My Review of Deano's:
I found Deano's on Autotrader. When I arrived at Deano's, he was friendly and trusting. He didn't even ask me for my license before I test drove a Honda Accord that I was interested in. The Accord was on sale for $4,300. After test driving the car, I asked for a car fax. He said he didn't like car fax because it was incorrect most of the time. This was the first red flag that I should have heeded. After getting my own car fax that cost me money, I saw that the car had been in two accidents and that at 125,000 miles, the car had not recieved a new timing belt and water pump that every Accord needs around 100,000 miles. Seeing that the car had been in two accidents, I decided to have a mechanic take a look at the car. Before bringing the car to a mechanic, Deano had told me he would repair whatever needed to be repaired. In good faith, I trusted that he was telling the truth in that he would pay for any repairs that the car needed. Therefore I brought the car to a mechanic which was another expense for me, and I found out that the car needed more than $1000.00 worth of repairs. I brought the car back to Deano with a list of repairs, and he told me that he would get back to me the following Monday with news. Needless to say, he never called me. I checked back on Autotrader and he knocked the price down only three hundred dollars!! I called him immediately and he proceeded to tell me that he would not fix the car that I had checked out. He said that "the car didn't need the repairs," when in fact, he simply did not want to deal with the repairs because he would not make as much money. My mechanic said that the car definitely needed the repairs and instructed me not to buy the car unless the repairs were paid for by the dealer. Consequently, I wasted my time and money on this lying scumbag dealer. Currently, he is waiting for some naive consumer to come along and overpay for the junk he is trying to sell. I'm happy there is a website that offers dealer reviews so somebody out there knows about this guy.

My Review of Deano's:
Deano's Auto Sales have been in their location for as long as I can remember. I have never stopped in there because I haven't been in the market for a vehicle for a long time. Recently, I did stop in for the very first time because I am in the market to buy a pre-owned Ford van. They had one on display, which is what caught my eye. As I was looking at the van, sales employee "Joann" came out and introduced herself. She answered all my questions, and asked if I wanted to take a test drive in the van that they had on their lot. Because I had an appointment, I said I would call her back and schedule a test drive with her. I also said that I wanted to do some on-line research into the engine that was in the van prior to doing a test drive. That was Sunday of the week. The next day, Monday, I called "Joann" and scheduled a test drive for Thursday of that week, with my wife. She said fine, and she also said that if someone else was interested in buying that van between the time we were talking, (Monday) and Thursday when I made the appointment to do the test drive, that she would call me and give me "first dibb's" on the sale. That Wednesday, she called my house to make sure everything was still "on" for the next day and the test drive. I called her back and said "yes". My wife and I took a 20 mile test drive on that Thursday. To make a long story short, even though I liked the Ford van, we did not buy the vehicle because it had a very large, powerful 10 cylinder engine that I just did not need for my every day activities. But, if the vehicle would have been "right" for me, I would have bought it from "Joann" and that dealership. And the price on the van was very fair. I would highly recommend that if you were in the market for a pre-owned vehicle, that you check out this dealership.
