A scam web site so well done the AG's office thought it looked legit. 25.5K gone. Prices too good to be true. Free delivery. An elaborate bill of sale. Communication at first. Even after payment made. Don't want to alarm the other fish. Then they go black. No boat, no money. Just a giant hole in my finances. Appears now they have pulled down the web site. Don't be a sucker like me. Never, Ever wire transfer money to an unknown!
Tip for consumers:
Run, do not walk away from Tristel automotive and consignment.
Products used:
None. Complete scam
It's gone now.
Every link, every email, even the "reviews".
But mostly all the money people sent them.
All gone forever.
Unfortunately the total 'take' and 'victim count' is probably 1000 times what is reflected here.
I only wish, besides justice and the victims getting heir money back- which is not ever going to happen, is that there would be a PROMINENT clearing site for all these things.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid! (doesn't matter since it's all gone, been deleted).
Just be aware, know there are a **LOT** of other scams out there.

Tried to buy a Boat.
But detected scam, I was correct.
I wired money for a boat on 12/16/20 with a 5 day guarantee on delivery. At first they would respond to emails saying it was the holidays holding them up; then it was corona. Now they have quit responding or giving any time frame. As of 1/12/21 I have no boat no contact and they have my wire transfer of 24K dollars.
Tip for consumers:
If someone is going through Tristel Automotive & Consignment don't purchase. I am hoping to eventually get the boat I purchased or my money back. Currently I have no boat and am out 24K dollars.
Products used:
I paid for a boat but ultimately have received nothing.
I wired money for a boat on 12/15/20 with a 7 day guarantee on delivery, at first they would respond to emails saying that the wire haven't been confirmed, then the holidays holding them up; then they sent an e-mail of verification. Now they have quit responding or giving any time frame. Until today 12/15/2021 they haven't sent anything.
Everything started with craigslist advertisement, then who supposed to be the owner sent an e-mail saying that he had the boat with a consignment company - went to the website https://www.tristelautomotive.com customer support e-mail
*******@tristelautomotive.com
I registered as a buyer, after that they sent an e-mail confirming that the seller accepted, later on I had to login on the website with the transaction ID and all the detail for payments is showed on the website.
Have no boat no contact and they have my wire transfer of ******* dollars.
I don't have any doubt now that it is a scam.
I got all e-mails and proof of purchase with details - bank wire to a USA location -bill of sale -etc
I'm not uploading the proof because contains personal information. I'll share it with authorities.
