Business ProfileforGateway Classic Cars of Ft. Lauderdale

In June 2024, I made an online purchase of a 1970 Jeep CJ5 from Gateway Classic Cars in Fort Lauderdale, *******. The Jeep was advertised on their website as recently restored with no problems other than no roof cover or doors. It specifically stated it had a functioning AM/FM radio with CD player. The ad also stated that all gauges were in working condition. When the car was delivered on July 3, 2024, I noticed there was a plastic cover over the radio compartment. Behind the cover, there was no radio or CD player. Additionally, when I drove the Jeep, I discovered the fuel gauge, and oil gauge are not functional. The wiring under the dash is a disaster and dangerous, but that is not the issue. I have sent numerous emails to the initial sales person and then the manager of the dealership and also to the corporate office. Neither were helpful and refused to refund any amount of money for the mis-representations about the radio, gauges or electrical problems. Their response is that I purchased the vehicle "as is." The problem is their initial description stated there was a radio and CD player, and that all gauges were operational. This was a complete falsification of facts. The dishonesty, and inaccuracy of the ad is the problem. I asked them to reimburse me $1500 to cover the cost of a new radio and CD player, and this amount would help cover the cost of the electrical problems. Gateway Classic Cars refused to take responsibility for their mistake. This company has proven to be deceitful and dishonest.
