*warning* do not buy any vehicle from steve raso from motorcars ltd ny motorcarsltdny.com or motorcarsltdny on ebay, he is the biggest scam artist used car dealer in the country, he misrepresents vehicles, turns back mileage and will ignore you after the deal is done.

I just shipped a car From Motor Cars LTD/Steve Banks for another forwarder overseas. I have never had this many issues with a shipper in my 20+ years of doing this. It was not until I threatened to get local law enforcement involved as well as US Customs that he ever sent me any paperwork required in order to export the vehicle. By that time, between the storage fees he charged the buyer, and the detention/storage we had accrued for the container sitting loaded for 3 weeks, once I got the paperwork, we just sent straight to customs to try and avoid racking up any more cost to the buyer.. Apparently, they weren't paying attention, as they stamped the car out. When I looked at all the documentation, it was clear that this was some sort of scam. The title was for a 1991 Targa Convertible, however we collected a 1991 964 (not a convertible) The title he sent was obviously for a salvage vehicle as well.
This is one of those times when Buyer Beware, I feel bad for the poor guy in Taipai who thinks he is getting his dream car.. !

Steve Raso? Steve Banks? One in the same? Same dealership, same MO, don't believe ANYTHING he tells you.

I flew to Brooklyn, met Steve, checked out the car and had it shipped home. Not until I got home to my DMV did I find out he'd sold me a SLAVAGED car. Now I'm in the middle of evasive answers and refusal to refund. I'll let you know how it goes. All descriptions were "one owner, clean as can be...blah blah blah." Stupid me should have done a CARFAX that would have shown at least 10 owners, the theft and rebuild, extensive damage, etc. I wanted to believe he didn't know, but after reading all this, he knew. I got scammed too.

Steve sold me a 2001 SL500 and I have not gotten the complete car and his "paint job" and repair he lied about fell off the front bumper. Yes, I would agree that this guy is a total fraud. He does not reply to calls or emails. I have turned him into eBay as well as the state of NY.

Steven Raso bought my car from me in 2011 and he promised to return the tags as I forgot to take them off. Instead he has been putting them on different cars and running the turnpike. I hope I never find him. He will regret the day!

**WARNING** Beware of Steve Raso and his Ebay scam techniques! If you're a seller NEVER accept his bids (He's already burned us on one buy) or the fake accounts he uses to run up bids on his own vehicles! We've seen him post a vehicle for sale that he's purchased under another name and then uses that alias to demand money back for false "problems" he says were encountered. Watch out for emails from "Larissa Raso", Laura or [edited], "[edited]" or "Steve Banks" - all shill accounts/names he uses rather than his dealership name and Brooklyn location. His usual MO for Ebay vehicles is to buy and then jack the price way above market value for resale, hoping a sucker will call and work out a deal for less before the auction ends or the "Buy-It-Now" price expires. Doing so keeps the poor buyer from being able to leave negative feedback for him. Makes you wonder how many of the above "Positive" comments were from real buyers!

Steve Raso is a total fraud. I bought a '91 Range Rover from him in March '11. I'm in Dc and had to go to New York to pick it up. He conned me into not using Ebay and wiring the money to his account so Ebay couldn't do anything. But he misrepresented the vehicle and he started telling me how he was scamming his partner. I had already paid him so I had to take the vehicle...plus I'm an attorney and knew I could get him.

So I'm uncomfortable with the vehicle and the next day tell him he lied about the vehicle he agrees to take it back that day. I had to leave the vehicle after hours because I was coming from DC. The guy keeps the vehicle and my money and I find out sells it to someone else. He doesn't pick up my calls and texts back with excuses.

So my investigators find him..I sue and collect the judgement from his joint account. He's lucky I never saw him again in person. But never deal with this guy and never deal with him off ebay. The guy will give you paperwork that doesn't match his company...he put some New Jersey company I guess thinking he could avoid a lawsuit in Staten Island...he was wrong and this is where I sued him at. Look him up in the Staten Island courthouse and you will find info on him.

Don't believe his Ebay rating...like most scam artists he does some legitimate deals and scams others. Ebay will not allow you to post reviews on you if he gets you to pay off ebay. If you bought a car from this piece of [censored] take action now.

Yes, I agree. I put a refundable $500 deposit down on a Eurovan so I could see the vehicle in person. The vehicle also wasn't as represented in the ad., needed way to much work. So I asked him for my money back. He is refusing, even though we agreed that it was a refundable deposit. Ugh, now I have to take him to small claims court. Please, please do not do a deal with him, he is a lair and will do anything for money.

Yes we totally agree with Got Screwed by Raso and ###steveraso and ###steveraso2. We were screwed by him too in February 2013. Steve Raso at Mototcars Ltd, Brooklyn, NY advertised the car as "showroom new, mint, clean, 68K miles." I asked him repeatedly about the condition of the car as far as paint, body work, dents, and damage. He sweet talked me too. He said it was perfect and an amazing car. There are so many things wrong I can't list it all: back windshield has a 3 foot crack and will have to be replaced. Antenna missing. Both side mirrors broken. Back door won't open. Wires hanging out of grill. Driver door won't close all the way. Deep scratches with rust on the roof and side. Both tail lights cracked and broken. Dead battery. Check engine light on. LIghts broken or missing inside. Headliner coming down. Air conditioner not working. Air vents inside broken off. The cosmetics of the car make us think it has 168K miles or else a pig lived in the car. We are afraid to drive it. Same deal, won't take phone calls now. We had to beg him to send the title and finally got it 2 weeks after the car. Then we see it had a lien on it at the time we paid for it. DO NOT BUY FROM STEVE RASO AND MOTORCARS LTD NY. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HIS NICE LOOKING WEBSITE OR EBAY RATING. The negative ratings disappear after they make him refund money to people who bought through ebay.

im the owner of the honda ridgeline and this guy steve sweettalked me into thinking that this was the best car in the world. after making my payment and waiting almost 4 weeks for it to be delivered i brought it to the honda dealer immediately because it NEEDED brakes (steve failed to tell me this). it was also brought to my attention by the honda mechanic that after running the vin number into the honda data base, it showed that the truck had been serviced prior to me purchasing the truck and showed over 70, 000 miles at that time of service. at the time steve sold me the truck it has less than 50, 000 miles which means he ILLEGALLY tampered with the odometer and falsified a motor vehicle title. It was also pointed out that the truck had been in a major accident and the ENTIRE passenger side of the truck was repainted. Iam currently sueing steve raso and taking legal action against him. to this day he doesnt answer my calls or emails. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH STEVE RASO.

I totally disagree. I have purchased 3 cars from steve over the past few yrs and have only great things to say about him and his team. He sells nice cars at great prices and always delivers a stunning product.
I show steve these 2 complaints and he stated the brazil dealer got the car he wanted and is very happy The person who complained about the Honda Ridgeline loves it and complained because he thought shipping was included and it wasn't. And david street was not a car person and Made false claims just to scare Steve's name. Check his feedback on ebay motors 100 % in the car biz since 1994 and keeping everyone happy ( which aint easy ) Rossman and mr street have the cars they wanted and are happy now. I feel people only post complaints but no one posts positive comments because everyone is too busy to say something good but we all rush to say something bad. In life and business you can't please everyone but steve does and his track record proves it thx ann

Totally agree with you !
He sold me a car, and sent the wrong one with no tittle. And now does not want to return my money... We opened a case with DMV, got an investigator and B.B.B. on his ### to try to resolve. You should do the same! They will get him sooner or later.
