Car Week Kitty Barfs Up A $64,000 Jeep

Buyer claiming the add ons are not what he was led to believe.

That is an ugly jeep. Looks Mall Rated with all the add ons that must have been listed at full retail price. Why did he not get it appraised before handing over the money?

64000 Jeep

David Schnayer says that on Aug. 17, he paid $64,365.50 to purchase a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Custom from Mecum Auctions. “The dealer represented that, among other things, the car included an ‘estimated $110,000 invested in the build of this one-of-a-kind custom Jeep,” the lawsuit says. The information about the upgrades, Schnayer said, was on a description card posted in the Jeep’s window at the auction. The information is also on Mecum’s website.

But when Schnayer got the Jeep home, he says he discovered the vehicle did not have nearly $110,000 in upgrades.

The 2016 Little Car Show featured around 120 “compact” cars that are at least 25 years or older. American vehicles were this year’s theme though entries from all over the world were accepted. The event and some proceeds go back into the community. The organizer says he started the show not long after he read an article several years ago.

“You feel like you can get close to it. You don’t feel like you need to be standing there with your hands behind you, and at a proper distance. You feel like you can get close to the whole thing,” said Pacific Grove Mayor, Bill Kampe.

And people stuck behind a VW. But good day to sell fire extinguishers.

Too Slow VW Bus

Some 130 air-cooled Volkswagens that left the U.S.-Canada border on Friday for a 1,500-mile, border-to-border cruise rolled into Pacific Grove on Wednesday afternoon, turning heads and bringing back memories.

It was the Pacific Grove VW Show & Shine, a stop on the Treffen 17 VW Cruise and Car Show started by Scott Dempster, CEO of Airhead Parts in Ventura, a supplier of stock, air-cooled VW restoration parts.
