I have a problem. I purchased a 1987 Sunroof Syncro from a seller via TheSamba from Oregon in July and had it shipped out to me in PA. It was sold without a title, and there will be some titling issues as the car has been scrapped... but more on that later. I can't even start with the titling issues without a bill of sale and paper trail (past bills of sale), all of which were promised to me in the purchase. Not only that, they were to be filled out on supplied forms and notorized (PA is big on that). Anyway, I am now over 3 months from the purchase of the vehicle and the seller has had all this time to spend my money, yet I have not had any time to use my vehicle as he has still provided no bill of sale. He is very unresponsive towards phone calls and emails. Furthermore, he runs a business with it's main advertising on TheSamba.com. So, would it be wise to Contact Thesamba.com and see if they can ban him untill my issue is resolved? Is it wise for me to start talking with an attorney, and further claiming damages for my lost time without a vehicle? Is it wise for me to fly out to his address with a local constibul and meet him face to face demanding he sign on the spot? I am a college student and a long time vanagon nut. As such, I have no money. It took me years of patient saving and waiting to purchase the syncro that I have, and this man is standing between me and my dreams. What's that worth? Any suggestions would be helpful. Feel free to contact me on or off list. I have a problem. -Craig Cowan '85GL turned WESTY BOSTIG in the back '87SUNROOF Syncro
