So the ad said on craigslist

 Full Size 125cc Quads - $750 (323) 588-6634

So I called them up spoke to "John" Im assuming not his real name but his American name he goes by.

125cc and full size....

in body of ad

---

Brand New 125cc Utility ATV Quad for only $750.



Come see them for yourself in our showroom. These aren't the small little quads. These are pretty much full size and perfect for teenagers and available in various colors.

They are Fully Automatic and have a Reverse gear as well. In addition, they come with a built in speed governor and a remote kill switch. The speed governor will control the speed down to 5-10 MPH while the remote kill switch will allow you to shut off the ATV if your child is going too far or too fast!

Call JOHN @ (323) 588-6634 for more info.

I talked to him for 30 mins, very nice on phone, told him I am 3 hrs drive away and to put 2 aside for me... I rented a truck and drove there to get em as pictures are nice... I have 4 kids at home and wife we wanted 2 to go have fun on etc. I get there and I cant even get my foot on the footrest, I wear a size 9 1/2 mens and my feet would not fit on the peg foot shelf area, there are mini quads not nearly full size or full size even though the ad in bold says full size.

these units were of poor manufacture as the "technician" asseblying mine had to use a happer to make parts fit and they just barely fit, fit and finish as welll as plastic quality was very low.

They should have a average person in the pics so people can determie size... and be honest in thier description.

WARNING stay away, "John" became verbally abusive when I told him that we did not want them and felt mislead. This is not how Americans want to do business. Im not racist and have many friends of all ethnicities, but this was weird right out of a bad tv commerical.

 I wasted lots of money going there on the rental and thee gas only to be lied to and have the product misrepresented then I was verbally abused as we left.

Its plain as day, look at the ad title in CRAIGSLIST go google hsis phone number.

Full Size 125cc Quads - $750 (323)

 

I live a significant distance over 5 hrs roundtrip.

I had lots of questions, he assured me we would be happy.

As for staying overtime or late, not at all, he closes at 5pm and said I had to be there by 4pm as he would not prep addl units unless we were actually there. we got there about 430 due to work and LA traffic. NO ONE WAS ON OVERTIME STORE WAS OPEN FOR BUSINESS AS NORMAL.

As for A deposit, I offered a deposit repeatedly over the phone to hold them and get them ready for me, perhaps he did not want to take a deposit because he did not want any chargebacks from the credit card company for misrepresentation.

As for my size? im 5' 9" at 179 lbs and wear a 9.5 shoe, I could not get my foot on the pegrest area without turning them 45 degrees off the platform as it is DESIGNED for kids, even my 17 yr old couldnt put his feet on them.

please go google on creaigslis his phone number and if your local please go there and see what it is he is selling, crap from china, poorly assembled and manufactured, look at the fit and finish of the plastic, his technician was using a mallet to hammer to make pieces fit.

I posted this to warn others about his misleading tactics

Look at the ad title... and his previous ad go google his phone number in LA craigslist. you weill see FULL SIZE in the title of the ad. (323) 588-6634

Misunderstanding?

The intent of this rebuttal is to solely clarify and address some remarks that George brought up.  

George found our ad during the Christmas season and contacted me regarding the quads for his kids.  He called numerous times, and I was courteous and tried to address any questions he had had and to describe the quads as best as possible.  George knew that he wanted the quads and was adamant that he wanted these quads and repeatedly insisted to pay for them over the phone without having seen them in person.  I offered to save 2 quads for his kids, with no deposit, and we arranged for a time that he would be coming by.  Considering that he was coming from a far distance, he let us know that he would be arriving after our business hours.  I offered to wait for his arrival and kept the staff on overtime until he arrived along with the 2 quads he had requested.  

When he arrived, I showed him and his family into the showroom and invited his kids to sit on the quads.  The 2 boys were smiling from ear to ear and even his wife was happy and smiling after seeing the quads.  George on the other hand seemed pensive.  He sat on the quads and fit well on them for his size.  I asked him which colors he wanted for his kids, at which point he divulged that the quads would also be for him and his 4 children.

As the ad clearly states, the quads are not quiet full size and are recommended for teenagers.  At $750, these quads have a surprising seat height of nearly 30".  Unfortunately, we do not carry adult quads at the $750 range, although these quads are rather big, with 8" tires.

In any case, George said that he would have to talk it over with his family who was still confused as to why they weren't taking the quads home.  A few minutes later, George came back and was very irate.  I tried to calm him down and said that at least he hadn't already paid for the quads before he came.

I can only attribute this unfortunate event to a misunderstanding, as we are not in the business of staying open after hours just to have a customer drive a long distance and not find what they are looking for.

Farhan Enterprises does not rip anyone off.  In fact, we value our reputation and resent these accusations.  We look forward to making people, especially kids, happy during the Christmas season.
