      On 5/27/22 I went to J&R Auto Sales and found an SUV. It was extremely dirty but after checking for dents and not finding any I didn't think anything of it. I asked the salesperson if there was any damage, he informed me of a small wreck, fully repaired and no other damage. The advertisement on this vehicle claimed 23 to 30 for mileage, it does not get that. The ad also claimed that it seated 5 but there was no seat belt in the middle back seat. This was a very important detail, I have grandchildren I transport all the time and need that. I informed him I needed that seating. I never thought of checking for that middle seat belt after seeing the ad so I purchased it, they rushed through the paperwork, at the time I assumed because they were going to be closing for the day but now I know better. I immediately went to the car wash to wash the car not realizing that what I'd find after were paint chips throughout the entire vehicle. I never thought I'd have to pre wash every car I had to test drive, I took their word on that that there was no other damages. The next business day I called and voiced my concerns only to be told they wouldn't be able to do anything. I told him I was devastated, the whole reason for my purchase was for safe reliable transportation for my grandchildren and that I couldn't transport them now. He didn't want to hear anything I had to say and hung up. After much turmoil about a week later I went to their website to type a review and saw my picture posted on their website and on ******** announcing that I purchased this car and what kind of car it was. I was devastated to say the least. I'm a very private person and never gave them any permission to do that. I don't know what my rights are and I cannot afford an attorney. I had 3 calls to him, 1 dismissed, 1 hung up on me, and the last he said he'd trade it in only at their car lot but that I would only get the trade in value. I couldn't believe they'd treat their customers this way.

      Bought a used car with low miles and was very clean looking. Transmission problems right off the bat and after barely a week of ownership, the transmission died. Dealer will not work at all with me about selling me a piece of junk. They obviously don't even do any kind of inspection before putting cars on the lot as a brakelight as well as a headlight were out. I didn't test drive at night or that would have been a red flag.

      It's very unfortunate that a situation like this takes place we take these types of issues very seriously is our position in all cases it's always a good idea to get the vehicle checked out before your purchase and in all cases we highly recommend the customer purchase an extended warranty which can help in these types of situations as you said a week of ownership
