Anyone in Houston TX that can make a "visit"?
Bought a 2009 911 from Expo Motorcars in Houston a month and 1/2 ago for a customer. Car showed up damaged with 1 key, no books & a bent wheel! Grrrrr.
Apparently this huge lot is a 2 man show. Initially they agreed to provide the books, keys & a check but now I am getting the run around. I'm starting to feel bad for the phone girl, I've called no less that 30 times. Any who, I feel a presence in their office would do wonder. Considering they owe me the equivalent of $1000 I would be happy to pay someone to stop by the dealership. Nothing violent or dramatic but just show up and ask for the goods. |

Yeah, Expo. They always have such attractive looking photographs on Ebay. Was considering buying from them a couple of years ago so I went and did my homework on them......

That said, if you, James and maybe another Pelican stopped by the store, I bet that it would get their attention. Would need to have a "power of atty" from Terry to accept anything from them.

Tom is closer, but if he wants backup, I'll go with him.
