As much as it SUCKS Id take what happened with a grain of salt and say lesson learned, sell the car for what it really is and write the rest off as a loss.. Legal fees will be way more than the price difference IMO unless you can go after everything including lawyer fee's.

Will someone please help me understand why this man has to take a loss on a car that an auction house mis-represented? In the ad, Russo & Steele does not have a disclaimer stating that this is how the car was represented to them and that a buyer should research the vehicle as to it's authenticity. Since I have never bought a vehicle at auction, I have no idea about auction contract(s). When do they make you sign a contract, before you bid or after the bidding ends?

I DONT think he should have to take a loss but understanding how the law works and the prices of lawyers.. Its WAY to costly, you'd spend more with a lawyer than you would lose if you sold the car and took a loss (unless of course your a lawyer and can rep yourself). Sure its not right but thats the way our messed up country works.

As for Russo they dont write the ads on the cars, thats the owners that do that and they sign a form stating that what they wrote is true and if there is a problem its worked out between the buyer and seller..like King said the auction is just a venue bringing buyers and sellers together.

and yes you sign a form after you win the bid, and you sign another contract before you get your bid number stating all the facts.

From what I gather real muscle is mad that he is still having to pay the commissions on the purchase which Im sure by contract he has to... Thats where customer satisfaction comes into play I for one would want to make my customer HAPPY but not all businesses think that way.
