I have'nt posted in a while so here goes. I need to know weather to litigate a situation or not. Here is the situation.
On January 1st, 2001 I placed an order with RU car crafters in Sand Springs,OK. After doing much research, I thought it was the best kit for the money. The agreement with RU is to pay a $500.00 deposit,1/2 30 days before the car is due, and balance on delivery. On 3/11/2000, Roger called and said he had the frame done and I promptly sent him a check for half the balance.
The car was due on 5/21/2001. I decided to drive out to pick up the car in Sand Springs on 5/21 in conjunction with a vacation. On 5/20, Roger notified me that the car would not be ready untill 5/22. I drove down on 5/22 only to find out the car was not ready. Roger did deliver the main parts of the car to my house on 6/10. However the following parts were missing. (Roll bar, Side pipes and headers, motor mounts, A arms, coil overs, wiring harness, and many small parts. While most of the parts have filtered in in the last year, I have still not received the headers, motor mounts and dashboard. It is now 21 months after I first placed my order. I cannot assemble the car without the metal mounts,side pipes or dashboard. At first, calls were returned promptly. Now,Roger is no longer answering any calls. My dream car is now sitting in the garage, with the engine on a stand. Do any of you have an idea if I have a case for breach of contract or fraud?
It is sad when a few manufacturers give this industry a bad name and do not respect the hard earned money and dreams most of us put into these cars
Any more info needed feel free to call or Email me and I'll give you all the info I can.
Any RUCC owners input would also be appreciated.
Thanks
