South Florida Attorney Needed
Damnest thing happened. I bought an eBay car online from a Ft. Lauderdale dealer, wired him the money, and made arrangements for the car to be shipped. I paid the shipper a deposit. Then he brokered the job to a third-party carrier (who speaks only Spanish).
The driver went to the wrong address, tried to call, but we couldn't communicate...so he took the car back to Miami. Now he wants $1,000 to release the car because he says he was inconvenienced. He's getting a mechanic's lien and is charging me daily storage. Feels like extortion to me.
I paid for the car, but it never arrived. A nightmare scenario. Any help from Rennlisters would be greatly appreciated.

I'd sure want geologs on that call from the "wrong address." This sounds shady as all get out.
But before I started paying for a lawyer I'd have a calm but stern conversation with the original shipper.

OP: "I will pay the $1000, cause it's worth it for me to just get the car... but can I pay you in cash so my wife doesn't find out about the mistake I made? I am really sorry about this..."
Badguy: "Cash? Uhhh... ya cash okay."
OP: "Tell me where I should meet you, and I will bring the cash. I assume that I can get the car at the same time right?"
Badguy: "Ya... ya... bring the cash. You get car, no problems..."
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire Veloce Raptor.
{que theme song...}
Veloce Raptor smokes and squeals into dropoff scene in a blacked out, bullet proof, C7 Vette. Just rolls down the window and says: "There is no cash today sunshine. Give him the car and let him go. Don't make me get out... I will wait."
Badguy realizes he is pinched and up against the toughest, most bad ***, Vette driver in North America. OP drives away happy to have his car and keep his cash...
...and scene!
