Steve Sepic, Euro Classics, Vaughn MotorGroup Turned Back Miles, Rusty Cars, Fraudulent Transactions Jacksonville FL
I bought a Mercedes 300SD from Steve Sepic. It had issues and Steve would not return any of my calls or emails. I reached out to the original seller who Steve Sepic purchased the vehicle from. They responded to me. We spoke and what I found out was that Steve had turned the miles back on the car before he sold it to me. It all then made sense why the car had so many issues.
I posted an article about Steve Sepic on a blog site and many people had left their remarks about the horrible experiences they also had with Steve Sepic. There were two others who stated they had found out that the cars they bought had miles turned back. Many spoke of him misrepresenting cars, selling them off of Ebay where he had them advertised so no one could complain about the rust that was hidden with paint underneath the cars.
There were two instances where people gave Steve a car and a motorcycle to sell. They left him the titles and Steve sold the vehicles, kept the money and never paid them a penny. Unfortunately the local police told one of them because there was no paper trail in place, there was nothing that could be done. The other was told it was a civil case and an attorney quoted him 10k to retain him. The stolen car was only 12k. One of the poor guys said he was 79 years old he just couldn’t take it on with his weak heart.
Where is gets out of the norm is that two different women left notes on the site stating that Steve had totally lied to them about owning businesses and having a military account with money in it. That account never existed, it was all lies. They said there is not a word that came out of his mouth that was not a lie. One of them said there was a movie on Netflix called “Dirty John” which they said he in real life is that person. He is a professional con-man. I am so sorry for these women.
I decided to do my own research and found some very interesting things in public records. To start, Steve Sepic has a criminal record/Misdemeanor for not having a license to massage. It was something regarding operating an unethical massage practice. He also has had many driving violations and suspended licenses for years at a time. How does someone in the car business have so many suspended license charges and tickets?
In the recent courts (Duval County) it appears that there is a pending Grand Theft case against him from a dealership that he told everyone he owned. I looked up corporate records and he is nowhere to be found on any of the corporate documents for that company. I contacted the owner and he did not want to give me any details until the case was completed.
He did say that Steve knows his cars, but said he stole regularly from the business. He said he can only tell me that anyone dealing with Steve Sepic needs to be very careful. He is a gambler and compulsive liar who believes his own lies. There were tens of thousands of dollars missing or somehow taken, personal loans taken out from the business that were never repaid and $30,000 paid to Steve to pay his father for work; but Steve never paid him. I was getting the big picture of who this guy was.
It appears that Steve is currently working for Vaughan Motor Group in Jacksonville, Florida. From me and everyone who put up a note on the auto blog, we all just want it known that Steve Sepic is not someone you want to purchase a car from or do any type of business with.

i am steve sepic and I am asking you to remove me from the site or i will get Legal council. Jonathan horn was a ex business partner who tried to sue me and lost. the case was closed and disposed in feb 2020. he is the one bashing me on here and now mentioning my current employer for 2.5 years which has nothing to do with anything. this is slander. He mentions i sold a guy a car and he called the previous owner to contact him about the miles. really the owner died and i bougth it from an estate.
all these Accusations are false and a retaliation of who he lost in court. I am asking you to please remove my name and block this site from it. i will not have my reputation or name bashed. I have been in the car business for 30 years and never had any issues with any company. he is pissed because i walked away and now using phony names of people leaving feedback.
