Buyer beware! I purchased a Lamborghini Diablo 2 and a half years ago.

I trusted Lance's description of the car. Besides smaller things needing much attention, the car was undrivable because it needed a new clutch and would not accelerate past about 60 mph. I took videos of the car's clutch slipping to the point where you could not move out into traffic without holding even the slowest cars back. After many texts and emails went unanswered, I finally thought to myself to go ahead and do a Google review.

That got his attention and he got his lawyer involved, who assured me he wanted to do the right thing and help me out with some of the repair cost at least, which is all I ever wanted in the first place. That also turned out to be false. These people have no intention of making any problems right. I'm sure they will have something snide to say in rebuttal to this review, and if you look at any of the other reviews that have not been good, they talk horribly about their customers.

That says a lot about their character or lack thereof. I have bought many exotic cars over the years and honestly never had a problem with a dealer until I came across this one.

Please do your homework. In my opinion, they are not good people.

This review was posted by good old Jonathan Chad Ingram of Boca Raton Florida who is a CON ARTIST who is currently filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy as he was involved in many fraudulent scams in the real estate market with his Remax Franchises down in Florida. His home is currently in foreclosure and he had his Remax franchise revoked, then he decided to get into the Crypto industry where he devised a ponzi scheme to defraud dozens of investors out of their life savings in the Virginia Beach and Florida areas.

Two years after purchasing a Lamborghini that we sold to Mr. Ingram, he decided to try to extort us out of $10,000.00 for a car that he NO LONGER OWNS. He sent us a demand that if we did not wire transfer him $10,000.00 that he would start writing negative reviews which is BLACKMAIL and EXTORTION. Our attorney got involved and is working on filing criminal charges to have Mr.

Ingram arrested and put in jail and we are currently cooperating on an FBI investigation into Mr. Ingram's criminal activities. It appears Mr. Ingram has run out of money and is trying to shake down/extort dealerships for money in an effort to fund his lavish lifestyle.

According to an attorney in the Virginia Beach area, Mr. Ingram is facing multiple law suits and is soon to be arrested on multiple charges of fraud. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE BEING EXTORTED BY MR. JONATHAN CHAD INGRAM.

He is a CON ARTIST and we have dozens of recorded phone calls, text messages and emails to support our case. This review has already been submitted to Google to be removed. And a pending libelous law suit is soon to be filed. Please see the multiple law suits currently against Mr.

Jonathan Chad Ingram including a recent arrest for driving under the influence: https://***/docket/florida/flsdce/9:2023cv81212/653453 https://***/news/local/st-marys-city-councilmember- elect-chad-ingram-arrested-dui/GN5MYMDVUBBR3BSGGGBCTDY47I https://***/doc/11986****/summons-complaint-summons-verified-complaint (See supportive court filings that Mr. Jonathan Chad Ingram has filed for Bankruptcy and is out of money and is using negative online reviews as an attempt to shake down legitimate businesses to pay him to remove the reviews. This is called BLACKMAIL AND EXTORTION.

Mr. Ingram will soon be sitting in a jail cell where he belongs.

Original review Feb 15, 2023

I would never buy a vehicle again from this company. Purchased a vehicle about 3 weeks ago.

They advertised what items were included in the purchase price. This collector vehicle was to include the original exhaust system to ensure it could be an original vehicle. Lance arranged the transport company to ship the vehicle to me. I had numerous conversations and text messages to be sure all the advertised items were to be shipped with the vehicle.

Received the vehicle - No original exhaust was with the vehicle. Immediately sent a text and called to inquire. Just gave me the run around and blamed it on the transport company. The vehicle came with absolutely zero fuel and scratches all over the vehicle.

Who would ship a vehicle with zero fuel? - couldn't even drive it to the gas station! I have many phone calls and text messages with this company. I offered 3 reasonable options for LuxSport to resolve this issue.

Even hired an attorney to send a letter to move this in some direction. Lance's arrogant response was - they are not planning on doing anything. Unbelievable!

Complete lack of customer experience. Buyer beware of what you see is not what you get.

Luxsport still owes me money

BI sold a 2019 Bentley Bentayga to Lance at Luxsport for an agreed price. It has been confirmed sold to a new buyer for over 8 months and I am still owed $13,000. I am filing a suit to get final payment but this should not be necessary with a reputable dealer!!

Resolved: Shady, shady business

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This is a shady company that cost me time and money. Lance called me to purchase my 2013 manual Audi S4.

