JMO, mid 20's for the car if an adjustment is to be made, however, if that is the case and you get an adjustment, then the next owner that you try to get your mid 20's out of the car, will want a discount because the tag is not correct...and it continues. A big headache ....the car is beautiful in the pics...

At this point you have nothing to lose - get everyone involved starting with a lawyer. Worst case, you get an adjustment.

Spoke to the dealer this morning, and he offered to completely refund the purchase, which I think is a good offer. I said I would take the car for $28,500 (they originally listed it at $42,500, and I had paid $38,500). He said that have $37K into the car, but would refund $5000. I asked for $6000 back to make it $32,500. They mulled it for a while and agreed, on the condition that I sign a waiver indicating the vehicle was sold in "as-is" condition.
He seemed pretty confident that he could sell the car without the trim tag for $35K, which might be true. He's placing a lot of value on the fact that it has a 396 (numbers matching or not), but i've got a 396 under my workbench, so I guess I don't think of them as that valueable! Maybe I should starting buying 307 cars, sticking 396s in them and with $50 in badges from Year One, turn a profit :-) In the end, regardless of what happened originally, I think these guys were pretty much a class act in their followup. They were polite, cordial, returned calls and answered emails, and of course, offered to revoke the deal at my choice. I'd have no hestitation buying from them again, though I'd place a lot less faith in the what the ad said and check things more closely on any car! I've spent a lot of time researching Camaro values this weekend, and I think $32,500 is a decent price for the car. You can find them cheaper in rougher condition and you can pay a lot more to get numbers matching, but this seems to be a sweet spot. |

I think you should take the full refund and with your newly obtained knowledge, find a real car you will be happy with.
(Or take the full refund, send the car back and wait a week and then walk in with $28,500 cash, your original offer, telling them that since the world knows its a fake car, they should sell it to you at that price to avoid any further bad publicity) ![]() |

second the run with your dough..you would be hard pressed to get your dough back down the road...
more and more of these cars are being black balled by the net and when you decide to sell there may even be a web site for folks to check on funny cars and this one would be listed...just a little info to mull around before parting with your hard earned dough. Bud. |

IMO if you would have bought your flood insurance before the flood instead of trying to get it after the fact you would have avoided all of this crap. As it stands now you have drug a good mans name thru the mud
