My Review of Car Connections USA:
I purchased a 2004 BMW 545i from Car Connections USA on May 17, 2008 that was advertised as being in good condition. On June 13, 2008 I took the vehicle in for service at my local BMW dealership. While performing the regular service, the technician noticed damage to the sub-frame of the car and other associated parts. The cost of this repair totaled $5,000. After inspecting the car more, the BMW technician recommended that I have a certified body shop look at the vehicle because he believed the car had more substantial frame damage. I immediately notified Jonathon, Operations Manager at Car Connections USA, on June 16, 2008 and he informed me that he would contact the necessary people to resolve the issue. On June 27, 2008 I received an estimate for the additional damages totaling $7,500 and faxed it to Car Connections USA. On June 30, 2008 I was told that I would be given a full refund, then when I showed up to receive the refund on July 7, 2008, it had not been prepared as promised. Then on July 9, 2008 I was told they would exchange my car with an equitable car. Since July 9, 2008 I have contacted Car Connections USA fourteen (14) separate times regarding the exchange and have requested that they provide me a timeline for the exchange three (3) separate times. In addition, I have corresponded with them about thirteen (13) different suitable cars for exchange and only once or twice have they responded. I have sent letters, I have called, I have emailed and I have had attorneys send letters. To this day, they have not acknowledged even one of my requests for a timeline and I have received a pittance of cooperation. Absolutely no progress has been made since I first notified them of the damages on June 16, 2008 and it has become more than evident after 116 days of opportunity to resolve this issue that they have no interest in following through with their promises. While they continue to not take ownership of their negligence and fraud in selling a vehicle without disclosing its substantial frame damage, I have been out of a car for 119 days, have paid thousands of dollars, and continue to spend over $600 per month on a vehicle that I do not have use of. Car Connections USA has proven to be an apathetic business with no regard for customer satisfaction and cannot be trusted to provide a quality product.
