I do not appreciate the inference that this is gossip though as my friend , who I am in the process of finding legal representation for because he is a pacifist minister is out of $3,000.00 dollars , and being an attorney from the U.S. myself , I am trying to resolve the issue.
I think posting names is dangerous in this or any Third World nation , but I will abide by your policy.
As I was saying , My friend , an American expat and a close friend purchased a 150cc Dune Buggy from the Pioneer Shop in Cabarete on April 16 , he has the receipt if you need to see that too. The friend lives in Islabon not far from the Cabana , a black American named John , his contact details are
alvinjcarter@hotmail.com if that helps. He had earlier purchased a motorcycle from Pioneer that had a few issues , but the owner took it back and sold it , for twice what the buyer paid for it. He then purchased the dune buggy which he drove for one week and the engine retaining bolt broke. After the bolt broke and the engine fell on the ground in the center of Cabarete , the dealer repaired it , but it never worked right since . It caught on fire , burning the drive belt 4 times , and now it wont run at all and the owner refuses to fix it stating that it is the buyer's fault because he drove too fast once from Islabon to Cabarete centro and the owner claims to have been watching him drive it the week that he had it before then engine broke.
The owner even threatened myself when I inquired. I was going to buy a few myself for a start up business had the dealer been reputable , now , since I was threatened , I am angry , and am exasperated for my friend who has little recourse in this country.
The last thing I want to say is that there was a American lady who had bought a 3 wheeler from this dealer , same quality control issues , the owner repaired it , without complaint. I get the feeling that the owner is doing this because my friend is a black American expat.
The contact number is his as I am in and out of the country on business but you can verify the details with him. I am thinking this site is for expats to be able to HELP one another and the thought of someone else getting ripped off is unbearable to me and I only want to warn others. Consumer protection isn't gossip.
