Vintage Airstream, Charlotte, NC?

Has anyone done business with Vintage Airstream in Charlotte? I've e-mailed them several times with no reply. Phone goes into voice mail. Is this a real company? Thanks, Don

The individual that owns that company is a former member of the forums here.

I've never heard of them. They might be a real company. But if they don't answer or return emails they either don't need or want your business. There are many other places to call. What are you seeking? Good luck!

Yes, most of them in the WBCCI area, IIRC.

When I was looking to buy there was a vintage trailer listed on the site that I was very interested in. I called repeatedly. I emailed repeatedly.
After emailing and calling every day for a couple weeks with no response, I finally received the following reply:

"I have received every single one of your emails
and phone calls. I am currently under a very tight
deadline with 2 current large projects as well as receiving
phone calls & emails from 12-15 other folks just like
you at any given time.
When I get to a point when I can return messages
I can give you a call.
Thanks"



I replied back, asking when I might expect to be able to visit. I was ready to purchase and had cash in hand.
I never heard from him again.

Based on this experience, I wouldn't buy anything from him,.....ever.
And I'd advise others not to waste their time.

If you need a person to rehab your trailer or assist you in buying, let me know. I have a great guy who knows what he is doing with Airstreams - In the Largo area. Sometimes he will travel to you to do the work.

Keep your money and deal with an individual or business in person. Anyone who does not answer the phone or an email, or has excuse after excuse gives me a reason for A RED FLAG.

Just to tell you that I have been scammed by the owner of this website. Do not buy Airstream on this website. Keep your money. Make a search on google, you will find why you have better to keep away from this website.