I let him know that I had a current offer on it. I also informed him that I had Audi do an inspection on the car and they discovered the brakes were in the yellow and didn’t have a ton of life left in them. He checked prices on brake replacement and offered me more than my other offer - I accepted. He led me on, and drug his feet for five days and then insisted that he needed to renegotiate because of the brakes.

The offer that I had before Lance is no longer there and the deal with Lance is certainly not going to go through.

Learn from my mistake, don’t waste your time with this guy. It is also notable that the cars on his site are significantly overpriced.

Worst experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Multiple stories and lies. Every encounter with Lance is worse than the one before.

He lies about things you don’t even need to lie about, just his personality. He’s a bottom feeder, that is what they do. Every car has some sort of story and if you call it out on him he gets enraged and makes empty threats. Just a real looser.

There is a reason why there are tons of one star yelp reviews in the hidden section at the bottom of their yelp page. I’m sure most are true as all my experiences have been.

Thank you to the team at LuxSport Motor Group for a job well done on the Purchase of a 2018 Porsche 991! I was referred to Lance (the owner) by a dear family friend to source and locate a 2018 Porsche 991 Targa for my wife.

We worked directly with Lance and his team from start to finish. Not only did they locate our new car, they handled the financing, the shipping, registering the vehicle and obtaining the plates and title.

I have nothing but good things to say about this group of professionals. I will gladly refer LuxSport to anyone looking to purchase a high end vehicle.

Resolved: Received Poor Service Before and After the Sale with Lance Yudkin of LuxSport Motor Group, LLC

Dealer did as promised, rectified the issues and I am 100% completely satisfied. I change my stance on LuxSport Motor Group and their owner Lance Yudkin.

He did the right thing and provided me with excellent customer service. I am now a happy and satisfied customer!

Original review Oct 04, 2018

I have purchased many cars in my past, and this Toyota Supra TT 6-speed was car number 41 for my current collection. Finalizing the sale as an overseas customer with LuxSport was like pulling teeth, I felt more like a dentist than a car enthusiast.

All LuxSport staff will be helpful and responsive until they get your money. The after sale service is non-existent. Once paid in full, it took LuxSport over three months to ship the car. I almost had to get on a plane for 7 hours in order to personally move the car ten minutes to their local port.

Once the car was received at my home, it was quick to see that it did not match the mint condition in the text and on-line photos. Both door panels need replacement due to damage, (and were conveniently not pictured in their ad). The center console lid is broken, and the rear bottom seat leather requires replacement. Additionally the car had dents and scratches all over it, not visible in the LuxSport photos, and the engine did not run on delivery, as the on-board computer system was fried.

My numerous requests for vehicle history documentation (Timing belt replacement, etc.) have to date been ignored, resulting in the requirement to replace every wear part in the drivetrain. I am spending thousands of Dollars in order to get this vehicle to the condition I expected it to be in on delivery. My tip: Do not purchase until you see the car, and get the paperwork at time of sale in person. Pay for the car, and leave with the car the same day, or you may get more than you pay for.

I was planning on adding a 80’s Porsche Turbo to my list since LuxSport has many models to choose from. Forget it, never again from LuxSport, very unprofessional in the field.

Lance stepped up and resolved all issues, now a happy customer.

Original review Mar 09, 2018

Be extremely careful with these folks and it is best to avoid them all together. Extremely dishonest operation!!!

Purchased a Ferrari from them in December of 2017 and had it delivered out west arriving in February (a few weeks late). Long Island Ferrari inspected the vehicle prior and shared the tires needed replacement and the engine warning light was on with the evaporator system needing service.

The day before the I purchased, Lance sent an email stating they had installed new tires, fixed the evaporator issue and the engine light was off.

Car was shipped across country and arrived with the original 9 year old tires installed and engine light on. Lance promised many times over he would "make it right, you have my word". Lance's word is worth nothing.

He never kept any of his commitments, just allot of noise and threats from his lawyer. They claimed they were "victims" and I (the customer) was working "an angle" when I pushed him to keep his commitments. Multiple weeks now and still no resolution.

Make sure everything (and I mean EVERYTHING, tires, engine, wheels) is in writing on any purchase agreement. Prior emails and written commitments are not legally binding which is why Lance will tell you anything to get you to make a purchase, EVERYTHING (tires, engine, wheels) must be in the purchase agreement. You need to cover yourself on every issue as these folks are incredible corrupt. DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU ARE TOLD BY LANCE!!!

