That's a lot of money for me too, but increments is the most I could have hoped for from the liar. 40K was apparently too much for the liar to pay back all at once so he said that he would pay me back in increments. I would have taken anything at that point. he lives in FL, i live in CA. Not too easy to confront him about this.

 

i bet you could pay someone to retrieve your money!

 

But Mario why don’t you explain when EI said they can get you the White RS you ordered and it wouldn’t have been titled as a kit car, it would have a regular title. But you didn’t want to. So don’t make it sound like EI didn’t make the effort or gave you the option. And stop making it sound like poor little Mario is the victim .if you weren’t playing musical chairs with your decisions, you would have had a Evo a long time ago

 

But Frank,

Why don't you explain why I couldn't have possibly done that since the loan used to buy the car was in default. You know the 30K car LOAN funds I sent to Adam for an Evo 7 that was never delivered to me in the allotted time frame, causing me to cut the insurance, and thus making the auto loan null and void. I bet you didn't know that a car loan like that has certain restrictions, stipulations, requirements that must be met...like actually receiving a car. The loan company has even been on his *** for payment of the funds back, but the Liar did what he does best...lie. I don't know how many times I've told the Liar that before I formally agree to take delivery of another car other than the one agreed upon on the original contract, he must PAY BACK THE LOAN FIRST. Did he tell you that? Oh man, he lied to you too? What a surprise. Speaking of, where is that Liar? Why doesn't he come on here and respond? He obviously doesn't like to pick up his phone, or delete messages on there so new ones can't be left, or respond to emails. I'm done with you Frank. Tell Adam to contact me. Although he obviously doesn't have the guts. So yeah, I guess I am acting like a poor little victim huh? Down 40K and all. Please, everyone feel sorry for me.

 

And by the way? Who the f*uck are you to comment on this Frank? You've been on the scene a few months, and your posting comments about something thats been going on between the Liar and me for 2 1/2 years?

 

damn and i was lookin to buy a 9 from them before i read all this, thou i looked at the page some of the cars have different specs from page to page.

 

Good choice. Stay far far away from these guys, no matter how rosy they paint the picture for you. Adam Burdette is a good liar plain and simple, and Frank appears to be his tool, in training, if he isn't one already. Ask yourself this, where are all their happy customers? Why are they not defending EI in these forums? There are several people down a sh*tload of cash. I would estimate easily a combined 100K, possibly even more. I'm down 40K alone, and there are several people out there just like me.

 

and i thought mitsu was a stealership....they could take lessons from theses guys

 

Frank you have just been owned.

 

As I mentioned earlier in this post, I am in the same boat Mabad is. I am still out over $11K. I was one of lucky ones that received some of my money back. I am sill trying to get the rest of it back. It has been well over a year since the last time Adam made any kind of attempt to reply back to me. And in case you're thinking if they don't give you your car, you'll just take 'em to court or contact the BBB think again. Doesn't work. No one will take the case and the BBB basically said they have no power. There are a couple other things that can be done through legal paths, but, nothing has been successful yet. Hold on to your money and pick up something street legal, US govt approved. You'll be much happier in the end.

As far as the cars are concerned that are sitting in his lot the only thing I can figure is this. They are meant to tease the propsective buyer into full lather. Sitting on that lot they don't have to be street legal. EI suckers someone into handing over thier cash for them to start looking for a car. Once this happens EI BS's you to death about hang-ups in different ports, stages of rebuild, etc. Until you finally say it's time to throw in the towel (almost a year in my case). EI then says they will sell it for you and get you your moneyback. That takes several months with claims that buyers bite and fall through, etc. In my case supposedly my car was stuck in some port in Belgium because the Belgium buyer backed out and the car was stuck in Belgium customs. I talked to another member here who had a similar case. Like me he was able to get about 2/3rds of his money back but with the help of a lawyer. He was told the car was sold, but, only for less than what he had paid for it. So basicaly EI takes your money, plays with you for a year or 2, and then if he's feeling generous gives you back some of your cash. Otherwise he just keeps it, like in Mabad's case.

Anyway, Frank (CELM) is almost worse than Adam. CELM was a perspective buyer back in the day. One of the first interested in the EVO7. He was getting screwed as well. Then all of a sudden he had one and guess what he was working for Adam and EI. He knew what it felt like to get screwed and yet instead of joining all the others who were screwed he insisted on partaking in the screwing. I can understand getting tired of getting it in the a$$ but then to grab the guy in front of you instead of the guy behind you, given it to you, just doesn't make sense. And yet there you have it. Frank is given it to everyone except the person who deserves it. Adam.

Meanwhile Adam has a pretty good gig goin on. New Lotus, G-Wagon, newer house, etc. , etc. Married/Girlfriend with a new kid. He's livin' th good life at our expense. Gotta hand it to him, he's done well. He just better hope the he doesn't screw with the wrong guy who does decided to take it out of the legal realm of things. Like others have said, $8K, $11K, $40K of unanswered cash is a lot of cash. Someone may take it personally.

 

What comes around goes around. It will catch up. Legally or not...it will happen.

 

Yeah, Adam is doing well for himself it seems. So he has a Lotus, new house, etc.? He told me he "doesn't have that kind of money", when I demanded payment. He has the money for all these new things but no money to pay any of his "customers" back. Damn, what a liar. Is "Adam" even really his name? He's probably lying about that too. Not only is he a liar, he's a coward. "Adam" doesn't even have the guts to come on here and respond. "Adam" has to relay info to Frank who has no f*ckin idea about my history with him. Guess what "Adam"? there's something more important to me than money...my pride. I'm going to take great pleasure in exposing you to all who will listen, and putting your shady operation out of business. Its gonna be fun.

 

You could always just pay someone to collect your money for you.
