MGM would rather lose 2k on a car that has been sitting

MGM would rather lose 2k on a car that has been sitting on their lot for 6months. Than to come off the down payment by taking $500 off a $3000 downpayment. To the salesman, nothing but a ##s game. I was told he could get this particular car anytime I wanted. I will be upsidedown on my trade in. I knew that BEFORE I contacted them in the first place. I was offered to send my Corvette to them on consignment. In which website clearly states, dealer owns all inventory. No-Consignments. This dealer took care of me on my purchase last year. I felt like a "Valued Customer!" I do NOT understand what has changed in over a years time. Same salesman was too busy to actually work out a deal with me. I pulled my good reviews from last year. As I will not allow xxxx poor customer service to be rewarded by a great review last year. You may either message me. Or Email me as I'm Disabled and hard of hearing.

***Buyers Beware *** MGM is a bunch of crooks.

***Buyers Beware *** MGM is a bunch of crooks...especially Tom Denic! Please learn through my mistake!! I purchased a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am (site unseen). I have done this a few times before and thought I was working with a professional classic car dealer, WRONG! MGM intentionally and deceptively failed to disclose serious material issues with the vehcile. Sales representative, Tom Denic assured me that the vehicle was in “immaculate” condition through my phone call with him at the time of purchase and the only major issue being a passenger headlight motor that was going out and only worked 50% of the time. In addition. The posting indicated the vehicle was “well maintained” and the buyer would be “proud to own this one.” Based on these representations, and my understanding of what I thought was “show room” condition; I proceeded with the purchase ($25K after talking them down from $29,994) and an additional shipment fee ($1,295) to receive in Texas. The features included made a reasonable buyer believe everything was working with the exception of the headlight motor. Upon delivery and inspection of the vehicle, I discovered numerous issues that were not disclosed and materially affect the condition, safety, and value of the vehicle: -Passenger side window motor is completely nonfunctional. -Driver side window motor is failing. -Interior window plate is missing, compromising window integrity. -Driver side window is falling out of track. -Driver side door panel is falling off. -Gapping between driver window and T-Tops, which will cause water intrusion. -Interior fuse box panel cover is missing. -Both interior T-Top roof covers are missing. -Trunk Release/hatchback will not remain open due to defective supports. -Keyless Entry does not work. -Anti-Theft System Alarm does not work. -Stereo Wheel Mounted Controls -The integrity of the rear end is compromised with faulty springs and shocks. These defects are inconsistent with the representations made to me prior to purchase. In a series of text messages between Mr. Denic and myself, it was ultimately agreed that the vehicle would be inspected by an auto shop and that I would obtain an estimate to bring the vehicle to a reasonably safe condition, as agreed upon at the time of purchase. A few days later the inspection was shared with Mr. Denic. Their inspection also determined that the integrity of the rear end was a serious issue that needed to be addressed. Let it also be known that other vehicle postings include pictures of doors, windows down, trunks open, etc.; therefore, proving many of these material issues were known by MGM Classic Cars and purposely withheld. As of this correspondence, Mr. Denic has not responded to me as he went silent once the inspection report was shared. What trash... Since, I have learned they have been sued several times and there are open litigation cases against them now, some far worse than what I experieced.

I put a refundable deposit down on Aug.

I put a refundable deposit down on Aug. 1st on a car that I ended up not buying, and now I've been going back and forth trying to get it back and still nothing, a month and a half later.. been texting and calling Jimmy and Tom with very little responses, if any at all. I put up a review before about this issue and was threatened with "it would probably help your situation" if I was to take that review down, so in good faith I did, which, surprisingly, did not help my situation at all as I still do not have my money back.. all I get is excuse after excuse. These guys are shady liars and thieves, do NOT do business with them unless you like being stolen from. I have all texts telling me it's refundable and how they ignore me and the excuses, they have my email and can easily PayPal my money back to me in a day if they really were a good honest company, but still nothing.. I've seen other reviews that share similar situations, should've read them first before even going in. All I want is my thousand dollars back, it's been way long enough now, 6 weeks is ridiculous to hold onto someone's money, that is nothing but theft. They must really need it more than me, stay far away from this place...

I recently purchased a 2011 Roush stage 2 mustang.

I recently purchased a 2011 Roush stage 2 mustang. Biggest mistake of my car purchasing life. One week, two drives and the car is over heating. Radiator no fluid, rotten and rusty out. Tint not legal. No tail pipes. Terrible and wrong tires. Headlights are wired wrong no high beam. Two quarts of oil in the engine plus there are metal shavings in the oil.(think I’m gonna need a new engine). Just to pass an inspection the bill is now at 7k dollars. The owner won’t return calls. Please be aware I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to make the purchase I did.

BUYER BEWARE!

BUYER BEWARE! I recently had my classic car serviced at MGM. Ive visited their shop in the past and so the vast amount of classic cars they service and maintain. Hence, i brought mine there to be looked at. My main issue was an exhaust leak but it also had some other issues. The problems started from the beginning. Absolutely zero communication. I had to keep calling and texting to check in. Only seldomly receving responses. With constant requests, they were able to give me a run down of some of the issues and that it would be a couple weeks to get the job done. I understand its peak season but this extended to two months. With no further explanations or communications since the initial assessment, after a couple months i basically gave an ultimatum i need to car back. They apparently did some work on it but NOBODY there could tell me what was done. The price was almost triple what the estimate was. My main issue was an exhaust leak. Eventually, I paid the full amount to get the car back. I realized nothing had changed with the exhaust fumes and in fact the motor was making some new noises. I had this looked at and was explained how the fuel intake was not properly serviced. Aside from that, it ran ok. I still continued to ask for a service reports for several weeks after picking it up and would constantly get excuses from Tom. I think hes an owner. The shop number is forwarded to him directly. To this day, i havent recieved any explanation or any paperwork regarding the "work" that was done on the car. Ive been extremely patient and cordial for these past few months as i awaited a response from them. I'm quite surprised that this is how they run their business, which is why i wanted to write this review. For anyone considering to get any work done or just buying a classic car from them. This is a SHADY business with no regard for consumers. I highly recommend NOT buying from this place but to each their own. Buyer beware!!

DO NOT TRUST MGM CLASSIC CARS IN ADDISON, IL I recently

DO NOT TRUST MGM CLASSIC CARS IN ADDISON, IL I recently purchased a 1988 Chevy G20 van from MGM Classic Cars for $13,500. Said to be one owner from NC that they bought and added to their showroom. During phone calls and text exchanges, they seemed professional and customer-oriented. Unfortunately, once the van arrived in Texas, the truth became clear. They completely failed to disclose serious mechanical and structural issues: Major rear main seal leak Leaking valve covers Dead A/C system, with a compressor in a box—outdated and never installed Severe rust along the windshield frame and doors Failed instrument panel, gear shifter indicator also gone Driver side vent window fell out the first time it was opened Side mirror detached during transport Dry-rotted tires Worn-out suspension They expertly dodged specific questions over the phone and used strategically chosen photos online to hide the vehicle's true condition. I have not been able to drive or enjoy the van since it arrived—it won’t even pass Texas inspection. I'm already $20,000+ into this mistake, and the costs are still climbing. This was a classic bait-and-switch, and I’m exploring mediation and possible legal action. Bottom line: Do not buy from MGM Classic Cars based on their word or pictures. Visit in person, bring a qualified mechanic, and inspect every detail before handing over a dime. I truly feel cheated.
