I bought a 95 Park Avenue Buick after saving for months because I lost my car in a hit and run. I did not want to go to a side street dealership because I wanted to avoid a lemon. (little did I know). So I went to a reputable dealership, Jow Myers Toyota thinking that a car from a major dealership would be good. After looking at a few, the Park Avenue was decided on, the leather seats were in excellent condition, the floor which was beige was super clean. It had a great body, a little fading near the hood but not bad for a 95 or so I thought, After two weeks I notice it started jerking a little, the third week I called and left a message for the salesman. No return call.
On New Years day on the way home from church the car was jerking so bad I thought we would never make it home after pulling over a couple of times. Talk about embarrassing! So today I called and the receptionist asked who was my salesman and I could not remember his name except he was African American and she said we have several of them (which was true and I understood that) so I called back and told her that his name should be in the computer or my paperwork.
She tranfers me to the finance manager, who says that he can't help me, nor will he fix the car, it's an "AS IS". That it has been two months that I have benn driving the car, actually (1 month and 10 days) I don't have any "As is" paperwork that I signed that was given to me. After looking through my paperwork I found the salesman name Kayode and told him what happened and he said he would speak to his manager and will called me back. TWO hours later he did not call back so I called him, when they transferred my called to him, he picks saying my name and saying he is sorry but his manager said there was nothing they could do that the car is an old car, that it is not new (duh!). I told him you did not say that when I was looking at it, your desciption then was that it was like new, in excellent condition. I'm sorry but it is an old car and it was sold as is.
So now I am stuck with a car I only had for a short amount of time. I am in no position to get it fix right now and I really need a car!
