Rico, Plus Auto Sales
Ripoff, lied to me on the phone about the compression of the engine and the condition of the car. He failed to inspect the car before offering to sell it to me

Cars & Transport

I responded to an ad on Autotrader.com for a 2000 Honda Civic DX with less than 100,000 miles on it. The car was advertised by Plus Auto Sales of Florida. Rico, the proprietor had assured me on the phone several times that the condition of the engine and the transmission was good and that the engine and good compression and was uniform.in addition, his advertisement said that the air conditioning was real cold.

When I arrived in Miami, I discovered that one of the cylinders had ten pounds less compression than the other cylinders.in addition, the air conditioning was not working and the engine needed engine mounts.

The air and the engine mounts are things that I would have overlooked, but the engine compression is a serious problem and Rico and his Plus Sales failed to inspect the vehicle before trying to sell it to me. As a result, I lossed over $600 on this trip. Even after I had an independant Triple AAA approved mechanic do a compression test, Rico at Plus Sales denied that the compression test was valid and then complained that the car was tied up with my deposit and could have been sold to someone else.

He had the nerve to lie to me and drag me thousands of miles to see a car that was not driveable. The vibration from the engine mounts was serious enough to where I wouldn't have trusted this car for long distances.
