DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS EX-VIPER OWNER?

March 4, 1998 -- Columbus auto dealer indicted on fraud-related felony charges

Columbus -- The Ohio State Highway Patrol said a Columbus automobile dealer has been indicted by a Franklin Grand Jury on felony charges in connection with false or incomplete vehicle titles and odometer statements. Abe Amira, age 33, of 4500 Dublin Road in Columbus, and the corporation of Abe’s Sales and Leasing, Inc., were indicted on third and fourth-degree felony counts of: accepting an incomplete title; possessing, with intent to defraud, an unlawfully obtained certificate of title; and transferring a present title lacking a true and complete odometer statement.

Troopers initiated an investigation in 1996 after Amira sold a vehicle without a vehicle identification plate. The Patrol investigation also revealed he obtained an original Ohio title for a vehicle which had actually been wrecked. A search warrant was subsequently served on Amira’s residence, and businesses he owned including Abe’s Sales and Leasing and the Excalibur Club in Columbus. Investigators seized several vehicles including a 1994 Dodge Viper.

Amira is scheduled to appear in the Franklin County Municipal Court today to answer the charges. The Patrol said their investigation is continuing.

Thanks Jason. Why anybody would buy a Viper, especially used, from a dealer that didn't sponsor this site is beyond me yet it happens all the time.

The quality dealers are here on the board and are listed on the sponsor page of this site. These are the guys that show up at events and serve the Viper community, they are Viper owners themselves. They have the best cars with the best prices, hands down, because this is where the competition is. If they sold a rollback/switched title/salvage job here it would be their butt. Anyone that took the time to find this site would be doing themselves a real disfavor by shopping elsewhere, paying more for less and taking a big chance in the process.

If the charges are proved I hope they throw the book at this guy.
