I purchased a mini van back in March from this person. I was told that the car had no physical damage and was in great working order, boy was that a lie.

I got my car and the day I got my car I started having all these electrical problems with the sliding door and rear lift gate, when I contacted the dealer he said that was not possible he had been driving the car himself and everything was working fine.

A week later the check engine light and the airbag lights go on. The following week the car started smoking due to transmitions problems. I had originally contacted the dealer also regarding the damaged power steering pump, the rack and pinion, the hubbaring, and a number of other things that my long time mechanic said I should have fixed before driving around with my two children.
All this man could ever do was say fax him every receipt and he will not only pay for the parts but pay for half the labor. Needless to say he paid for only some parts and I paid for all the labor.

We have been trying to contact him for the past 5 months and when we finally did reach him (5 months later) all he could say was that it had been too long and thigs were taken care of already.

I am now stuck with a lemon and out about $12,000 for a car that atthe dealer brand new could have only coast $16,000. It would have been well worth it to spend the $4,000 extrat and not deal with this horrible liar.
