If you have an eBay account, you can use the "Ask seller a question" feature on eBay. I think it's up to the seller whether or not to show the answers within the listing, though...

I just sent a note thru eBay saying that I had reason to believe this car was involved in an accident that damaged the suspension and wheels quite significantly and to please let me know if they thought I had the wrong car.

We'll see what kind of a response I get.

If Lamborghini of Houston is stating that the car has had no prior damage, they need to do two things:

1) Look at the the invoice in my possession from Thoroughbred Motorcars (the local Porsche dealership here in Nashville) that states the damage that this particular car sustained prior to me buying it (and which went undisclosed by Premier Sportscars). It specifically states that the left rear wheel had been replaced and repainted and that the three other wheels were bent. It also states that the left rear control arm, hub, drive axle, and both upper links were replaced.

2) They need to call the original owner in Wisconsin, like I did, and he'd tell them of the damage and how it occured.

Of course, no dealer is going to go out of their way to find out something negative about a car they're selling, so I very much doubt they (or any other dealer) will be contacting me or the original owner anytime soon about this car.

If you do a search on Premier, you will find an EXTENSIVE history of misleading sales. The owner is also an Anti-Semite.

I think you will need to provide solid proof of the accident damage. If you've got a repair bill with the s/n then provide it to them. I'm sure they won't go out of their way to find "bad news".

ps Their prices seem pretty high. I wonder who buys their used cars?

I wrote them as stated above. What follows is my original e-mail to them and their response.

I have reason to believe this car has been in a significant accident in
which all 4 wheels were damaged and more importantly the rear suspension
was destroyed and replaced. Do you have any proof that I am
incorrect?

Please let me know.

And the response:

We put it up on a lift in our service department and don't see any signs of
previous damage. Could you be referring to a different car? You're welcome
to have anyone inspect it on your behalf.

Best Regards

FWIW.
