Dear Michael, We allow you to take any vehicle of interest to a shop of your choice for pre purchase inspection, it states this on the very first page of our website! You purchased a wholesale vehicle at just over $3000 dollars that has a retail value of close to $5000 dollars! We offered you to use a local shop we use to have any repairs needed at our discount for parts and labor! This quote saved you well over $1000 dollars from the shop you initially brought it to! The car was mechanically sound and needed roughly about $800 dollars of work which would still put you way under book value for that vehicle. I am sorry you feel the way you do but we do everything we can to protect you and your investment for at least the first 3 to 6 months of ownership by giving you a full warranty on all major drivetrain and powertrain components. And at no charge to you! On either consignments, or trade-ins we don't always go through vehicles and we just price them at wholesale pricing to pass the savings on. If we were only concerned about the money A we would not give you the complimentary warranties, and B we would make them all retail ready including the prices we sell them for! Again i apologize if saving you over $1000 dollars was not satisfactory to you. I wish you all the best and thank you for your purchase!

Of course you produce a pile of verbiage. The car has a rusted floorboard and mount, brake lines, and fuel line. Its serpentine belt is also damaged. I have been to 2 reputable mechanics, unlike the guy at D &L auto, who wouldn't even put in writing what he told me about the rusted through frame - he "didn’t want to get between us." The first mechanic i talked to gave me a detailed quote for $3500 which he said might be higher based on what else he might find. The other mechanic strongly advised me not to fix it - told me to get rid of it. So - if it was such a good deal, I will sell it back to you. I paid $3600. It's yours for 3k. You want to put your money where your mouth is?

O - I paid for that warranty! You "gave" me nothing. And that's what the warranty covered - nothing! You told me it was a Florida car, called it "bulletproof". Trusting you was the biggest mistake of my adult life. You screwed me, plain and simple, and have done nothing except throw around a bunch of lies since. I shouldn't have been allowed to drive that car off the lot! The brakes failed almost immediately. If i had hit somebody, you would have been liable.
