My husband and I purchased a car that we thought was a little overpriced at this rip off dealership. We purchased it because we had been looking for a car like this for a while and this was the only "decent" one we saw. We thought it was decent until we drove it off the lot! Shortly after having the car the air lifters needed serviced and so did the Air Conditioning. The dealer fixed the AC but took it to another rip off shop to supposedly have the air lifters fixed. The air lifters were never fixed by this rip off shop. They oiled them up real good then they went out of business. They said their "work" was under warrantly however the shop closed, owner nowhere to be found therefore we are stuck with a car with bad air lifters. Shortly after this problem we started having problems with the shell gear mount. We called Friendly Finance and they told us too bad. The car was purchased as is..which is against the law in Florida. Some guarantee had to be offered. We will be pursuing that more legally with this company. Anyway the shell gear mount cost us $1100 to fix out of our own pocket. Shortly after that we had oil leaks, transmission fluid leaks, radiator leaks and eventually the motor blew costing us another $3,000 to fix.
DO NOT SHOP AT FRIENDLY FINANCE. EMAIL ME AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT OUR HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

USED means As-Is

Being you bought the car used, as is condition shouldn't you feel lucky they at least fixed the air conditioning. Anywhere you go you can drive of the lot and the car blows up. No one on the world can predict this. Coming from a line of great mechanics, not affiliated with this company, we can never ever predict the future. Or sucks but that is life. They tried as your state and fixed what they didn't have to fix. That said a lot for this Company. That's more than I would expect anywhere.

Frivolous Complaint
AUTHOR: Jacob - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, February 06, 2011
First of all, when you buy a used item from a private party, it is an as-is sale EVERYWHERE. Some states like Massachusets offer additional protections, but your claim that "all as-is sales are illegal" is laughable.
Now, your case involves a dealership rather than a private party, so there can be some cases where they do have to give a warranty, but it is certainly not universal. If you bought the car without a warranty, then it is indeed as-is, and instead of calling the dealer a "rip off" you should be filing a complaint against yourself for being stupid enough to buy a used car without having a mechanic look at it.

ALL used cars in FL are "as-is", unless written warranty provided
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)

Under FLORIDA LAW, all used cars are sold on an as-is basis unless a written warranty is provided at time of sale.
To the OP, did you not thoroughly test drive this vehicle BEFORE buying it??
Stupid + Lazy does not = "rip off".

Where is it written it is illegal to sell a car "AS IS" in Florida? I've never heard of this law and would be interested to see where you've come up with this.
