During an event in Montreal Canada back on the weekend of Sept 6 & 7th 2014, my husband and I saw a funny car roller for sale. This car my husband had dreamed about owning for a while now. After a short discussion, I told my husband let's buy the thing so we went back with a $2000 deposit cheque to hold the car and arranged pickup at a later date. During the time of purchase, there was no active listing on the car so when we discussed price there was no mention of US currency. We are all Canadian and the car is located in Canada and with no mention at the time of placing the deposit in his hands that it was being sold in US currency, why would we think it was being sold in anything other then Canadian currency. A few days after him cashing my deposit cheque, he called and said " Oh that cheque was in Canadian funds but we are selling the car in US Funds". My husband really wanted this car so after some discussion between my husband and the owner, they made a gentlemen's agreement on the phone to split the difference. Keep in mind that the US exchange rate is 12 cents on the dollar. So to buy $1 US dollar it cost us Canadian's $1.12. So that was fine. A few days ago the owner calls us up again and changes the agreement once more. Now he wants full pop,all in US currency. At this point, we tell him no way and to send our deposit back to us. He refuses to do so, saying he's had labour hrs to remove the engine and now he will have labour hrs to reinstall the engine. That isn't our problem. We weren't the ones who changed the deal not once but now twice. And as an added bonus, he listed the car for sale yesterday on Racing Junk. I don't think he can legally do that, considering we have a deposit holding that car. In my opinion, he is committing fraud!
