Eric Sheets International ESI, Eric Sheets Intl Sold us a used Porsche 993 with many hidden problems he failed to disclose costing us thousands! Sweet

11th of Oct, 2011 by User112872

Eric Sheets Intl was selling a 117K Porsche 993 in an unusual color. We only received 5 photos because he claimed the weather wouldn't cooperate. The price based on his version of the condition of the car was very fair so my wife and I drove the 600 miles to buy it.

I inspected the vehicle and found some bad paint repairs below the bottom of the rear window which he and his partner claimed they couldn't see so we knew it needed some light body work. For the mechanic inspection I found several oil leaks on the engine that are repairable but was told there were NO leaks during our phone conversion including his mechanic. The test drive was fine and the car's mechanical condition is fine except for the oil leaks. The only real problem was the paint repair under the rear window.

The following Monday I had taken her to a repair shop to get the smog test and it was pointed out that the entire rear section of the car was been repainted. This pulls the resale value of the car down by thousands unless we're ready to have her cleaned up properly. I called Eric Sheets to ask him for a $2,000 refund to make for the newly found information and he said "NO WAY" and hung up the phone. This is the kind of business that ruins the experience for everyone. This group buys damaged vehicles and cleans up enough to sell without disclosing the repairs. The CarFax on this car shows absolutely NO paint work but the repair is less than one month old.

My advice: Steer clear of Sweet Home, Oregon for Porsche sales, you never know what you're gonna get!
