Partly my fault for trusting these guys. Should've had my own mechanic look at it first... So yeah, I get that. But I paid $19K for a used car and two days later lights started going off. Engine light, brake light, etc. Took it back in hopes that they would look at it and work something out. I was actually planning on purchasing another car if they'd tried to make this right. I didn't expect them to take the car back, but possibly make the necessary repares. Before I purchased it, the salesman said, "This is a real beauty. Owned by one person, an old woman who barely ever drove it, which is why the miles are so low. Our mechanic gave it a complete workover and it's in great shape." So, I believed them. When I brought the car back and asked them to do a diagnostic test on it, they informed me that they weren't able to do that, because they were a ford dealership and the car I bought was a VW. Which begs the question: How did the mechanic do a full workover on it, if he couldn't check the diagnostics. Anyway, they stonewalled me, and refused to even check out the problems. So, angry, I took it to the VW dealership, where I was informed that both catalytic convertors needed to be replaced, as did the drive shaft, as did the brake pads. This is why car dealers get a bad name... Stay away from Webb Ford.
