    I believe International Auto Group. Have not had any dealings with them. Although, the website looks good.

    I am a dealer in the Miami area and just bought a 1962 M/B 190 SL from these really bad guys at IAG Motors in Pompano Beach for a client of mine... its guys like these that give the auto industry the Sleezy reputation that it has.....the car was described as freshly restored, fresh paint, new chrome, super clean driver. Being a dealer with honor and integrity and assuming(my mistake) that they had some,knowing we are neighbors(miami and pompano bch) i bought the car without looking at it (wait dont laugh at me yet). The car shows up at my place on a flatbed (that i sent to pick it up) and it was a complete ABORTION!!!!! It was missing the chrome rocker moldings on both sides, missing eyebrow moldings from all four fenders, the chrome trim rings on the rims were all beat up dented and scratched, the paint WOW dont even know what to say about the paint except that my six year old could do a better job with a roller. how IAG Motors can represent a 15000 dollar whore as a 60000 dollar lady(especially to another dealer let alone a retail customer) almost defies reality.IAG Motors in pompano beach has absolutely No Honor and ZERO Integrity. So i call them up and say "Are you guys Kidding me" and proceeded to list the items that were completely unacceptable on this vehicle. at which time i was told it was my fault for rushing them(do you believe the BALLS on this guy) and that they would make it right. I tell u people when i made my deal he said new chrome windshield is being installed as we speak and car will be ready Friday... the car got picked up the following Wednesday (but i rushed him) any way the saga went on for two more weeks and the car will need to be properly restored. I asked them for my money back and was told that when he sold it he would give it to me. I am picking up my car today and will sell it myself thank you (after doing a proper restoration) these guys at IAG Motors In Pompano Beach FL are BLATANT CROOKS. The two Owners Artie and Stuart Siegle both suffer from Napoleonic complexes(standing six feet tall if you stacked them) will mislead you and then tell you its your fault and take no responsibility for their actions or behavior. BUYERS BEWARE STAY AWAY FROM IAG MOTORS !!!!!!IAG MOTORS should give a Gallon of VASELINE with every Purchase

    IAG sucks. Stay away. Have had two friends get ripped off by them. Took months of heartache and difficult litigation to get them refunds.

    Do not deal with them.

    It sounds like everyone should stay away from IAG.
    As neighbors, next time you will probably take the time to drive from Miami to Pompano. Live and learn.

    Stuart and Arthur Siegle! IAG or Great Dane Motorsport now. Just looked at two Ferraris 308 they offer for sale on Ebay and Craigslist: ZFFUA13A4F0058065 and ZFFAA02A4A0031987. Beautiful pictures online but the reality is different! They supposed to be in excellent condition.... both cars did not want to start! faked service books. Watch out!! These guys are BAD!!

    They are operating from a shed. No website. Who in their right mind would buy an expensive car from there.
    Their only sales outlet would appear to be Ebay.

    Go to gaaclassiccars.com and check the auction results from their July 2018 sale. Just about all the Ferraris that sold at that sale were from IAG - and then IAG is no more. My guess is a bank providing the financing had to liquidate IAG’s inventory after they went belly up. Now they have reopened as Great Dane? Can anyone down in Florida who knows comment on what happened here?

    They've always been shady. I hope they're out of business for good.

    Hate to resurrect an old thread, but glad I found it. I was looking at a 308 dry sump these guys are selling. Pictures looked good, and it had a recent PPI from Tim Stanford Foreign Cars in Fort Lauderdale, with all issues (seemingly minor) having been addressed. However, the allegations of falsifying records gives me pause.

    This would be my first F-car, so I am at a deficit with regard to knowledge here. I was told car is matching numbers and all correct. Can anyone recommend a local expert to check the car and all documents for validity?

    Tim Stanford is the best in south Florida for that model Ferrari. I would call him to discuss the car in question.

    Since there were no US market dry sumps you should insist on an unbroken chain of ownership, import documents, EPA/DOT releases, etc. Make sure it was born a dry sump. There’s nobody better than Tim to do a PPI but there’s a lot more involved in a car like this than just its physical condition, especially when dealing with a questionable seller.

    Since IAG apparently no longer has a web site may I ask how you found out about the car?

    Springsteen drummer Max Weinberg says South Florida vintage car restorer stole $125,000 from him

    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Bruce Springsteen’s drummer, Max Weinberg, is suing the owners of a Florida car restoration company, saying they stole $125,000 by falsely promising him a like-new 1957 Mercedes-Benz and then using his money for personal expenses.

    Weinberg is seeking $375,000 from Arthur Siegle, members of his family and their Investment Automotive Group Inc. in a lawsuit filed Sunday in Palm Beach County.

    In a 2022 report filed with the lawsuit, Detective Scott Schaefer wrote that his investigation showed that after receiving Weinberg’s money, the Siegles deposited nearly all of it into personal accounts with almost $50,000 covering credit card and other personal payments.

    Pierre Hedary, the expert cited in the article, is the best in the business for classic Mercedes. I have always used his services in maintaining my older SLs. Very knowledgeable and above all honest.
