I inquired about the vehicle and was told there were no known issues with the car. There was a mileage inconsistency on the carfax due to their employee inputting the information wrong. I drove past the lot initially because it looked more akin to a junkyard or mechanics. When I got in the car, I immediately noticed how filthy the car was. I don't expect a used car to be spotless, but this was filthy. The mats had a layer of mud on them. The interior door and handle were black with grime. There was literal bird poop on the passenger side INTERIOR door. The display screen was spottily covered. I noticed the check engine light was on. They insisted they didn't know that. Ran the code, but didn't know what it meant. Called a mechanic who told me it meant the was an issue with the O2 system. I popped the hood. The latch didn't work right. When I did get it open, the drivers side of the hood was completely snapped off. At this point, I told them I'd want a mechanic to look at it. They suggested I take it to a specific mechanic. I went to another mechanic. On my less than 2 mile drive over I noticed the airbag light was also on. The mechanics first question was "you didn't drive THIS car from Michigan, right?" then he told me the car need about $5000 to get it back into shape. The air bag light meant an airbag wasn't functioning properly and could deploy at any time or simply not deploy if needed and made the car unsafe to drive in the current state. A part of the fender interior was missing and the wheel well covers. The car needed new brakes, tires, and rotors in part due to the two frozen pistons (?) causing uneven wear that would continue until overhauled. A swing arm was also going out. Mind you, they had been driving this car as a transport vehicle, which was not disclosed to me until I was there. I returned to the dealership very upset that I had been mislead on this car. I told them what the mechanic had said. They asked which mechanic I went to. When I told them I went to a different mechanic, they seemed perplexed and upset. They stated of course a mechanic will tell you things are wrong. The mechanic showed me the issues. The owner began to tell me how these things are not a big issue. I told her that some of the issues were safety issues, like the air bag. She argued that the car was fine. I told her respectfully, we are gonna have to agree to disagree. She conti ued to try to argue and I asked her if she would refund my deposit due to the car not being in drivable condition. She tried to continue to argue, but I cut her off and told her it was honestly up to her and whether or not she had integrity with her business. The owner agreed to give me a refund on the amount of the deposit. However, she never gave me a refund either. I guess she really need the $100 and has no integrity. Best part, they are still messaging me about buying a car even though I have made it clear I do not want one.
Tldr: they scammed me out of money and offered me an undrivable car. DO NOT VISIT read more
