I got my first car, a 91 Ford Tempo from Altavista motors im 1999. I paid 6,000 for it. I test drove it and it was fine, I signed all the papers. When i went to go take it off the lot, It wouldnt start!
The dealer had to jump start the car! I should have taken it back but it was my first car, and was basiclly clueless. I got it home, finally, and it wouldnt start again! I called them and they got a tow truck and brought it back to their shop.
During my 30 day warranty, it was in and out of the shop, it would stall out on me at stop lights, wouldnt start in the cold or rain etc... They told me i had to pay half cause most of the repairs were not covered under the Warranty. Well, the car only lasted me about 9 months.
I ended up trading it in for another one of their cars. A 97 Dodge Stratus. I thought it would be better, but its not. They would not cooperate with the repaires. I am paying 8,000 for it and I only had it for 3 months. The ball joints are bad, struts, brakes, you name it.
Chryster fixed it for free... Supposedly. It is still a mess. The whole front end is messed up and they refuse to fix it. I have to pay at least $800 for the repaires. I have then later heard horror stories from other customers. They slap high price tags on cars that are not worth a dime.
