In July of 2022 I purchased, sight unseen, a 1967 Ford Mustang. A dream car I had been chasing for nearly 40 years. Unfortunately the entire experience was horrible and completely lacking in professional business dealing and customer service. After seeing the Mustang listed on one of the classic car sites I was searching, I reached out and initially spoke with David, the owner of Sierra Classics. The car was listed at $36,000/obo. This was more than I was looking to spend but for a car that was in great mechanical and body shape, I was willing to spend the money up front instead of sinking it into repairs. David told me of a few things that were wrong with the vehicle. 1. The shift linkage was bad 2. There was a small dent in the hood 3. The AC needed to be recharged 4. The car did not have power steering Then David and I discussed price. I offered $30,000 which was flatly refused. We then haggled a bit. The only thing David would offer was to throw in transportation of the vehicle from Reno to my home in Phoenix. Why offer OBO if you aren't even willing to accept a lower offer? In the end I did verbally agree to that after David explained to me that Hot August Nights was coming up and he'd be able to sell the Mustang there at auction for even more than his asking price. So he turned up the pressure a bit to get me to agree. My fault, I should not have agreed to those terms. David's grandson Jay contacted me, and one thing that we did not discuss in my initial conversation with David that concerned me was the taxes. The deal did not include taxes, which I would have to pay in Arizona. This effectively added $2,000 to my cost. So I asked Jay to knock that 2 grand off. Eventually I ended up talking with David again. He tried to guilt me, pressure me, again brought up the August car event, and in the end I walked away from the deal. Two days later, Jay called me to ask if we could negotiate something to make this happen. In the end, they accepted $35,000, which Jay told me David was not happy about, and I eventually bought the vehicle. The shipping was not done to my instructions and the vehicle was delivered when I was out of state. I was very clear with Jay about that but those instructions were not relayed to the shipper. I was supposed to have confirmation before it was picked up. That never happened. When the vehicle was delivered, it barely ran. I have a video taken by my friend that received the vehicle for me of it stalling about 4 times as the driver tried to move it off the truck and into my garage. The vehicle was in dire need of a tune up. Which I did myself. A simple thing that should have been done before the vehicle was sold. Also the door locks didn't work. I called Jay about this. He was supposed to send me a door lock kit or credit me the cost of one, but he never did. I replaced the locks myself. I am now over $5000 in repairs and there is still more to go. For the moment the vehicle is mechanically sound and runs fairly well. I had it inspected by a local shop that specializes in classic Mustangs. The car was sold to me with 12 year old, cracking tires. The Master Cylinder was bone dry and leaked when refilled. It is a miracle I had any braking capability at all. The shift linkage did have to be rebuilt, AC recharged because there was a hose leak, wheel bearings were shot, radiator was bad (the fluid was filled with rust), the vehicle was overheating, the thermostat was bad and had to be replaced, the electric choke wire was running over the fuel rods and had clearly melted the wire covering, the sway bars were disconnected, the belts squealed, the floor will need sections replaced, one of the tailpipes had broken the solder joint, the horn had been rewired to a small button that had been mounted under the steering column (this is an easy fix in this model Mustang and requires the replacement of a spring in the horn assembly), the fuel sending unit failed due to a previously bad repair, the list goes on... Worst vehicle purchase of my life.
