My wife bought a 2001 Daewoo Lanos from Gary Wildman back in Jan. before we met for $1500.00. He neglected to tell her the company went bankrupt and it is impossible to get parts usually taking 3-4 weeks.in Dec. Of 2010 the car was brought to him because the engine was flooding and would not start. He first told me the electrical control unit was bad and it would cost 850.00 to fix, the book value of the car is $890.00. Then 2 weeks later later I find out ECU not bad but 2 sensors and ignition coil are bad, he never told me, finding out through Ted his friend. Three weeks later we p/u car bill is $908.00. We bring car home and does not start next morning. He tows car back and tries to charge my wife another $300.00. We refuse and he gives us the car, I never authorized repair, he agreed. Next morning car won't start again and gas is mixing with oil in the crankcase again. This car is a lemon and I was stupid for trusting her friend Ted who said he was a good mechanic. He was very rude and short to me and my wife as well!
