The only person I'd be contacting to help with SAS would be the Attorney General in Tennessee. If you put money on a car I'd get it back. You're more likely to get your money back than a completed vehicle.
thanx robert...i will take that advice...i am told i'm not alone...i'm new to this forum...if there are others with relevant info on this subject...maybe you and the folks can steer them my way? much appreciate
JNCSPYDER;
Also you can search on the site using the magnifying icon above. Type in SAS and that will give you several hits.
I second Robert's motion. Contact the Attorney General of Tenn.
thanx art will do!
What Robert said X2! As I understand, that guy hasn't actually produced a car in a while (couple years?). The line up is long (there are people who've been waiting 6? 7 years?). You're dealing with a first class con artist, you'll never see a car, and the best course of action is threatening legal action if he doens't return your deposit. Don't let him convince you that he'll start your car "right away" (because he won't!), and once you get your money back, never talk to the guy again. Al
I've seen many posts on SOC, Samba, etc. and other sites concerning Specialty Auto Sports.
I have never heard anything good about them, people having sent down payments years ago, etc.
I have no first hand experience.
I have wondered why that company is still listed as a maker on SOC

thanx roy & alb for the replys...
They actually pay for the ad here (ad appears in the right hand column every so often). Most members, many of who are also donating members, aren't happy about the ad. Immediately file with the State's Attorney General's Office. If you have means hire a lawyer. I'm sure others bilked and are members here will support the effort.
The few that actually were delivered cars are happy with their SAS and have defended the Marque but not the man.
thanx for the feedback wolfgang...i am weighing my options
You might also contact @Jim Kelly on here.
He has an SAS coupe that he has finally gotten (mostly) sorted out after finding how someone had sabotaged his cooling system. Do a search on his name on this site.
JNCSpyder:
If you are willing to share, what exactly is your situation vis-a-vis SAS?
Have you placed a deposit or is it something else?

When did you send a deposit?
What delivery timing were you given?
What did you order?
Did you visit SAS (before sending money) or just send money?
What do you have in writing from SAS?
What reserach did you do on the company, before sending money?
You keep asking for help, what kind of help are you looking for?
well roy..not sure i should give all details..but what the hell...coming up on three yrs....was told 18 to 24 mths for speedster model...tenn was along way to go sooo i just sent a cashers ck and i do have a written contract...i'm not entirely a fool...i guess i know what to do..just gotta do it...ask for a car SOON or my deposit back...unless i can get free legal assistance i guess i'm just venting to those who know on this forum
I'm sorry for you, man. But the thing is-- you're not going to get a car, so you'll need to get a lawyer or decide to let it go.
Jim Kelly has posted at length regarding the pyramid scheme that is SAW/SAS. You really do want to pursue legal action, for the good of everyone.
Regarding the ad, etc, that's a matter for the site administrator. His name is Theron.

Try that link, it should take you to a forum of people who are waiting for cars. I couldn't double check it because it wouldn't open on my phone. Anyway, it is a group of people waiting for cars. There are a few dozen on there but very few comments anymore. I think the guy that has been waiting the longest has been on the list more than 11 years. He actually ordered a '32 Ford when SAS was building those but after SAS stopped building those he opted for a 356 but he's still waiting.
Good luck.

As Stan said (and I did before), he'll never build you a car so dont' let him talk you into thinking he'll produce, as it will just draw the whole thing out even longer. Take immediate steps to get your money back. Thinking that after all this time he'll build you a car is a pipe dream. Take immediate steps to get your money back.
Robert and I had dinner with Jim Kelly a month or so ago. He explained that the only real hope of getting anything back from SAS is just hanging on. If the people on the list push too hard, he will just declare bankruptcy and then they get nothing. They are between a rock and a hard place and unfortunately didn't find the SOC until it was too late.
I still agree that he needs to contact the Attorney General of Tenn.
thanx for the link robert & troy...very depressing...really hate my self for being dooped it seems..i'll weigh my options and hang in there
