suffield motors Dan sold unsafe car frame is rusting away Suffield, Ohio

I retract my statement, and Dan @ Suffield Motors, does take care of his customers, and did the right thing for my sister and brother-in-law.  

They are very happy with their new car! Thanks, Dan!

happy with new car. thanks dan you do take care of your customers!

To look at this car you wouldn't think it was a bad car for $1400,and at 76,000 we thought it was a good deal as husband had one for 5 yrs and drove it to almost every corner of the state for work. But as I stated before when the frame is damaged in any way the structural integrity of the car is compromised whether the car is 24 , or 4, and its worthless. The frame on this car has not been good in a long while.

Didn't you need to inspect the car upon taking possession of it? Or is that not required where you are. As for the dealer, come on, rust so bad that it compromises a car's structural integrity doesn't happen overnight from one lousy winter. It had to have already been that bad when you sold it. Do dealers enjoy dealing with aftermath situations like this so much, that they all have a reputation for doing things like this? You definitely had a couple of real live ones to be able to unload a 1987 Aries for $1400, and you took full advantage. Now go to church on Sunday and sing all those beautiful hymns and shake hands with everyone afterward. Real nice thing to do.

First, I am the third party person (with Internet savvy) you referenced, but I did not post this rip-off report. The owners of the vehicle did all by themselves. I was waiting for all the facts, before making any statements.  In addition, you told me that you had done more for these $1,400.00 customers than you or any other car dealer would do for anyone else (WOW! BUYER BEWARE), and you were the good guy. Originally, I had actually believed that you sold this unsafe (front frame is almost completely rusted away) vehicle unknowingly, however, now all of a sudden there is an safety inspection report for this vehicle! I only have one question, why did you not give the buyers the safety inspection report when they purchased this vehicle? In addition, why did it take all this to get you to acknowledge there was a safety inspection done, as your initial response to the buyers, was you had never looked underneath the vehicle. Before posting a comment, referencing someone, make sure they are who posted the messages originally first, and you do not need Internet savvy to do this.

-". Was told by mechanic that car can not be fixed, frame is rusting away"

That's a pretty big deal.  

Bet the caravan will need a transmission also, among other things.

SAD...

Let me get this straight: you paid $1400 for a 1987 Dodge Aries.  That's right.  A 1987 Dodge Aries.  On top of being 24 years old, it's also one of the cheapest, worst-built, least-reliable cars ever produced.  I am pretty sure it would not have been worth $1400 even if it was 10 years younger.  And you are concerned -- of all things -- about a rusty frame?  I am pretty sure the rest of the car will fall apart before the frame does.  Next time, I would avoid cars that are 24 years old, if possible.  For $3000 or so, you can get a much newer car that will cost significantly less in the long run.

The frame on this car was not damaged by potholes but by RUST which was caused by more than one Ohio winter. The third party you refer to is co-signer on the loan for this car so I do have an interest.     I'm sorry I didn't mention the offer of the grand caravan. I feel we should have the right to refuse the car no matter the reason if we did not want that type of vehicle.

The owner of this automobile has had this car nearly 6 months through rough Ohio winters. The consumer verbally told me that he had hit a pot-holes and the roads were rough and thought the vehicle was out of alignment because of it. The said car was a 1987 Dodge Aries for $1400.  The other facts everyone should know is that we help our customers. We asked the customer to pay tax, title, license and applicable fees for the new car and they refused and became angry on the phone.  We do send our cars out to be safety inspected and the person posting this is not the actual purchaser but a third party who is taunting us by their savvy internet skills. We would like to help all of our customers, but having a vehicle 6 months and then not willing to help with fees on a car purchase that is 8 years newer with less miles is not our fault. Another fact left out of this slandering comment is the fact that we offered them a vehicle for even trade but they refused it due to the fact that a relative had one and circumstances didn't allow emotions to own one. Come on folks, we aren't hard to get along with.

You got FRAMED!

RIPOFF STAY AWAY!!!

I forgot to mention we still owe the bank money on this car
