RE the George Evans 1983 Lamborghini Jalpa vin *12038*



i am very disappointed. someone please tell me how i am in the wrong with cash in hand and airline tickets at the ready, only to be told that i not only cannot have a PPI done offsite on this car, but that no one can drive it for " insurance reasons ". NOBODY BUYS THESE CARS SIGHT UNSEEN WITH NO PPI.

NOBODY.
i refuse to believe that i am bieng unreasonable requesting a basic inspection at my expense and a 15 to 20 minute test drive with a employee of the shop.

who the heck would purchase a 23 year old Jalpa that has NO TOOLS, OR SERVICE HISTORY , and is missing stuff, like the cover over the alternator keeping stuff off the wide belt and pulleys. the spare and hold down straps are missing. no record of a valve adjustment having ever been done.

my request:

my name is Michael M(edited), i have spoken with George Evans a few times on
the
phone. i was
told that he would be able to send off some pics to me of the car. i would
also
like a
brief description of what the comes with the car , and what the car needs
overall. i am
exempt from emissions, ect and am looking for a good driver quality
Lamborghini , not a
show car. i will have to pay a state tax penalty of 6% since the car is
registered to the
dealership and not an individual. i assume the car to have a clean, clear
title?

> i have cash, and i am prepared to fly out at my expense to see the car. i
will require a
PPI to be done at another facility close by. please advise.

hi, if you want to come and look at it, fine, i will supply you with a lift and tools to inspect it as long as you need.
me or tim can take you a ride. i can let you drive it on the lot.
our insurance will not alow test drives of exotics on the road, period.
if you are really a player for this car then you should have allready done your homework on the car.
we have been here 30 + years, we have a very good reputation, we do not "hide things",
i am suprised you would even say that about me.
looks like we are going to list it on ebay this coming weekend as we are still very busy.

i am sorry to rant. but no matter how good your reputation is, not expect someone to just fly in and " look at the car on a lift yourself" with no PPI, no comprssion test and no test drive is riduluous.
