Default My Porsche is being held hostage!

Still waiting to see my C4s. its been in town for 3 days but this independent driver won't cough it up until he see's money in his account from the broker(All 48 states auto transport out of Hollywood ,Fl.)All 48 says money was sent- driver says its not showing up. I called the cops today and reported it stolen. A detective called me back and took all info I had so curious to see If he can speed up the process. Don't know the exact location of my car but if Idid I go over there and...probably get my butt kicked and feel worse.

It's more than likely being held up by the banks because its a large amount of money.
They want to verify funds before isting the deposit. I'm sure it will all work out alright.

Obviously Iv'e had some harsh words for almost everyone involved but at the end of the day you have to put it in perspective. There are people out there with bigger problems than waiting for their Porsche. Just hope the odometer reading jives.

Keep your mind busy to ease the agony. Play golf!

During my recent purchase, the prev owner wanted to wait till my certified check clears - upto 10 days. Instead, I wired the funds directly into her account and she released the car immediately.

The ebay scams and others ruin it for everyone else.

Hostage scenarios dictate a certain response.

I would be careful how, "Reported it Stolen" will turn out.... It gives me visions of DMV, Insurance and other legal troubles when you finally take ownership...?
