A man dressed as a gaucho
barricaded himself in a car dealership
located in San Telmo. The subject, who lives in Salta, reported that he paid 10 million pesos as an advance payment to purchase a truck, and that he even left his previous vehicle as a partial payment, but that the delivery did not take place. This Friday, he threatened to spend the night at that location if they didn't solve the problem.
The alleged victim is
Abelardo Usandivaras
, a rural producer and agricultural consultant from Metán who remained in the place with two of his children, one of them a minor, while the rest of the family was also in the City of Buenos Aires because They were waiting to pick up the truck they had supposedly purchased.
According to his version, which he detailed in dialogue with
TN
, the dealership, located at Paseo Colón at 1400, offered through an online sales platform “three gasoline trucks that were manufactured until last year and that they said were in their possession. ”. “Today we know that
those three vans did not exist
,” she accused.
“In all my messages, before leaving Salta in December, I asked them if the trucks existed and they told me yes, and they sent me photos,” he said.
The specific thing is that after paying that amount of money in December 2023 and leaving his previous vehicle as a down payment, he had no more news about his new “work tool.”
Abelardo Usandivaras, a rural producer and agricultural consultant from Metán, claims that they did not deliver a truck for which he paid a million-dollar advance.
“
Since December, they have passed me from one phone to another and there is no visible face
. They did not want to give me the last name of the representative who is not responsible. There is no one here, and they don't want to tell me who or what they are, and they send me to an operator or a telephone service. I hope the owner shows up, I want to see someone responsible,” she complained.
The “gaucho from Salta” said that he decided to travel to Buenos Aires after learning of other similar cases. And he assured that, to resolve the conflict,
they offered him another vehicle different
from the one he tried to purchase, with a different value than four months ago, when he made the advance payment.
Faced with this scenario, Usandivaras decided to barricade himself in the place until the money is returned. “We will all remain in coexistence.
I come from the countryside and a night can be spent anywhere there
,” he warned.
And he added: “Here they say that they are purely administrative. If they are, let them go home to sleep. I am a good person, I am going to take care of your cars. Tell me how to turn off the lights.”
This Friday, police officers approached the dealership. “We spoke very well and they understood it. I made them listen to some audios, because they hold on to a contract that they make to everyone. “They use the modus operandi that they did to me.”
“If you accept his car or whatever, you sign that you are going to stay silent and this is not going to come to light,” Usandivaras said. “They asked me to cancel my contract by email, and I have a face, but I'm not. There is no chance that he will sign the discharge. Give me the money back through the window and I'll leave,” he warned.
The dealer's release
The
company Automotores Sentire SA,
to which Usandivaras makes the claim, assured through a statement that they were victims of “a dirty war” carried out with the objective of “extorting” the firm and making it “stop functioning.” .
“This notice is to notify that Automotores Sentire SA has no links with any other commercial or legal firm, since the only headquarters we have is in our commercial file,” the text says.
The statement from the dealership written down by the man who demands that his truck be delivered.
Then, he points out: “We publicly denounce that false, ill-intentioned media and websites have emerged that try to wage a dirty war on us, to extort money and stop us from functioning. We want to express our deepest sense of belonging, to guarantee our Sentire community that we do the maximum and the best to guarantee each of its operations.”
The company assured that "there are web pages that contain falsehoods, insults and fallacies that are not at all consistent with reality with the sole purpose of extorting small businesses like theirs" and completed its statement with a request: "We ask that you ignore these pages and “ask our entire community for a favor, make the appropriate complaints.”
