    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    443 Auto Sales:I am writing regarding the 2014 ***** ***** ******* that you sold. This letter is an attempt to resolve this matter amicably. As you know, I purchased a 2014 Red ***** ***** ******* from you on May 13, 2022. The total purchase price was $21,715.85. I gave you a down payment of $2,000 and financed the rest through *********************** I was also sold the following: an extended warranty of 12 months/12,000 miles with ***** ******************* ($1,666.00); and a 63 months Gap Protection policy by ******* ***************************** (($926).Within the first month of having the ***** *******, the engine blew. I took it back to your dealership and you advised him to go to the ***** Dealership and use his warranty to pay for the needed repair. I followed your instruction and went to the ****************/***** dealership. The dealership informed me that I needed to pay $1,700.00 to tear the engine down to properly assess the problem. I had no choice but to pay the amount. Thereafter, I, he was advised that to repair the engine, it would cost $6,800.00 and to replace the engine, it would cost $7,000.00. The dealership recommended he replace the engine. I was further informed that due to the engine problems, the catalytic converter had been destroyed and there was fluid/anti-freeze running into the engine. Solely repairing the catalytic converter alone would cost another $2,500.00. Notwithstanding all these significant and costly charges and serious damages, ***** only offered to pay Me $1,300.00 toward the engine repair. However, I would be looking at over $11,000.00 off the bat to try and bring this defective vehicle into some semblance of functionality. Your sale of this defective vehicle tome calls into question whether your business practices are reasonable and fair. As I'm sure you're aware, unfair, unreasonable, and deceptive business practices are in violation of the Pennsylvania  Unfair Trade practices, and Consumer Protection Law.

    Accused us of trying to steal his junk car that wasn’t even for sale . Do not recommend this place to anyone. Don’t even go in his property and looks at cars because the rude ignorant grumpy old man is going to accuse you of trying to steal his cars. On top of all you are a lier. You never did told us not to approach the vehicles in no field. I have cameras in my vehicle that recorded every single move and every single word that we spoke. You walk away from us fine. Then my son went to look at the back of the car you came back and accused us of wanting to steal your junk car that you said yourself was going to a junk yard. We explained to you that my son is an old car Enthusiastic and it fought his attention the old car. Obviously from the road you can’t see the NOT FOR SALE sing in the windshield. So we are all came in to look at it. You kept disrespecting us by accusing us of coming back to steal your car and told us we shouldn’t go look at cars to go look at them online. Like I said I have full recordings of the conversations. I’m not worried about a buy here pay here dealer anyways…
