excrucuating with a lemon twist Dan Schalk in the last week-Edit Zero stars! Long review but a MUST READ! Was sold a Ford Freestyle with bad transmission off the lot after being as Dan Schalk in the last week-Edit Zero stars! Long review but a MUST READ! Was sold a Ford Freestyle with bad transmission off the lot after being assured the noise was nothing to worry about. Salesman said "its like a truck, the CVT trans are a bit loud - We sell great cars never any complaints" - Come to find out later this was his FIRST sale! This was only 11 days ago. Florida has no lemon laws. The car has only 78,000 mi. Days ago I looked into the "helicopter" noise in P and N after parking next to the SAME car and not hearing the noise from that car! I asked the owner about it and was sadly informed MY trans is on it's way out! NO WAY? I went home VERY CONCERNED and looked on the internet about this car. My heart sunk. He was dead right! I WAS LIED TO AT THE DEALER! MISLEAD! ALL OVER THE INTERNET it's a KNOWN issue! I test drove another car different dealer, same noise and the dealer admitted it's the trans but said they never noticed it "sorry pal" - So THEY KNEW most likely for sure as they had my car unsold for 8 months! I have reason to believe I was purposefully mislead so they could FINALLY unload their known LEMON. No disclosure when asked how long the car had been on lot. Never dreamed 8 months! SURELY it had been test driven by many more car savvy folks who asked about the "noise" - They DID NOT want me to take it to my mech (excuses) but he was not at all familiar with the CVT trans anyway and agreed that IF it was like a Ford truck as the sales guy had stated it's not a huge issue, he can fix it. Newsflash! NOT TRUCK LIKE AT ALL! NEXT LEMON, INC surely knew the trans was going. Someone did. If not everyone. Car is in good shape minus the trans but is worth only 5800 KBB running. After repair/replacement we will be into this car for over $11G's! My wife and my family have been torched by this. Deceitful, dishonest, rude and condescending. The salesman was not but he DID mislead us and truly knew NOTHING about the car or the dealer as he had only been there ONE day! We should have walked 100 times but we looked at each other and said "Can this be? If they are THIS rude and STILL have business then they MUST be doing something right? I understand that as is is just that "as is" - But I can now pick apart the lies and deceit we were fed by the bucket. I can tell you why there was no trans prob on the carfax. Hindsight is 20/20. They will BURN you. This car was on the lot so long they HAD to KNOW! Taking car to Ford dealers to get estimates on trans repair. If not acceptable I will demonstrate in front of Next Car, Inc. until I feel satisfied that I've figuratively warned lots of peeps about their dishonest, deceitful tactics. Planning to have news media on this as well! We've had the car for only 11 days and have not drove it much for fear of making it worse. Not even made first payment. This has ruined my families summer. Next Car Knows they ripped us. They are happy to screw you and super proud I'm sure when they pass on their "bad buys" to the citizenry at grossly large profits. Rather than weeding cars out that are OBVIOUSLY on the fritz. They can in fact return their "bad buy" lemons BACK to the auction for FULL refunds if they choose - but they never do. It's passed onto you while you are being looked in the eye and told "We are Family oriented" -"We just want to make people happy" and "We don't haggle because we sell fine cars". Blah blah blah blah... Ask the condescending owner about the vehicle noise and your concern and get told "you can leave if you want... We sell quality cars"... So arrogant his arrogance fooled us. Now this - NEXT LEMON, INC. on BIG lemon pickets. We'll be there EVERY Saturday MINIMUM with our signs, lemon car, crew and kids until we're satisfied you feel the burn we have. To us 11,000 dollars is a TON of money for a 5000 dollar car... That's a lot of loss to endure from a dishonest man. Will NEXT LEMON morally and ethically meet me in the middle somewhere? Maybe I'd change my tune a little.The car has clonked out on us 4 times as well bucking wildly. Not safe AT ALL and was not safe BEFORE we ever drove it! More

Never again!!! I just had the most horrible experience EVER. The sales guy could not have been more rude or condescending and suggested that I don't have enough mon I just had the most horrible experience EVER. The sales guy could not have been more rude or condescending and suggested that I don't have enough money in the bank to buy the car, after assuring him that I do, he began to suggest that if I am so smart about pricing cars maybe I should quit my job and come to work there. NOW, I thought it couldn't get any worse, until his "boss" came over and took a seat. He was even more rude and condescending then the sales guy, now I know where they get it from. We couldn't make a deal on the car and came withing $400 bucks and that's ok, just business. If you are looking to be treated like a piece of dirt and talked down too, this is your place. There are plenty of other options in the immediate area. I suggest you take your business elsewhere More