2016 Range Rover Purchase from LuxSport Motor Group

I recently purchased a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover as a surprise for my wife, and was very pleased with my experience with the dealer LuxSport Motor Group, and their staff including including their sales team and the owner Lance Yudkin. I found the sales process to be simple and easy.

I purchased the exact vehicle that I was looking for and they handled everything start to finish including arranging and handling financing, plates and registration and title work. They delivered my new vehicle on time and even arranged for the vehicle to be delivered to my office in Manhattan.

I would highly recommend working with them. Very happy and satisfied customer!

Disgusted Customer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This dealer had a car I was very interested in and provided me with detailed documentation. The car appeared to me to be over priced and I told them what I would be willing to pay.

I was asked if I wished to make an offer, which I did, subject to a PPI. The person I was dealing with was a delight to work with but needed the approval of her boss, presumably the owner of the dealership, to get approval. She came back and said he accepted my offer and asked if my word was good. I said yes and asked if their word by accepting my offer was also good.

She said it was and was led to believe we didn't need a contract. I arranged for a PPI on the car at a very significant cost.

While I was waiting for this to take place the boss put the car on eBay without my knowledge, and sold the car out from under me.

My conclusion is that the boss (owner) cannot be trusted and Iwould not recommend doing business with them.

Did the hopeful purchaser send a deposit while waiting for the PPI? Of course, if they did not the vehicle is subject to sale to someone else.

Recent purchase of a 1997 Porsche 993 Carrera 2 Coupe White/Tan from LuxSport Motor Group, LLC in New Hyde Park, NY. Have to say that Tamatha Carbone and the owner Lance Yudkin could not have made this process any easier.

The owner sent me paint meter readings, undercarriage photographs, even showed me the face via FaceTime on my iPhone. They arranged transport for me and sent the title and service history in a prompt fashion. From the negotiation to the delivery, they were professional and responsive.

Car arrived as promised and I look forward to working with them again. Extremely satisfied Customer would highly recommend.

Excellent Dealer Experience, Great Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Had a great experience with this dealer. Worked with the owner

Lance Yudkin and his sales associate Lou Pavlounis who was extremely knowledgeable about Porsche.

I'm been lucky to have been able to own a number of these cars over the years and it is nice to speak with someone who really appreciates these cars and has as much passion as I do. Was wary of going to a dealer but they had the car I had been looking for and so went to see it. Car was immaculate and as described. Lou worked with me on price and was also able to take my current Porsche in trade which save on the tax and made the deal really work for me.

He then spent the time to make sure the car went to the repair shop I use (Rennwerke Porsche) to be checked out and inspection came back with no more than the usual minor to do list. What really made it for me was when he was turning over the car he presented me with a folder of all the old service records . Great to see a dealer take the time to understand why owning one of these cars is special.

I highly recommend the team at

Luxsport and Lance Yudkin Review

After finding a Ferrari listed for sale on LuxSports website, I called and spoke with a salesperson to get more details about the car. After discussing the car for about 30 minutes or so, I felt that what I had been told about the history and the condition of the car was enough for me to proceed with the possible purchase of the vehicle. I live locally so I wanted to come out and see the vehicle in person and then if I had been satisfied with my visual inspection, have a PPI (Pre Purchase Inspection) done by a local specialist (Ferrari). The salesperson was going to coordinate showing me the car and them coming to see a car that I own as a possible trade and then get back to me the following day.

A few days later having heard nothing from LuxSport I followed up with emails and another call. At this time I spoke directly with Lance and the salesperson on a conference call. I was told by Lance that this vehicle was not on the premises of LuxSport but was actually part of Lance’s personal collection, the car was perfect and it was located in the Hamptons. At this time we all confirmed that we had an agreement (Deal) in principle and I offered to go see the car in the Hamptons at his convenience. Lance said he would call to me in a day or two to arrange a time. For the next weeks he dodged my calls and emails until finally I was able to pin him down on a call. At this time he had a new story. The car actually wasn’t his but belonged to both himself and his wealthy partner out in the Hamptons and he needed to get his partners permission before selling the car, and that would take a day or two. Unfortunately, this elusive partner could not be reached for another 2 weeks because he was on vacation. Apparently he is wealthy enough to own a collection of Exotic cars but not a cell phone. Finally, after multiple calls to the salesperson and to Lance directly I was told that the car was no longer for sale.

