On November 23rd I gave the owner Shane Ramont a good faith Cashiers check for $4000 toward the down payment on a Land Rover Discovery. Shane Ramont stressed that he would never sell a car that was unsafe; and that in his entire career he had never once sold an unsafe car, (he showed me a picture of his 5 kids and his 7 luxury sports cars saying that he was a strong family man, well respected business leader, and very involved in he church of god, he went on about his religious practices.) I bought his story and said I would take the car, bring it over to their mechanic Chucks Garage and see what was wrong. I was told by Chucks that the car needed $1100 of repairs and it would be fine from there on out. Continue reading
Well I believed that used car sales man Shane Ramont and his side kick Jim Dagley and I took that car with an additional promissory note of $1800.00. The car was referred to Chucks Garage in Lansing, who then worked on the car for 3 weeks and charges me an additional $1150.93,3 weeks of rental car rates. I then get my new used car and drive it for the first time. Told by all that the car was SAFE and I could drive to NY if I wanted. Well low and behold I drove the car to Williamsburg, a good 10 miles away, the car started smoking, every idiot light went on, the car started dragging to the right almost as if I had on the brakes. I was so scared I exited at Okemos Road in Michigan and drove staring over to Woods Marathon of Okemos. Where the mechanic took one look and said that this car is not safe to drive, This car should have never left Chucks Garage, this car should have never been sold to you from The Best Car Company. You need to call them right away and ask for your money back. I told them that I had tried and they had said, too bad the car was sold to you as is. Oh my, I was stuck I needed to drive to work, I needed a car that was safe.
I then said what do I really need to do? Woods said that you need new ABS Brakes, Brake Fluid, new computer, new water pump, new water pump hose, oil leak, oil leaking on engine, new front and rear wheel bearings, new track rod and drag link, Rod Assy, Drag and Spind and a 4 wheel alignment. New motor for wind shield wiper it was snowing and I had no working wipers! My 10 year old car now was costing 10.950.00!! And it still needed work.
Needless to say I got a lemon. I called Best Car Company for 60 straight days and was told by slime ball Jim Dagley that they would not return the car nor refund me; that the car was as is!
The Owner Shane finally called me 3 months later and said sorry, I have been out with Chemo for the past year on and off, I never said I would not sell you a safe car" No wonder GOD has punished him with Cancer, He is evil! Please do not EVER buy a car or truck from BEST CAR COMPANY! Needless to say. I ended up trading the car in for a new car from a reputable Land Rover Dealership.
