Avoid this dealership! Crooks! They sell cars that they know were previously involved in wrecks.
I reside in a suburb of Chicago and I was working on a deal with this dealership on a Vapor Gray 2010 Jaguar XF Supercharged (last 5 of Vin 59821). I was working with Sunny, the sales guy and Jeremy Lustman, the general manager. Since I am skeptical about making such a large purchase for an item sight unseen, I asked Sunny for written confirmation that the car, which has only 32k miles, had no paint or body work. He assured me in at least one email that the car was in immaculate condition, with no paint or body work. However, Jeremy would not provide me with a written statement acknowledging the same. He also wouldn't give me a 3 day money back guarantee if the vehicle did not pass inspection by my local Jaguar dealership and body shop. The vehicle was on their lot for about 5 months, I figured something must be wrong. I decided to contact a body shop in Chantilly to inspect the vehicle for me. WOW! I am sure glad that I didn't return the signed paperwork as I was planning on that day. The shop found that the car was previously involved in a wreck! The front and rear bumpers had been painted and every panel on the passenger side had been repainted and body work. Also, one of the wheels was bent and looked like someone tried to repair it with a hammer. There were numerous tears in the right rear tire. There was also paint over spray on one or more of the windows and a few body panels!! Furthermore there was existing damage on the car, on the driver's side. The car fax and auto check show no accidents BUT that means nothing. Both Jeremy and Sunny are liars and crooks!!! Attached is a copy of the inspection report, listing and email from Sunny stating "NO PAINT WORK" I sent the report to both Sunny and Jeremy Lustman so they legally should have to disclose this information to any prospective buyer of the car. They were going to certify it for me even though it was unsafe (gashes in the tire). These guys are crooks!
The proof is attached! Just read the inspection report! This car is a POS! I am contacting the BBB, the Attorney Generals Office and I may also contact the Chantilly police dept. to report fraud. I also contacted Jaguar USA and they weren't pleased to hear this about one of their dealerships.
