I Broke Down and bought my Dream Ferrari, a 360 Modena. It looked to be really nice, with just a bit of cosmetic wear! But within 20 seconds of it's arrival, I found out that I had been scammed...

Unfortunately, the auction house is at the behest of the seller. They're just a 3rd party that helps with the listing and transaction. They don't have the time, resources, or knowledge to do a thorough inspection of every vehicle. They have disclaimers all over the site detailing such. The sellers should be made public so they can be banned after shady auctions.

@@erickorff1919 the auction house in this case should be acting as a mediator for foolishness such as this. the car was misrepresented.. ie: the seller lied. did CP ban this seller? demand they re-run the auction with a proper disclosure? nope. so why pay the premiums at a place like this when you are better off just buying off of facebook marketplace? you can get screwed for a lot less money there. same reason i buy from amazon now instead of ebay. ebay wont back anything and hold sellers accountable. but hey, if CP wants to get a name for not doing anything about scammers who use their service to rip people off, then so be it.

Honestly I do my own mechanic work but would never own a car like this, I watch the videos because of your admirable attitude when it comes to practically fixing things that're broken beyond reasonable repair. If you sell it on that's cool, I would do the same lol... but also like I said, you are the master of forcing these things back to life on a budget.

Thanks Cxxxxxx. I recently purchased a Ford Escape from Cxxxxx, supposedly only had hail damage. Took it off the trailer, put it in gear and the transmission light lit up. Transmission was ruined. I got the same reaction from Cxxxxx that Sam did, essentially, "stick it in your ear." . I sent it back to the auction to get rid of it and they listed it with mechanical issues. I lost $2,000. About 50% of what I paid for it. Buyer beware.

You did 90% of the work, I think it would have been better to just install the new engine, new trans, and enjoy the car or sell it for more money.

I think that you should have taken legal advice and pursued it with the auction….. whilst you are in a position to minimise loss and absorb some loss, others aren’t. As a home gh profile KZbinr you should set an example, if only to safeguard others falling in to the same problem. It also may fall under fraud laws and need to be progressed within the police arena. The key is intent to defraud.

i would have made a stink at the auction and demanded they do something about it or i would have complained to, well in the uk we have trading standards to help get our money back, and they usually win. i get why you didnt make more of this but there are lots of car auction sites in the US, so would it have been all that bad?

Most of North America has consumer protection acts you could write on the back of a stamp. It's a continent of scams and rip offs and when it happens to you, you're usually boned.

Hi Sam. That's terrible what the Auction did. But as you said the Auction is your Bread and Butter so you didn't want to annoy them. Would Ratarossa not buy it off you??. Anyway you did the only thing you could do was to get the Hell out from under it. Well done bro. It's Great to see you again. More video's please. 😅 🇨🇮

You did the right thing in getting rid of the Ferrari, based on the facts as described. If you didn't have the passion for the car any longer then it makes no sense to expend money or effort to make it right. The one exception to all this for me is, having seen Andrew's LS swap Ferrari, I might have wanted to duplicate that as a long-term driver. I'm not a purist when it comes to foreign cars (not a collector), so I would rather maintain an LS Ferrari that ruins than a finicky all-original Ferrari with problems just waiting to show their expensive faces. Having watched you deal with your other Ferraris, it seems clear that you base your decisions more on $$ than on personal feelings about a car, since for you, there will always be another interesting/exciting car coming down the pike.

What I don’t get usually when you buy a car from the auction you can take a look at before you even buy, when I as a kid I used to go with my dad to the auctions “clean title auctions not copart “ and we could even go days before to check out the car etc

Yep, it's not good that they get away with fraud. You have a platform to help people, and letting us know who to avoid will help many not have the same thing happen to them.

I have very similar sounds and symptoms from my 2015 Mustang Ecoboost. I’ve had cylinders and bearings replaced, then the entire transmission replaced. Both shops said the problem was fixed. $4000 later, it’s not fixed.

You definitely made the right choice cutting your losses, you have enough money pits from our friends in Maranello already. Did you have any legal recourse with this auction house? BBB complaint doesn't mean much these days but it at least gets things in a searchable record.

I think you did right to get rid of it. Sometimes, its better to cut your loses quickly than extended and they can get out of control. You got lucky the market went upside down and used cars were more expensive for a short period. So you did catch a break there.

I purchased a vehicle online from a very high end car dealership up north almost two years ago. Such a beautiful vehicle that looked perfect, battery died on first day, crack in lower windshield, badly smashed body panel near jack point, several scratches in paint and one large gouge, clutch is weak, oil filter & sticker said 2011 and the OEM chrome wheels are pealing.
