Massi Motors $5,500 Cash Stolen in Broad Daylight – Engine Blew in 24 Hours, Dealer Refused to Help! FRAUD! Durham NC

On April 5, 2025, I paid $5,500 in cash for a used vehicle from Massi Motors, located at 3314 N Roxboro St, Durham, NC 27704. ​Kbb.com+3MapQuest+3massimotorsdurham.com+3

Within less than 24 hours, the car began smoking so severely that I was pulled over by the police. Upon reaching home, the vehicle shut off completely.​

Upon inspection, I discovered the car had NO coolant—an essential fluid for proper engine function. I purchased and added two bottles of coolant myself. After allowing the engine to cool, I attempted to restart the vehicle, resulting in the engine completely failing.​

I immediately contacted the dealership and spoke with an employee named Erik, who was dismissive and stated that I would need to pay over $300 to have the car towed back to them—despite the engine failure occurring within a day of purchase. We requested that the dealership replace the engine, but they refused, citing the vehicle was sold "as-is." However, selling a car without disclosing the absence of coolant and potential engine issues is intentional deception and fraudulent.​

I informed Massi Motors that I would be filing complaints with the North Carolina DMV, the NC Attorney General, and consumer fraud protection agencies. They showed no concern.​massimotorsroxboro.com

This dealership is engaging in scam operations, taking hard-earned money from customers—especially those paying in cash—and providing no accountability when the vehicle fails almost immediately. It is disgraceful that such a business is allowed to operate.​

I will pursue this matter through every legal and consumer protection channel available. If you’re considering buying from Massi Motors, DON’T. This isn’t just a bad dealership—it’s a ripoff, a fraud, and a danger to consumers.​
