I spent two weeks speaking with the people at Dean Team negotiating a deal on a Lamborghini. They represented the car as "clean", "perfect", etc. We negotiated and agreed on a value for a Porsche I was trading and they went as far as sending a sales order with the numbers, but it was curiously unsigned. Based on their representation I gave them my credit card information for a deposit.

During the process of trying to schedule a PPI for the car I was purchasing, I was told by the local St. Louis Lamborghini dealer service department they would not have anything to do with any cars that came from Dean Team.This should have been a red flag. In spite of it, I scheduled a pre-purchase inspection of the car for the following week with an independent shop in St. Louis. They salesman at Dean promised to take the car to the shop, but failed to do so - never received a call about it.. When I called to ask why, he stated the trade value they quoted was no longer valid and instead they quoted 10,000 less for my trade. More red flags but I wanted their car as they represented it as being perfect. I renegotiated the deal after much back and forth.

I drove from Chicago to St. Louis to do the trade and when I arrived I found the car had evidence of paint work and front end collision damage. I asked if I could inspect the car on a lift and they flatly refused. I knew then what I was dealing with. Needless to say, I walked out. I would never deal with these people again. They attempt to sell high line vehicles, but act as though they are a typical street corner used car lot.
