Not as represented:
We purchased a Ferrari from Exotic Classics after having it inspected by a Ferrari dealer. Exotic Classics provided photos showing the convertible top in good condition, assured us that the car was in great condition and provided a warranty that the convertible top was operational. When the car arrived, the top rail was bent, the soft top was torn in several places and the power top did not work. The inspecting Ferrari dealer confirmed that the top rail was straight and the top not torn when inspected. We received photos taken at Exotic Classics after our purchase but before shipping which showed the convertible damage. We also discovered that the front under the body shell had been removed and that the rear under the body shell was severely damaged and a portion of it missing. The inspecting Ferrari dealer confirmed that the shells were in place at the time of the inspection. Craig of Exotic Classics warranted that the car was “all original” and represented that it had never been in an accident; we discovered that the front bumper was repaired or replaced and that the paint color on it did not match the rest of the car. The right door was not operational and we discovered that the inner handle was broken and another part was missing; again, the inspecting Ferrari dealer confirmed that it operated at the time of the inspection. So far, we have repair estimates in excess of $11,500 and Exotic Classics is providing no assistance or reimbursement for its warranty.
