After several emails about price, condition and car fax I drove to Philly on a Saturday morning and bought a used Honda Accord from Sloane Honda — I had driven 2hrs for a great deal but you know what they say, if it's too good to be true, IT IS! There were a couple red flags that I could kick myself about but I'll plead being a trusting naive woman as my defense. The worst was they couldn't attach the car fax to email but assured me i could see it when I got there, surprise, surprise, when i got there they could not locate the car fax but would mail it to me and totally assured me the car had never been in an accident and had 2 previous owners, I bought the car anyway because I trusted the sales person who assured me over and over again that this was a safe reliable car. Well, on the drive home I noticed the steering had a gliche, I called the sales person who advised since I lived so far away and he stood behind this car because one of his co-workers drove it and deemed it to be a solid reliable vehicle, I could have my mechanic check it out and if i wasn't happy he would allow me to return the car on Monday. Called him back the next day after my mechanic told me it seemed the car was in a previous accident based on the frame, steering etc etc. Sales person did not return calls or emails, contacted Sales Manager who did call me back 2 days later only to be told they would fix the car but they do not take them back, I explained the sales person advised I could bring the car back and that I suspected the car had been in an accident and that I still didn't have the car fax, if that proved the car was not in an accident I would be willing to bring it in for repair. Needless to say after 7 days I bought my own car fax and this car had not only 1 but 2 accidents, their website clearly stated NO KNOWN ACCIDENTS (which I printed before they removed the car online) funny though the link to the car fax was always "broken" - they are scamming people and false advertising — DO NOT BUY HERE! I even called the VP, Jim Clark, no return phone call, now they are avoiding all my calls — DO NOT BUY FROM SLOANE!!
