I was bought this car from out of state because it had low mileage and a great price. I contacted Magic Motors and was put in touch with Julian. He assured me the car was great. He emailed that there were no mechanical problems, it ran perfectly, and I would have no problem registering it. His exact words - "it's in good mechanical order." Since I couldn't take it on a test drive, he offered to do a video chat while he test drive it for me. He was very patient and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable enough to get the car. I was a little shocked when he said he would arrange shipping and the company he chose was $200 more than every company I called. I ended up going with my shipping company. I also started to get a little concerned when I told him I had arranged pick up for the next day and he said he needed a 2-3 day notice. Upon arrival my car looked great and the interior was very clean. However, I was only able to drive it for less than 8 miles before the check engine light came on. Julian knew that I lived in Georgia and I made it clear to him that we have emission testing that we must pass in order to register our cars. Also, the car was making a very strange rattle. I took the car to my mechanic (and got pulled over and got a warning because the title wasn't mailed until 10 days after the sale and I had NO proof of ownership except for my emails) and he said my car was in no way in "good mechanical order" it was barely drivable! Among various problems, I had emission codes pop up that had to be fixed in order to register the car, my radiator was fracked, I had two oil leaks, zip tied parts AND THERE WAS A 70,000 mile descepency on the odometer! I immediately got in contact with my bank and they said I could absolutely dispute my charge and get my money back. I called, emailed and texted Magic Motors. Julian promised to make things right. He even admitted to their mechanic clearing the check engine light to keep the cost of the car down (because they don't have emissions testing in FL.) He asked me to send in the estimate from my mechanic and I did. I went ahead and authorized the repairs because Julian gave me his word that they were going to fix this and that this wasn't their normal business practice. I followed up with Julian and that's when he told me they would not cover labor only the parts and that they would send me parts. WHAT?! They sent me a defective car and now they want me to trust the parts they send? Not to mention, at this point my car is nearly finished. I told them that wasn't acceptable, honestly, they should cover all of the emissions related repairs, but if not covering labor is their policy then they needed to at least cover the parts. Nothing Now they are ignoring all forms of communications. There is nothing more I can do, but warn people about them. They are deceptive at best and will not fix their mistakes, and I would definitely beware of Julian! FYI- They have an F on BBB, two reports filed on Ripoffreport.com and if you look through the reviews on cars.com- you'll notice that 64 of them are posted in a 3 day span (boosting there own score).
