I purchased a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo from Tennesse Auto Sales and specifically delt with a gentleman named Tom. The only vehicle that he said I could get was the Rodeo. He said he would sell me the vehicle for $4000.00 and $500.00 down. So, I thought that was a good deal and I had been referred to him by someone whom I trust and felt comfortable with the arrangement. After I sent my first two hundred dollar payment in he was supposed to have my tags ready. He never did this. Then approximately two weeks after I had the vehicle the heat stopped working and the air conditioning. It was actually the blower motor. During Thanksgiving (which was two weeks later) I took it to be fixed. They changed the oil and replaced the blower motor. The total was $400.00. The next day the heater stopped working again and when I would start my car there was a loud squealing noise and the car had no get up and seemed to slip when I was driving. So, I took the car back to where I had it fixed and they told me that the head gasket was leaking, the alternator was overcharging - causing power surges in my windsheild wipers, blower motor, etc. Also he said that the transmission was going to have to be replaced. I had the car only a little over a month. I was going to take it back to where I bought it but the car would not start so he had to tow it. He did not offer to use the money I had paid him toward another car or refund any of it. He is a deadbeat lying hussler. People that sell cars knowing that there are major problems with them deserve to be put out of business. I intend to make sure that consumers know that this man is dishonest and will sell you anything as long as you are giving him money. He does not care about maintaining his vehicles. So, do not purchase a car from him. Another thing about him that truly disgusted me was that on his business cards he has a picture of Jesus Christ!!??
