Lowe Toyota of Warner Robins

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM LOWE TOYOTA - ON S. HOUSTON LAKE RD. My husband and I went in to look at the 1997 Geo Prism that they are trying to sell for 4,800 with taxes. It looks and sounds like a great little RD. My husband and I went in to look at the 1997 Geo Prism that they are trying to sell for 4,800 with taxes. It looks and sounds like a great little car, but being smart used car buyers we took the car to a mechanic in town(Precision Tune Auto Care on Watson) who told us that the car, which was supposedly checked by the Lowe Toyota people, needs at least $$$$$$2,500 worth of work before it would be a good car to buy!!!!!!!!! Let me say what specifically: it needs new front and rear brakes(costs: $300+), two new belts - one of which has a rip down the middle, (how can you miss that?)(costs: $130 for both), it has three leaks - in order to fix just one of them the whole transmission needs to be taken out(costs: ~$1000 just for the one leak and plus whatever the other two cost to fix) and there are a few more things that add up to around $1000 more for a total of $2500...I don't have the specifics on the rest because the people at Lowe Toyota took the list from me. After hearing all this I went back to Lowe Toyota and told them what he had said. I offered them $1500 for the car to make up for the major repair work costs and if that wouldn't work I said I would be willing to wait for them to fix the problems and when they were fixed I would pay the full price they were asking...The sales person talked to her manager, the manager then came over to me and said that their mechanics looked at the car and spent $300 to "fix it up" and that the brakes were "perfectly fine" (the mechanic who had nothing to gain has said the front and rear brakes need replacement) He also said that we shouldn't expect any better from a used car...that these "minor" repairs are part of buying a car used....he also said that they would sell me the car for the full price or not at all(which, with repairs would cost me $6500.....the NADA and Kelley Blue book price is around $4000 - $3000 for the base price and around $1000 for the mileage being at 62,950 and that is only if the car is in excellent retail condition which it is obviously not)...I told him: of course you would say that the brakes are fine because you want to make money off of this sale, the mechanic I took the car to told me what was wrong with the car with no expectation that I would be paying him to fix it...I think he is a little more trustworthy.... secondly, if this is the condition a used car should be in according to you, I don't ever want to buy a car from Lowe Toyota and I will make sure that I let everyone else know what kind of business you are running here...and I really hope that nobody buys this car from you because it is a rip-off....and do you know what he said to me, he said: "That is your opinion"... Ha!!!! Well, it may be my opinion now, but it could also end up being all of Warner Robins opinion as well when I am done with this...oh btw..in case anyone from Lowe Toyota is reading this...my husband is in the military and he is going to go to the legal office on base and he is going to blacklist Lowe Toyota :D...So good luck selling to anyone who reads this or hears about it from friends...I know I will be spreading the word :D And to all you car shoppers out there...Please DO NOT give them any business and especially avoid the 1997 Geo Prism...I only hope it isn't too late.
