As the commerical says. "friends don't let friends drive junks"

We went there because of the commericial to purchase a used car. Didn't see any new cars either.

We looked at several cars on the lot. The sales man kept telling us that the chevy caviler was the best car on the lot and it would take a temp plate and sticker. My son and I looked it over the best that we could. It started nice and the body was clean and the interior was also clean. The car seemed nice. My son took it out for a test drive and thought it ran well. The sales man kept saying that it was the best car on the lot and it is ready for the state inspection... Ready to drive. He said that he knew this car well.

I paid $1575.00 for the car for my son. They put on the 20 day plate and told us that the paper work should be ready in 2 days. We drove back up in 2 days and the paper work wasn't ready. They said that it would be ready in another couple of days and that the guy that puts the stickers on wasn't there and that he would be there on WED.

This time we called and was told that the paper work was ready.
We drove up there again and was told that the paper work was ready but the guy that does the sticer wasn't there and he would be there on wed. Again. On wed. We drove up there one more time to get the sticker. They put in a plate light and put the sticker on it. We didn't see them do the inspection because they took the care into the back area. I don't know if they put it on the lift to look at the breaks and other things that they are to look for. It took only a couple of minutes to get the sticker on it.

We knew before hand that it shouldn't have a sticker put on it because we had a mechanic look it over just after we purchased it. The plate light needed to be put in. A rubber ring for the exhaust system was missing and the check engine light was on. Our mechanic only did a quick look and said that those things needed to be fixed in order to pass the state inspection. The day that they put on the sticker... We found that the gas tank had a leak that is leaking on to the exhaust system. NOT GOOD!

Today we are bringing it to another mechanic to have it looked over for the state inspection. It already had a sticker and we want the state to know that this car sales place is putting on sticker on cars that can't pass the state inspection.

It was purchased because the sales man said that it was a safe car and ready to drive. This car isn't safe and has a cracked head gasket to boot. It needs a new gas tank. We don't know at this point if there is more that it needs. We will know better after the mechanic goes over the car.

On the lot there was another chevy that the gas lines were rotted through. Another car for $2000. That we looked at wouldn't start but turned over. It blew black smoke out of the tail pipe.??? If our car was the best on the lot, then the rest are total junks.

Their commerical says "Friends don't let friends drive JUNKS"

I say that is all they sell. Junks
