I received a fax from the owner the day before I was supposed to fly to P-cola telling me that he sold the car to someone else (for more money). He didn't even have the nuts to call me in person. "He broke up with me by fax". Crooks! The funny thing is, after I bought my Elise, I saw his Elise back on Autotrader/Ebay. His buyer had flaked, and the car was back on the market. The best part was that he was asking $2500 less than I had agreed to pay. Frankly, the only thing that made me angry were the comments he made when I called him. He told me "tough sh!% it's the car business" and to go f%(# myself. I was flabbergasted, especially since I'm in the car business! I couldn't imagine ever telling a customer anything like that (even the customers that deserve it). I'll say it again. Diamond Motors and Bill Weatherall are crooks and scumbags.

I had a horrible experience with Bill Weatherall as well. he sold me an Elise that he didn't have the title too (said it was paid for and he was expecting it any day). He then took two months to pay off my trade in even though he has sold it within a week of me making the deal. He floats titles and everyone in the Lotus community should stay away from this guy. I had to file a formal complaint with the state of Florida DMV and threatened to go after his dealer bond before he sent me the title to the Lotus and paid off my trade in.
He lied to me repeatedly. I thought since he ran a dealership, it was safe for me to trade in my car. My credit could have been ruined by this jerk off.
It was a horrible experience.
