RK Motors Charlotte

Bought a 1969 camaro SS ³⁹⁶⁄₁₉₆₉ a12 Superbee/​!968 GTX conv from RKM All very nice classics. Minor problems but still happy. My only suggestion is why they dont road test all cars before delivery. Would make customers alot more satisfied. Nobody whats to take a 55k plus car to a shop the first day they have it. If it were my dealership i would do road cks /​tune ups/etc.I knew i had a problem when my 396 almost wouldnt climb the ramps to load on the car carrier. We tuned engine/​replaced non working radio/​pulled sterring wheel to fix loose turn signal/​fixed leaking oil gauge in console that damaged mat & carpet too. Back up lights not working. Its mostly just little things. This
is what makes it sad. For almost nothing they could of had my car almost perfect. I asked to drive it but they never offered to let us. Said no ins??? This could be the greatest place to buy a classic car if they would ck things out better. I dont think i would of bought it if i had of drove it. At least not till they tuned up the engine.

Rude, rude, rude. Don’t even bother contacting this company. Particularly Joe Carroll. They will give you the 10^th degree if you aren’t prepared to pay their very optimistic prices. Make any mention of negotiation a lower price and they will break out sarcasm, insults, you name it. Overall a shocking experience for a company trying to sell 6 and 7 figure cars.

Be very careful when dealing with RK Motors Charlotte. They sold me a 95k custom car that in email and verbal communication said the car can be driven anywhere and is in perfect cosmetic and mechanical condition, per Joe Carroll, President and CEO of RKM.
Fact is the car cannot be driven at all. The issues are the engine will not idle, barley starts, incorrect fuel delivery system, leaks oil and transmission fluid, left power window does not work, no springs in the turbo wastegates and BOV not working, not dyno tuned as they said it was, radiator one and a half gallon low and no brake fuild in the reservoir.
Their seal of approval or basic seal of approval is a joke. DO NOT buy a car from this company site unseen basing your purchase decision on their opinion of quality. They have no clue what a quality classic car is.
There are other classic car dealers that are much more honest than these fools.
Got my car back from the hotrod shop here in Denver that repaired all the mechanical problems not revealed to me during my communications with Joe Carroll. His false and misleading comments about my car is very distrubing for a classic car dealer that boasts themselves as the best in the world. 4600.00 to make the repairs and the car runs perfectly now… as it should have when I bought it from RKM Charlotte. The President and CEO will be going to prison very soon for identity fraud. Be careful in your purchase decision with this dealer.

I purchased a 1969 pro Street Mustang from Frank at RK Motors They advertised it as a All ALUMINUM Block. It is Actually a STEEL Block Also they said it had LEATHER Seats They are Vinyl. I will update everyone with the outcome. They don’t return email or phone calls. I filed a complaint with the better business Bureau. If that does not work i will have to retain my Attorney.

BEWARE! I purchased a classic 1956 Chevy Bel Air from out-​of-​state (Mr. Berard –Sales Mgr.) *Promised* to test drive before delivery, evaluate and advise of the condition… when the car arrived I quite naturally took it for a test drive. It was leaking fuel immediately, and noticeably from the fuel filter near the fuel tank. *Extremely* dangerous and immediately cost $ 240 to repair. Additionally, there is *NO* spare tire or tools to even change a flat… the trunk space ‘EMPTY’! Whereupon I requested reimbursement for $ 315 total for the three items. I was told the gas line wasn’t leaking when the car left the dealership *Wrong* and the tire, well that’s to be expected as classic cars have different sized tires and hard to match. Really!
Further inquiries from the owners Carroll President/​CEO were without remorse, simply that’s the way the car is and too bad… OMG for $ 315. After I spent $ 57,000 and over $ 65K with taxes and shipping. I have purchased and owned over 35 cars and never had such a heartless experience from a dealer in 50 years of buying cars.
These guys will lie about a promised «Test Drive» and deny everything.
WARNING! DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS and DO NOT PURCHASE BASED ON THEIR PROMISES have the car checked at an independent garage before purchasing– or you will get screwed!
Five nice letters including the bills from a tire company, PEP-​Boys tools and garage receipts from fuel filter go unpaid… and they never will pay!
