WARNING. GIANCARLO MOTTA and IVAN MOTTA AKA AUTO SOURCE GROUP are CON ARTISTS…read more I purchased a 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo X50 from Giancarlo Motta at Auto Source Group on July 7th 2020. I live in California and worked with Giancarlo via telephone and internet to complete the purchase. Giancarlo was initially very friendly and assured me the car was in perfect condition. We agreed on a price, and agreed that the car would be inspected by Parkhaus1 Porsche in Miami (an independent dealer) prior to shipment to California. In our contract we also agreed that any issues discovered during the inspection would be paid for and repaired by Auto Source Group. "It is Seller's duty to ensure that the Acquired Vehicle is delivered in the same condition as when last inspected by the Buyer plus the completed Acquired Vehicle Repairs." When the car went to Parkhaus1 Porsche for inspection. The technicians immediately identified loud rattling noises coming from the transmission. It was abnormal and very obvious. As a next step, they would need to remove the transmission to diagnose the problem. Now unable to send a car that failed inspection, Giancarlo agreed to have Parkhaus1 Porsche remove the transmission to identify the problem. When the transmission was removed, it was found that the issue was inside and likely serious. The transmission would have to be taken apart, diagnosed and repaired. When the transmission was opened, it was found to have damage throughout. Multiple bearings, plus first, second and third gear all needed to be replaced. Here's a complete list of the damaged parts. They also provided photos of the damage. 1 PINION BRG (4POINT) 370.00 1 PINION BRG (ROLLER) 585.00 1 PINION BRG (CASE) 565.00 1 PINION BRG (REAR) 410.00 1 INPUT SHAFT BRG (4POINT) 425.00 1 INPUT BRG (ROLLER) 410.00 1 INPUT BRG (CASE) 410.00 2 DIFF SIDE BRGS 240.00 2 SYNCROS 1ST & 2ND 190.00 1 SYNCRO 3RD 190.00 1 Labor 1850.00 With the damage now documented, Giancarlo immediately backtracked on our agreement, stating that he wanted to cancel the sale. he wanted Parkhaus1 Porsche to put the car back together un-repaired so he could sell it to someone else, presumably without telling them about the transmission issues. I had already paid for the car, and I have a contract stating that Auto Source Group will make any needed repairs. Furthermore, I don't like the idea that Auto Source Group wants to sell a damaged vehicle to another unsuspecting buyer. Parkhaus1 Porsche was also shocked that Auto Source Group would try to do this. It is completely unethical. Per our agreement, I have asked Giancarlo to complete the repairs and deliver the car. Giancarlo refuses, and after three months, has still not followed through on our contract. He has my entire payment for the Porsche of $50,000. Auto Source Group is dumping good looking, but damaged cars on unsuspecting buyers. They are selling the cars As-Is No Warrantee, hoping that customers don't do a proper inspection. With nearly three months gone by, the car is still sitting in Miami with transmission out. Auto Source Group is holding $50,000 of my money and refuses to make the repairs. I have made multiple attempts to resolve the issue with them and they ignore me. My attorney is now filing suit for damages with Florida Attorney General. WARNING. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE CON ARTISTS.

Very standup honest dealer. Look forward to continued business. A +++read more
