My E *BUYERS BEWARE* It is truly shameful, that businesses are allowed to stay in business with unethical, immoral and simply janky practices. My husband and I are a young, hard working couple with three very young children. Our income is as such, that a car payment or reputable used car dealership isn't an option right now. But we needed reliable transportation. So we decided to buy our first family van from here. For starters, as others have stated...they have staff or dealers pose as potential bidders only to jack prices way up...then because this place is so far from the core of most cities, they figure ppl will be too mentally and emotionally invested in leaving with something. Which is exactly what we did. We bid $1700 on a 2003 Chevy venture and once all psaa fees/taxes, we were out of $2200. So fast forward to next day, yes next...yes next day...I go to start this piece of junk, and it revs up way too high, jolts and starts accelerating on it's own. I mention this to husband and this is the beginning of end. By day two, van starts sputtering and cutting off. This has been a nightmare. Every single day and I do mean everyday...this van has cut off and or completely leaked all coolant. Most recently, it has started smoking so profusely under the hood, we've had no choice but to park it. We have had an exhaust leak fixed, mass air meter replaced, throttle sesnsor adjusted...and to no avail. We also just paid $379 to have all new tires installed after, I was nearly killed during a dangerous blow out on 85 south. Which btw, the van had mix matched tires. We recently learned that the smoking was likely due to a vacuum leak, and had a new hose installed in meantime. But because we found out this morning, that to simplt pin point this problem, it would be $100 an hour plus diagnostic...we have decided to cut our expensive loses. If you value your families safety and your hard earned money...pls stay far, far Far...FAR away from here. You'd be better off saving up money and catching Marta, atleast until you can afford something with a warranty. More
