Let me start by saying I am business owner, farther and car enthusiast. My youngest son “B” (a type one diabetic since 2013) found what he described as a fantastic truck he found for sale a McCAULEY WHOLESALE LLC. I took the day off work and we drove several vehicles from this dealer. B settled on a very nice looking 2012 Chevy Colorado with 76,023 original miles. During the test drive the truck drove exceedingly well and from the exterior looked to be in very good shape, we did not notice at the time of the test drive there was not a current inspection sticker on the windshield. Note this is against the law, any dealer plate bolted onto a vehicle MUST HAVE A VALID INSPECTION! I have attached pix of our test drive that illustrates no inspection sticker on the vehicle whatsoever. Please also note on the day we test drove the vehicle the only posting in the vehicle was the sale sign in the front window and I quote “1 year warranty, Gas Saver, LIKE NEW”. My son was very excited, he is anxious to begin to build positive credit in his name. Of course I am a proud father that wants to promote the American dream and will do anything to help him. I agreed to cosign a loan for B as I did with his older brother several years prior. We were steered to DCU through McCAULEY WHOLESALE, LLC. This process was super easy and we had a bank check 2 days later. When we went to pick up the vehicle Mr, Allen (the owner) stated the vehicle wasn’t ready and had to have the safety inspection done, he said come back the following day to pick it up. The following day my wife drove B to the dealership and was able to pick up the Colorado. I got a phone call saying the inspection was only issued for 60 days due to the OBD emissions not meeting standards due to the battery replacement. We were instructed to drive the vehicle for some time then bring it back for the emissions check and a fresh sticker. Several weeks had passed and I had some free time on a Friday so I decided to bring his truck to the McCAULEY for the inspection. ( The night prior the rusted tail pipe fell off the truck and was in the bed of the truck) Mr. Allen stated they do not do their own inspections and to take the truck to Hampton Motors 611 Lafayette road in Hampton NH. I drove the truck to the inspection garage as indicated and the owner quickly without inspecting other than checking OBD requirements issued as 13 month new inspection sticker. I was kind of baffled as the exhaust that had just fallen off the day prior was literally in the bed of the truck! After the inspection I was able to have a local Lou’s Custom Exhaust replace the rotten tail pipe. When the tech asked me to come look at his work up on a lift I discovered what I assumed was serious frame rot. The very next morning I took the Colorado to a garage down the street to have a safety inspection done. The report (also in the pix) stated the vehicles frame was so rotted it was deemed unsafe and should be parked and not driven. The dealer clearly knew this was an unsafe vehicle and not only violated the law but sold an unsafe vehicle to my SON! Unfortunately after we discovered this we found out this a repeated pattern and we are not the only unfortunate buyers to be scammed. I kindly asked for our money to be returned, Mr Allen declined and stated we had to drive vehicle back to him for repairs. I explained the vehicle was unsafe to drive and he was more than welcome to send a wrecker at his expense to come get it, he declined. It is now my duty to my son and all the other poor people Mr Allen has ripped off to pursue this to the full extent possible. I have notified the NH State Police safety and inspections department and am currently working with Richard Leute. His department has been aware of this unlawful transaction as well as the illegitimate inspection scheme. I am grateful for my local Kittery PD department, Motor Officer Harmon as he was fantastic steering me in the right direction. I have notified both Attorney Generals in Maine and New Hampshire of the situation and plan on meeting with a specialized attorney next week. My goal now is not only restitution, compensation but to make sure this deceitful excuse of human will never be able to sell another vehicle as long as he is alive! We welcome other comments of victims on this blog.
