The total repairs are close to $10,000.00. frauds like Travis the owner and Redline European need to be exposed. Two weeks lapsed and my messages went unreturned. He said he would see what he could do to help with some of the repairs.

He proceeded to pretend like he would be willing to take the car back. Then he started saying things like I got a great deal, which is BS. Almost two weeks lapsed and it wasn’t until I threatened legal action he got back me. I got multiple text messages I am really busy but I will get back to you.

All in all the repairs costs are in the tens of thousands.Īvoid this place at all costs. So my new car slept in a target parking lot with a blanket over the interior. What that means is my new Lamborghini was delivered to me non running unable to have a roof.

And to add to the fun Travis and his friend the mechanic hid the fact the car was missing roof pieces. Namely a failing alternator which looking back was obviously being hidden because guess what, upon taking delivery of my car at 11pm in a suspect neighborhood the car wouldnt start. I settled on someone named Mack who as it turns out, was long time friends with Travis and proceeded to work with him to ensure I get screwed over on every potential problem with the car. Im not from the area so I asked Travis for a few names. I then hired a 3rd party, I thought unbiased local mechanic to perform a pre purchase inspection. But thats only the beginning! After some negotiating we agreed on a price for the vehicle. After I purchased the car and was forced to bring it directly to Lamborghini for repairs which Ill get to later, it in fact has to be change in the very near future and its worn. Travis told me yeah bro, its got 75% life left, plenty of life. Anyone who knows about this car is aware that its an expensive replacement, like around 15K expensive. We can start with my initial phone call with Travis were he directly lied to me about the condition of the clutch on my Lamborghini Murcielago.

Im not even sure the good people at BBB will allot me enough room for this review. I purchased a Lamborghini from this business and was mislead, flat out lied to and strung along and even put in a dangerous situation because of Traviss appalling handling or lack there of. I had without question the worst, not car buying but purchase experience I have ever had here and nothing else comes close.
