My husband and I went to pick out a used car to buy on a Friday morning. We picked out a used 2005 Toyota Rav 4 for 10,500. Our salesman had one owner, Cliff Blakey work out the financial details and
Come to find out we were 1,000 too much for qualifying he said for the car, therefore he wanted to put us in a 2006 Nissan Maxima. We agreed if the car was a good one, as we had not driven it. The salesman had my husband drive it and approve of it. The financing went thru Chase Bank, and we were pleased.
We then got in the car a few hours later to drive back to Shreveport. Our car started jerking and the transmission was slipping and it actually felt like I got a whip lash from the sudden hard shifting.
We we finally arrived home, the first thing I did was call Cliff Blakey and tell him what the car did on the way home. He said bring it in first thing in the morning to our service dept. And they will check it out.
They gave me a "Loaner" and sent me home to wait. On Monday I called and they said it would be a few days to get the Trans. Filter and Fluid from Nissan. They ended up keeping my car 6 days to do this. On the way home, it did the same thing. I called them back and they said to bring it back in. I told them this time I would take it to Orr Nissan and have them do a 27 point inspection test on it that cost $170. It came back stating I needed over $7,000 worth of repairs on this car that I paid almost $10,000 for. Nissan said that my Maxima needed a new transmission, new motor mounts, struts, belts, and an o ring to fix an engine leak. All these repairs totaled of $7,000. I took the inspection report to Cliff Blakey and asked him why they did not find these problems when they had my car for a week? He said we are just human and make mistakes. Sounds to me like he is looking after his own pocketbook and not caring about his customers. Beware!!!
