I just had a horrible experience with Ryan Kennedy who owns Kennedy Motorsports. Last Saturday I agreed to pay full price and made a deposit on a 1992 911 they had on consignment. It was advertised here last Friday in the classifieds as "good as new, none nicer". I was also told by Mr. Kennedy , a self proclaimed expert in re P cars, that the car was "perfect with all original paint" and the price was fixed.. As it turned out, car was not so perfect. I learned this mid Monday morning when Mr. Kennedy called and told me that he had just discovered rust in the cowl of the car (as well as a repainted hood). Nevertheless, I told Mr. Kennedy I still really wanted the car. He assured me he would give me first chance to buy it once the rust was repaired. He also assured me he would work with the owner to adjust price to let me do the rust repair. On Tuesday morning I woke up to an email from Mr. Kennedy simply stating that car was sold. To say the least, I was stunned! I just don't know for sure what happened although, upon reflection, i have a suspicion. At 7 o'clock Monday morning i awakened with a call from Mr. Kennedy telling me he had received extraordinary interest in the car over the weekend and wanted to make sure i wanted to proceed. I think i disappointed him when I said did. Then, a few hours later, I received the aforementioned call from Mr. Kennedy disclosing the newly discovered rust. My suspicion is the existence of this rust was made up as a way to effectively nullify our agreement so the car could be sold for more. That's just a suspicion. In any event, I am still trying to recover my deposit, Mr. Kennedy assures me its coming but i have reason NOT to believe him.

Sorry but really not the place to air dirty laundry......If you have a legitimate complaint sue him other wise character assisination on a public forum is bad form if not slander.....and that might cost you more than you ever imagined.

Its garden variety dirty laundry with no place on a 928 tech forum.

Dude, let the dust settle, and even then, I really don't need to hear your side of a imperfect deal that I don't really care about regardless of who is at fault or said what.

Wrong place.

Very wrong this is a 928 forum. He was trying to buy a 911. 928s don't go rusty under the hood.
