Hello,

Is anybody knows or heard about an american export car named

http://www.sylc-export.com/

located in Florida.

Thanks to share any information from this company, I am interested about a Mach1 they are selling.

Thanks.

 
Sorry, what part of that area are you talking about? The whole of Florida, or just Miami?:)

Anyway, it looks to me like your average expat website, with this guy being from France and catering to Europeans. I know Aussies living in the US, and Americans living in Australia who have the same type of business so I wouldn't call scam straight away.

I have no experience with them, but are there some discussion boards in France where you could ask around? If this guys been around for 7 years you would think someone there used him.

I really don't know if I would trust this. Like Greg said above it seems to be a French guy who caters to Europeans. I know several Germans who do that but there are some major issues here that don't make sense to me.

Here's why:

First his prices are too low. 48000$ for Corvette C1? 30.000$ for an 67 Eleanor clone? No way!

Ok, for the US these prices might be ok, but he needs to ship them over, pay import taxes and earn some money on them so I don't think it's possible.

If he deals in the US, then why is it only in French? If he does only export to France and the site is for French customers then why is he not giving the final price the customer is gonna have to pay?

Which leads us to the next point: If he sells to a French market, then he should post not only the final price but also in the correct currency, which in this case would be Euros.

Then and that's the worst part, in my opinion, there are no pics of the actual cars. The ones on the home page seem like high dollar cars that have been shot professionally, like you might expect to find in a magazine. When you click the pics for details, you get a slide show where the exact same pic that you clicked in the first place runs on repeat. No pics of any details, no side view, no undercarriage, no motor, no nothing. Nada!

Ok, EDIT: you need to go to "inventaire" and then you find a few cars and the detailed pics. still the ones on the front page are nowhere to be found. But I found something else that I have to share. The guy sells a 68 coupe that has a Shelby hood and a few badges and calls it a "Shelby GT 500"!!!!! Not Ford Mustang or Shelby clone (which would be BS anyway as it is a coupe) but Shelby GT500!! And he knows it's wrong because it is 15.550$ only!

That alone would make me run as far and fast as I could.

Here's the link: http://www.sylc-export.com/inventaire/classic-cars/shelby-1968/

The few German guys I know who buy cars in the US, import them to Germany and sell them to you after taking care of everything and getting the car in good shape post pictures of the actual cars, even if they are still in the states. Then it says if one particular car is still in the US, along with an approximate date of arrival, the final price (in Euros) and a complete in depth description of the car. They even list all the things that they are gonna do on the car before the customer gets it and what the customer might have to do in the near future after he got the car.

It's all about not buying the cat in the bag. And this particular guy here has his cats not only in a bag but they are sealed airtight and come in a soundproof box so you can't even see the color of the bag.

That's my two cents.
