Ducati Miami Broken Promises Miami Florida
A verbal agreement between two dealers and Ducati Miami broke that agreement!
I was told by Hector Falero that he would purchase our 2014 Ducati Multistrada that we took in on trade for a customer as per the agreement with Ducati Miami.
We would not have taken this bike in on trade with our customer as we do not have the finances to pay it off but Hector told me he would give us $11,800.00 for the bike so we did it. Now he states he cannot buy it!!! This has put our finances in dire stress. I have called but he states there not willing to do anything and he states it's out of his hands!
I have called and left messages and sent emails but no response. This is Bad Business!!! The GM or business administrator "David Seguias" will not even respond to my email which was sent to him along with leaving messages with the service manager Jorge. The email I sent is below!
"My name is Dean Slone, I am with Motorcycle Enthusiasts Inc. in Spring Hill, FL. We worked a deal for one our new KTM bikes and took in trade a 2014 Ducati Multistrada Gran Turismo based on the verbal agreement with Hector Falero that we had arranged.
Prior to us taking this bike in on trade I spoke to Hector to see if you guys would take the bike off of our hands as this kind of bike is not a hot seller in this area and HE advised me that HE would do so and we agreed on a price of $11,800.00 as the bike was going to need the left hand guard replaced. Based on the agreement with Mr. Falero, we took the bike in on trade and finalized the deal.
I called Mr. Falero to let him know that we would be bringing the bike down on Friday (which is now today) and HE advised that we are good to go and to call his wholesale guy "Miguel" and that we could drop the bike off with him in Hollywood, FL and Miguel would cut us a check for the bike.
When I spoke to Miguel, he told me that he would not be buying the bike and that there was confusion between him and Mr. Falero... So come to find out now that Mr. Falero says there is nothing HE can do and that HE is not willing to take this bike now per our conversation yesterday!!
Now, I was referred to your dealership due to you guys being a top dealer for Ducati and being a reputable company, this is not what I expected to end up with! I am not going to lose my mind just yet as this is probably the first time you are hearing about this so I will await your reply or preferably your phone call to resolve this matter.
I will say, this needs to be resolved immediately as I have a Ducati in my showroom that shouldn't be! Please contact me right away, Thank you"
This has left our company in financial stress and something needs to be done about it, you do not make deals with people and then back out! I will make sure that every customer I now and meet in the future NEVER goes to this terrible place!
I am also putting in complaints with Ducati North America and any other outlet imaginable. If they are willing to do this to another Dealer then I am afraid of what they would do to a customer!

Did you get this agreement IN WRITING? if not then YOU KNOW that YOU do not have a legal leg to stand on. If there was NO CONTRACT or PAPERTRAIL then its ALL on YOU! YOU want THEM to bail you out of a situation. YOU KNOW that until paperwork is SIGNED there is NOTHING to be done. YOU can contact whomever you like. Its YOUR WORD against THEIR WORD! And guess who they are going to believe? Thats RIGHT! The employee who isnt trying to accept THEIR role. Obviously YOU are in a vehicle purchase job. YOU KNOW that a VERBAL agreement means NOTHING! A VERBAL agreement is ONLY as good as the person making it. It just means that the person you supposedly made a VERBAL deal with cant be trusted to keep their word. YOU however are now stuck with a 12k bike. yes it SUCKS! But it is NOT a ripoff in ANY WAY. Just a loss of trust with a local business.
Try using social media to sell it. Im pretty sure a bike like that can get you 14-16k.
