I'm 19 and I have fairly good credit so I figured I would have an easy time signing up and getting a car right? Right. There were no problems and plenty of dealers, the only problems were picking the car, and I decided I would go with a car I had always wanted, a 2000 Celica.
I found one at Fenway Auto that was a little bit more expensive than some of the others I had seen but I had found the sales staff to be agreeable and easy to talk to so I decided to buy from them. The problems started from here, I immediately got the check engine light after about 100 miles of driving from the dealer ship to my house.in a hurry to get it past inspection and insured, I had my uncle who was a mechanic give it a quick fix and got it past inspection. After about 2 weeks, my suspension was creaking my breaks were going and I called the dealership. I got a series of phone numbers and finally was given Bob's number to have my car serviced.
After several calls, Bob finally gets back to me and tells me to bring the car up on Monday, then decides I should just call him on tuesday to make sure. Tuesday he tells me to call him on Friday and Friday he tells me to call him on Monday. Frustrated, I began just telling him the problems about the car and he goes "look, you bought a used car, you should have expected to put a couple hundred dollars into it". Immediately, I became furious and said "good-bye".
Now I'm $1100 short of a working car which I about a month ago and to him that's something I should have expected. To make a long story short, if you're looking for an overly priced car that needs work, this is the place to go. If not, stay as far away from there as possible.
