Their description of a 1994 Buick Roadmaster Wagon was "NO ISSUES"
***********************************************************************
I would understand that to mean that the main parts of the car were working. Boy, was I wrong !
This was a GROSS MISREPRESENTATION or Lie if you prefer. Pieces of the rusty frame actually fell off when the car was put on a lift. Yes ! That's right, they sold me a car that had very badly rusted rear subframe members, so rusty that pieces of the frame crumbled off like crackers !
The heater and defroster did not work.
The car had totally bald tires, no spare and no jack.
Should I have driven it back from PA to NC across Wilkes Barre mountain in a snowstorm ? Probably not. But by the Grace of God I made it to Maryland where the starter failed and I had to spend the night in a motel. $250 later and back on the road.
So far I've spent around $5,000 on this car including completely overhauled new brake system, including calipers and drums, not just pads, shoes. Some of the brake components actually fell apart when being serviced.
Transmission leaking and throwing hot ATF on the exhaust. Trans had to be removed and repaired. Blower fan inoperative, had to be replaced. AC Compressor is inoperative, requires around $1,200 overhaul.
There is extensive rust on the car body, tailgate, door jambs, completely rusted through inner fenders.
The original dual exhaust system had been badly repaired previously and was crumbly and rusty. $800
The administrative assistant was very nice and tried to be helpful but unaware of the "junk-yard" quality of this particular vehicle. She was told to pressure me to "give them positive feedback" on the premises before I had even begun to discover the defects of this car.
They made several empty promises on the phone which were never kept.
This is a wholesale operation that sells cars picked up super-cheap from dealers, cars that no reputable auto dealer would attempt to retail.
LIVE AND LEARN.
