I purchased a vehicle from this dealer on 12/4/2010 and was told the vehicle was in good condition. The day after purchasing vehicle I began to have several problems with the vehicle from brakes squealing real bad to loud popping noises in the front wheels. I approached the dealer about the issues that I was having and was basically brushed off. He walked outside and made a call on his cellphone, returned 10 minutes later and said "My mechanic said that it is probably just the type of brakes that is on the vehicle." Told me there was nothing wrong with the car. After being treated this way I decided to take the vehicle and have it inspected by a mechanic. The mechanic did a thorough inspection of the vehicle and told me the car was no good. He told me that you need to return it the dealer. The mechanic explained that the transmission is slipping and due to fail at any time, the brakes are no good on the vehicle, the ball joints are subject to go out any time, the axle is cracked real bad, the steering is bad on the vehicle when turning. The vehicle burns excessive amounts of gas (possible gas leak, smell vapors in car sometimes. I took the report to the dealer to speak with him about the car and was told there was nothing wrong with the car. Was threatened by dealer and told to leave.

This guy is charging high financing on vehicles that are lemons and I feel something needs to be done about him. He is taking advantage of people. After research on this guy, I found out that he has history of complaints filed against him for the same thing that happened to me.

Cart before the horse, eh?

Gee! You don't suppose it would have been more productive to have the (or any) mechanic inspect the vehicle BEFORE the purchase was made?

Just a random thought...........

"After being treated this way I decided to take the vehicle and have it inspected by a mechanic . The mechanic did a thorough inspection of the vehicle and told me the car was no good."

If you don't want this to happen every time you buy a used car, you've got to change the way you go about it. The logical time to take the car to a mechanic for an inspection is BEFORE you sign the purchase contract.Most used cars are sold "as is" and you sign a paper to that effect, so if you're not going to bother checking it out before you buy, you're just rolling the dice with your money.

"I feel something needs to be done about him."

As long as people are willing to buy without doing any homework, there will be used car dealers like this waiting to take their money. It is a sleazy segment of the industry that would not exist if folks would do their due dilligence before signing.
