Barry Racan had a 2004 Red Turbo PT Cruiser for sale. He was asking $5200 for it, we offered him $4700 and he accepted. We found out that the car was actually owned by World Class Auto and had been reposessed when we went to do the purchasing paperwork.  Barry Racan stated that World Class Auto had put about $5000 worth of work into the car and that there was absolutely NOTHING that needed to be done for it.

He also stated that it had just been inspected but we would need to pickup the inspection sticker at their shop on S. Irving in Sharon (not actually their shop!).  I asked him repeatedly if the car needed ANY work at all and was repeatedly told "no" by Barry. When we went to pay him, he now demanded $4799 and when we objected, he said that the price was always ...99 when purchasing from an auto dealer.  My mother really liked the car, so we paid the $4799 despite that not being what we had agreed to. 

On Monday, I took the car to the shop on S. Irving to get the inspection sticker.....all the warning lights came on briefly when I drove it the one mile to the shop. The mechanic, John McKenzie, said there was nothing wrong with the car.  Also told me he rented the garage from Wold Class Auto and they were not affiliated.  I was not happy, but the mechanic assured me there was nothing wrong with the car. 

ON the 254 mile drive home to West Virginia, the car overheated and I had to have it towed home. My mechanic in West Virginia found a ton of issues with the car...said it was not safe to drive and had a lot of pre-existing issues.  I had two other mechanics look at the car (not affiliated) and they confirmed.  1) The car should NOT have passed inspection. 2) The issues were pre-existing when I purchased the car. 

It required $1193.26 to repair the car.  

On September 20, 2016 I sent Barry Racan a letter requesting he reimburse us for the repairs $1193.26 or reimbuse us for the repairs and refund our money for the purchase of the car $5992.26 (and we would give the car back). HE did not respond. 

Complaint has been filed with the PA Attorney General.

As Is

 You can complain to anybody you wish but the FACT is YOU were given and signed a disclosure sheet which told you the sale was either "AS IS" or included a warranty. If the sale was AS IS. then you have no case. That's why a smart consumer takes the car for s test drive BEFORE buying it and has their own mechanic check it out BEFORE buying it!
