Removing barriers to classic car ownership has spurred Beverly Hills Car Club’s growth, but it also has been a source of trouble: When transactions go awry, the problems tend to involve allegedly damaged or compromised cars. DanielNMiller reports:
on the car website Hooniverse said Beverly Hills Car Club is known for “pretty optimistic pricing on some remarkably decrepit … but still kinda tempting vehicles.” The story focused on a Continental that had faded to the color of “corpse skin.”Troy Ladd, the founder of Hollywood Hot Rods, a high-end custom car shop in Burbank, has bought two cars from Beverly Hills Car Club since 2020. One was a 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider he purchase for $54,000.
“You see they have some really nice cars — obviously the Alfas, the Jags,” said Kubr. “And the sheer volume of vehicles definitely helped. You think: There are so many cars, they know what they are doing.” According to attorney Gregory Babbitt, an automotive law expert who has not had dealings with Beverly Hills Car Club, “There is case law that says you can’t sell a vehicle that is a danger on the road.”
Manos attributed Kubr’s lawsuit to “a simple case of buyer’s remorse.” He added: “to maintain positive customer relations, Beverly Hills Car Club agreed to rescind the sale and refund the money to the buyer.” Before the sale, the dealership allegedly assured Parlange that the car “runs and drives as it should,” but it actually “was in such a bad condition that it was inoperable,” according to legal documents he filed.Parlange sued Beverly Hills Car Club in Bordeaux Regional Court, which appointed an expert who determined that “a significant level of corrosion” on the Mustang’s frame rendered it “highly dangerous,” according to a filing by the court.
