolen. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, just didn't get reported in the news bureau or is not in the Atlanta area.

Checked google and didn't see anything there either.

If thr title was still dealership. Their insurance cover. Otherwise his insurance would havr. Otherwise he just didnt get insurance and is lying to you. At all times some party has to have insurance on the car.

didymus · 08-12-2010, 07:58 PM

Sounds fishy?

jdmlove · 08-12-2010, 07:59 PM

he told me that the insurance was only for 10 days after the purchase!!

shabarivas · 08-12-2010, 08:12 PM

Then what he was doing was illegal and you can get your money back... I still dont understand why you paid him before getting the car in hand...

jdmlove · 08-12-2010, 08:14 PM

we trust this, actually he shipped for us 10 cars before the 370z!

sooo!! am really in a bad situation. i dont know about procedures or laws in the US!! but he told me that the insurance was only for 10 days!!

That is how it has to be done though, it is all cash up front to export a car legally.

damn. sorry to hear this... i say you get him shipped to you and kick his *** for lying... lol

This sounds messy, frankly if you're out that much money I'd personally book a ticket, get stateside, talk to the dealership and get this resolved. If he's lying to you, you'd want to be here and meet an attorney asap.

What color was it? Was it a base model? We'll keep our eyes open for you here in GA!

m4a1mustang · 08-12-2010, 10:14 PM

Did you get a VIN # for the car you paid him to get for you? I know you say you trust the guy but being so far away it's easy for someone to scam you -- especially in this economy where someone might be hurting for money.

m4a1mustang · 08-12-2010, 10:18 PM

Also, did he file a police report?

SgtGoldy · 08-12-2010, 10:25 PM

hmmm... that sounds just a lil 2 fishy... I would be extremely catious

SmoothZ · 08-12-2010, 11:02 PM

I know a similar story. Basically, the 'dealer' took your money and sold the car to someone else. Good luck getting anything out of this.
