Plattner's Venice Superstore

Our experience from beginning to end was awful. My 19 year old son was out to purchase his first vehicle. He had 2500.00 in hand for a down payment. Plattners sold him a 1998 Cadillac Catera way over B year old son was out to purchase his first vehicle. He had 2500.00 in hand for a down payment. Plattners sold him a 1998 Cadillac Catera way over Blue Book value , and the Radiator cracked two days after driving it. Now, I give Plattners credit in replacing the radiator with little resistance but when we picked it back up at their location a once full gas tank was completely empty and they refused to put enough in to just make it to a gas station. That being said..he was supposed to have had 10.00 in gas put in the vehicle when he bought it which they neglected to do..he also drove away with all of his fluids empty. It is now 4 months out from his purchase and the engine is blown. This is not a case of simply buying a lemon. This dealership knew they were selling him a worthless car and did it with a smile on their faces. I would recommend that if you are looking for a used Vehicle that you head on over to Toyota down the street..they will do you right, as they took this crap car off his hands and put him into something reliable and worth the money. Plattners is lucky we don't stand in front of their establishment with a "Buyer Beware" sign. More
