I was in need of a work van a.S.A. P I do not have the best credit so I had to go there for a buy here pay here. I found the van on the internet.
Well it was dark when I picked the van up I just took there word for it and away I went with the vehicle. 1991 Ford e350 128,000 miles $3995 plus tax and finance fees around 5000 total.
When I got home front tires very bad, servere oil leak about 2qrts a week, steering very scary and something major was wrong. I was just going to deal with this pile because the place is 2 hours away and those guys dont have a clue anyway. They sold me this van with a 4.9 V6 in it well it has a 351 windsor so you have some clue what these guys know.
Around a month and a half after I got the van every morning battery was dead so I bought a 80 dollar battery next morning that battery dead, went had the charging system checked bad voltage regulater.
I bout a new one and when I took the old one 2 wires where broke off it, I fixed it and then vehicle would not start, no fuel and no spark. Items that where replaced TFI module$40, fuel relay$30, housing under cap$50, computer $300 plus 2hour drive.
ALl this and no go finally took to shop had some broken wires $250.
I emailed auto junction would not get back to me for like 2 weeks keep in mind this vehicle was off the road for 3 weeks during this, this vehicle is how I provide for my family. Then they got back to me and said the would send a tow truck to get it and fix it but it was already fixed.
I told them I have a buget to pay bills that there was no way I was going to be able to make Nov. Payment. I told them even if they could add to end of loan they said nope sorry I said I am sorry I cant afford it.
Was running alright thought maybe I would keep it untill 1 morning would not start turn key and nothing jump the solenoid nothing I had to run a jumper cable from power of battery to the other side of inertia switch for fuel power and jump the solenoid.
Well after payment was 2and half weeks late they came and repo'd with no notice had to chase the tow truck down I had $10,000 worth tools in it. Thanks for listening.
