Complaint Type:: Product Issues
Status:: Answered
The business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer either a) did not accept the response, OR b) did not notify BBB as to their satisfaction.

Date of Transaction - 5/18/2021 Was on EBAY looking at classic cars. Put my phone down and when I did somehow the button clicked for me to purchase a classic car. The company immediately put a $500 hold on my credit card. Within 5 minutes - I hit the cancel button. They emailed me back asking if this was a mistake - I apologized and said yes it was a mistake that the button had been hit accidentally and that I was not interested in the car and wanted to cancel the transaction. I followed up with an email CANCELLING the transaction - and they are refusing the cancellation.

We Purchased a **** VW Bus through OVE/MANHEIM Auction that was being sold by this company (PJs Auto World ***** on a GREEN LIGHT / FRAME DAMAGE: NONE . We spoke on the phone prior to me purchasing this bus and I was assured that this bus was in tip top shape. Upon receiving the vehicle, we found it to have Frame / Structural Damage,( front subframe support was CUT OUT ) the Brake wheel cylinders are all leaking, the front end is falling out of it.... After bringing all this to the sellers attention I was told that because the bus is over 20 years old I cannot return it even though this bus was COMPLETELY MISREPRESENTED by the seller and purchased on a Green light- meaning no real issues. This bus IS NOT EVEN DRIVABLE due to the Frame / Structural Damage and leaking wheel cylinders, and this is only a few of the issues this bus has. This is a warning to anyone buying from this dealership, that the cars are misrepresented and any damage or issues are not disclosed prior to purchasing. BUYERS BEWARE

This vehicle was sold on Manheim Online Vehicle Exchange which is a WHOLESALE auction site between auto dealers.

This is a dealer to dealer transaction and any vehicle of this age is sold in AS-IS condition.

The purchasing dealer was compensated for some repairs by Manheim. Clearly this person does not understand the auction process.

I would also like to add that there were numerous detailed photos of this vehicle including the underside posted online and the purchaser had the opportunity to inspect the vehicle before buying it.

We purchase cars all the time through auction with no problems. Also, the detailed pics on the site DID NOT SHOW NOT ONE PICTURE WHERE THE ***** WAS CUT OUT, some how those pictures were left out. Also the bus was ran through the auction with ***** DAMAGE listed as NONE and had a green light. We were offered & accepted $1500 before we were informed that ***** DAMAGE is arbitrational no matter the age of the vehicle. . This bus was misrepresented, and we even spoke to the selling dealership on the phone who ensured us this bus was in nice shape because we were not coming to see in person first hand. NO one disclosed that a portion of the frame was cut out, the bus was leaking oil everywhere, the wheel cylinders are all leaking, the front end is literally falling out of it, trans axles leaking. This bus was not even drivable when we received it. Try to justify this all you want, the vehicle speaks for itself along with other reviews where people seem to have problems with the vehicles purchased under misrepresentation from your dealership.
