I purchased a 2004 Mercedes E55 AMG on August 29th, 2015 from (K&K Inc Aka Kevin Sharp) on Ebay motors. After confirming the condition and all the important details of this vehiclee with Mr. Sharp, I payed a deposit of $500 with Paypal. I then asked Kevin to confirm the following critical details of the vehicle.
1. Does the car have a clean title and is the title in your name? Answer: Yes
2. Are there any undisclosed accidents or frame damage? Answer: No
3. Is there any reconditioning that needs to be done of any kind? Answer: No
4. Are the tires in good condition? Answer: Yes
None of these statements were true after we flew 1700 miles to buy the car!
I saw Kevin had 96 positive reviews on EBay and after speaking to him on the phone was comfortable with doing the deal.
I had no choice to pay for the transaction with a credit card but also new there was some protection this way. My son Jami flew to meet Kevin in Oklahoma City approxmately 200 miles from where he lives in Tulsa to deliver the car. As soon as he drove up my son Jami noticed the car was smoking badly. Apparently Kevin got the oil changed in Tulsa and they put 1.5 quarts too much oil in this 469 H.P. car. Again, we have already paid this man. My son drove the car and noticed that it shook in the front end and the window tint was shot. Kevin described this car as "Outstanding Inside and out"
Such a deceptive liar.
We decided that the best course of action now that he has our money is to hold on to the car until we can resolve our issues with the bank and Kevin. After my son drove the car home and it was parked for 2 days the hydraulic air suspension system failed and we had to take the car to a local Mercedes Repair shop. After a complete instpecion noticed the car had run into something hard and cracked the two front rims.
The combination of all these issues is a $3,000- $4,000 repair bill!
The message here is to avoid Kevin Sharp like the Plague.
He will lie, cheat and steal your money and then vanish.
