    I bought a car from this dealership in June of 2022 and didnt notice the fender was messed up. They also did not disclose the car was in an accident prior to me purchasing it. On October 12, 2023 my car started having issues and I brought it to this dealership and they told me nothing was wrong with it. Since then its been to three different shops where no one can tell me whats wrong with the car, just that I need to get rid of it as soon as possible. I brought it to a fourth shop and have been told I need a new engine in my 3 year old car that has ****** miles. This dealership sold me a lemon

    They told me they was giving me 9000 for my truck. Trade in 5000 down payments and 4000 some change to pay The truck off.. the 4000 They Charged It back to the truck that I was purchasing. So in the end, they only gave me $5000 for my truck. Then they send me a piece of paper through email saying that I signed it agreeing to this which I never seen this piece of paper. I don't even have this piece of paper and the paperwork that they gave me. All the paperwork was electronically signed. All they had to do was hit the button and say I signed something.