LuxSport listed a car for sale, Lance seemingly misrepresented his ownership of the car and possibly any connection to or existence of the car other than photographs on a website. Even assuming he did own the car with this other investor, in what world is an agreement made between two partners where they sit down and say, let’s sell our car and then when a buyer shows up there is the need for another meeting to occur where they discuss “IF” they should sell the car. That meeting should already have happened months earlier when you listed it !!! It’s nonsense and makes me question whether the car was never his to list in the first place.

Finally spoke with Lance after hounding him for 3 weeks. He says he met with his very wealthy partner and he hasn’t yet decided that he wants to sell the car that he offered for sale. Who does business this way? I write this review almost 2 months after I first responded to Luxsports Ad to sell the vehicle and to date there has been no conclusion to the saga.

The buying and selling of exotic and collector cars is a business that requires trust. You need to trust that you are accurately representing the vehicles, their provenance, their condition, or even the build of the cars equipment. In my opinion Lance Yudkin and LuxSport do not meet that hurdle. After my unfortunate experience, I went to the web and looked for other feedback on car club sites and other resources and, not surprisingly, found other very unfavorable complaints about LuxSport and Lance, about their questionable business practices, service records and more. As the saying goes, “buyer beware” but in the case of LuxSport and Lance Yudkin, that applies doubly so. Deal with them at your own risk!

If you truly think buying a car from these crooks is a good idea, you need your head examined. Just google them and then spend 15 minutes of your time and you will see the true meaning of the term "Buyer Beware"

Kymberlie Jen

This posting was posted by Scott Decanio of Basking Ridge, NJ who called on our 2006 Ferrari F430 Spider and we did discuss the vehicle but did not agree on a price and we did not have a deal in principle. After a few weeks of negotiation, we decided to take the car off of the market and to relist the car again in the spring of 2016 which is what we did.

We agreed to give Mr. Decanio first right of refusal when we relisted the car, which he declined. Mr. Decanio wrote this review only because we relisted the car at a higher price due to the rising Ferrari market out of spite.

We have requested that Mr. Decanio kindly remove the posting and our attorney is currently working him to remove it.

I dealt with Lance and found him to be just as you describe.

His website shows cars that have been sold months prior to you seeing them.

The Ferrari you had a deal in principle was probably sold to someone else. He is painted in a corner time and time again, and just uses BS to get out of it.

What year, model ,color and miles was the Ferrari you were interested in?

Buyers beware is an understatement for Luxsport and Lance Yudkin's reputation. My advice, buy privately to cut these middle guys out of the market!

Lance has been arrested for Felony Grand Larceny. He is nothing more than a conman.

That was verified by the 3rd precinct of Nassau County. Hopefully very soon he will be in prison where he and his lying sales staff belong.

Second Purchase from LuxSport Motor Group, Positive Experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Just completed my second purchase in the last three years from a dealer in New York. LuxSport Motor Group, LLC.

Both transactions have been flawless. The first purchase was a 1998 Porsche 993 C2S and the second was a 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa. Both cars were exactly as described and the sales process seamless. Lance was great to deal with- I only wish I had more time to spend with the rest of their inventory- incredible.

Buying older, second hand sports cars can be a dicey business if you are dealing with the wrong outfit.

I walked away from both of these transactions with a smile. I would highly recommend this dealer.

I bought a 1992 Porsche turbo from lance. When I 1st spoke with him he assured me the car was perfect, with no issues scratches or dents and everything was in perfect working condition.

Additionally it was advertised that the car just recived a 60k service and he had all the receipts to go with it. The car was to come with a car cover, spare key and the list goes on. When I received the car, the 1st thing I noticed is that it had *** in the driver side mirror, yes he sent me a car with *** in the mirror cover. Then right on the hood of the car there was a good 5"+ scratch that was touched up in the worst way.

The r/f power window was not working and the a/c was not working as well. And this is before I even put the car in 1st great. When I took the car to a machanic, every single oil hose was leaking and had to be replaced, the 60k service Lance claimed done, was never preformed, the r/f power window motor had to be replaced. a spare key never came with the car, I never received a car cover.

The service records lance said he had, those never came as well. I tried to no end calling, emailing and texting lance. He always said he was traveling, or he would get it out to me.

Well sham on me for trusting lance and going based on his advertisement and not having a pre purchase inspection done. Do your self a favor a get a pre inspection done before you buy a car from luxsportmotorgroup Llc.
