Platte Valley Auto Sales Dishonest, rip-off, scam artists, junk cars that don't run Honor, Michigan

Platte Valley is shady all the way around - beware if you buy a car from them - take it to your mechanic first - the $8000 Jeep I bought there had so many problems for the first 120 days I was only able to drive it about 5 days out of 120 - the rest of the time it was getting new head gaskets, new (used) transmission, new radiator, new thermostat, etc., etc. - Then when I gave them post-dated checks at their demand in order to pay for these repairs (on a new used car purchased from them) they cashed them all at once without waiting until the date on the check per our agreement. Not to mention, the ad for this jeep included a description of many "extras" that mine did not have. I was considering a lawsuit and at one point, Dave, the owner told me he was going to put my car on the side of the highway with the keys in it and running - that none of these issues were his problem. He also told me I was an "irresponsible car owner." Run fast in the opposite direction from this dealership.
