When I went to see the vehicle with my family, I asked the salesman if there was anything wrong with the vehicle. He assured me there was NOTHING wrong with the vehicles. He said not to worry any way because they would go through the vehicle before they delivered it and fix anything that was wrong if they found anything. Because of this statement, we did not test drive the vehicle(my mistake).
When my wife picked up the car and drove less than 100 yards, she noticed that the check engine light was on. She didn't turn around because she was running late for work(driving a school bus). As soon as she told me about the check engine light, I contacted the salesman. He strung me on for a couple of weeks (saying things like it probably was humidity built up on the distributor, etc.), then told me to call him on Friday so he would tell me what he was going to do to fix the problems. When I called him, I was told that he was on vacation.
I filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau to address the problems with the vehicle( check engine light, door locks, ac, and the driver's window). To make a long story short, Highline told many lies and the BBB was not helpful. It took me contacting the Attorney General to get them to fix anything.
I had to get my car towed to Highline($175). My car was there for 30 days. They charged the ac, fixed the door locks, the check engine light is not illuminated, and they changed the window motor. When they changed the window motor, they broke the door.
The problem: My wife has driven the car 7 TIMES and only a few hundred miles total. We have had to get the car towed 3 times(costing over $400), twice since Highline said they fixed the car. Highline had my car in their possession for 30 days and broke my door. They told me through the BBB to bring the car back. After avoiding my calls and not returning them when I left messages, I finally reached them and they told me not to bring the car there as they would not fix anything.
Highline never disclosed the true condition of this car when they sold it to me. They refuse to fix it properly and even broke something else when they had possession of my car. They won't do the right thing and fix it properly or give me a full refund.
This is a dealership who will take advantage of the helpless.

They didn't give me a warranty and they lied about the condition of the car. It was the reason that the Attorney General got involved. I know that all used cars will have some issues, I just don't like to be lied to. While viewing the car with my family, I told the salesman about my last and recent car purchase. I bought a similar vehicle that the dealer told me that the only thing wrong with it was the battery. Two months and $3000 later, I sold the car. I told the buyer EVERYTHING that was wrong with the car.
I know that I made a mistake by not having my wife test drive the car. I just want people to know what I experienced with this dealer. He said and did so many unethical things, I thought we were making a movie. Beware, if there is any way this dealership can take advantage of you, they will. I have no reason to say anything but the truth. I will never consider doing business with them again...even if they were giving away free cars. I just know how they truly do business.

Is it your contention that they Ripped you Off ONLY because of your physical afflictions?....or is this just an attempt to garner sympathy for your cause?
How did they know you are a diabetic and do kidney dialysis and are in pain 24/7. See, if you hadn't told them all this, they wouldn't have treated you the way they did...lesson learned...right?
What does your WRITTEN warranty on this vehicle say about who pays for repairs?
You didn't buy it "AS-IS, did you...guess you probably did and that would mean YOU pay for any and all repairs.
You should also face the fact that a 17 year old vehicle WILL have issues.
