I took my entire Income tax check and bought a 1987 Honda Accord from this place. I did buy it as is, but he insured me that the car was in perfect order. OK, dumb on my part, but this is the first time I've ever bought a car from a dealer. I took him to be a up front and honest business. How wrong I was.
I was able to drive the car a troatal of 11 hours after buying. After that, it would not, under no uncertain terms would start. I took it back to him demanding my money whaich he refused.
I paid this business 2450.00 (cash) But, when he wrote out the receipt, he put on it I paid 2000.00. Saying he was looking out for my best interest. How was I to know he was really looking out for himself by pocketing the 450.00? He said he wopuld fix the car even though I bought it as is.
He replaced the radiator, spark plugs. He kept the car for 7 days. When it was returned, the speedometer, and odometer no longer worked. The car took me to work that night, which is 5 min. From where I live and has not ran since.
I bought this car Feb. 25, and was able to drive it a total of 12 hours til now. My father ended up having it towed to his place. When I bought it, the gas tank read full. It now reads empty, meaning that a full tank of gas had ran down INTO the motor, causing it not to run.
I was told that I should thank God that I was not able to start and drive it the way it was, cause in a matter of a short time, the car would of went off like a BOMB.
I have 3 kids, ages 6,5, 3. Now you tell me, did he sell me a highly dangerous car? All I can think about is me and my kids inside that car and it blowing up. Yes, I do Thank God, everyday
