    SHADY SCUM OF THE ****** On March 19th this year I financed a Infiniti Q50 3.7 at SC Motors in Placenta CA. I'm a mechanic and I usually inspect every car buy but in this case, it started pouring rain. It was Sunday I needed a car so I got it. While trying to convince myself not every used dealer is shady. A couple months go by I've saved enough money to start performing maintenance on my new car because I know it's never done. Which was the 1st lie, anyway I can clearly see that this car has overheated in the past just by opening the hood. Whatever OK, I changed the oil and it was as black as night another lie. I changed the Air filters they were dirty not new like the salesman said. Let's just say that I have 3 to 4 pages of things that I have fixed or not right with it, pictures and documentation. Last month I see the bumper is coming off when I begin to install an aftermarket grill. The fender wheel ***** are ripped out and I see machine screws holding things together. I get the grill off and I look inside and see the front crash bar is mangled on the right side. So now I'm super ****** I was able to look past a lot but now I know this was in a bad accident and probably should have been Salvaged. I say this because the driver door doesn't close all the way the top sticks out a bit. I'm noticing crappy white paint come off in the corners of the doors, bumpers and headlights. The key they gave me doesn't even fit the door and that leads me to believe they replaced it. Now that I know this im doing a thorough inspection. I had to add about 6 fuses that were missing. The Spark plugs look original and were barley in the block maybe about a half turn. The drivers side fuse box has two rows of fuses that do not have power going to them. So it's now July that I have found these serious issues. Now I have a very busy work schedule I plan on calling them or taking the car back. Then guess what happens!? My transmission takes a dump, it's about 7k to fix at the dealership. I call the dealer I tell him everything that I have found and that they sold me a car that was in a head on collision. I also tell them that it's not working anymore. They are snarky and start to get defensive, they just keep saying that I should have gotten a warranty. You know what I wanted to buy a warranty but they wouldn't sell me one. My mother Co-signed and she's my witness. There response to the accident was; (Dealer)"we go off of Carfax if it's not on there then we don't know" I know that's ******** asked them if they inspect their cars before they sell them? He said Yes and then I mentioned the 3 pages of Basic maintenance failed components that anybody would have caught if it was inspected. He basically stopped talking and said he can only refer me to a Mechanic!! They won't take any responsibility at all. So now I have a $319.00 car payment for a car that doesn't work and probably has frame damage and still owe the bank a little over 16k. I've already spent hundreds on rental cars and Ubers so I don't loose my job as well. I can't even pay rent this month because of all the excess spending I've done. They don't care about putting people in unsafe cars. Or s******* you over, not to mention it's probably going to put a repo on my mother's perfect credit and my Ok credit. So they sold me a car that clearly was in a massive accident, they buy all their cars from the auction then wash them and sell them. This place is a joke and you guys should be in prison. Do not buy a car from here they are unprofessional and do not care about people or there safety.

    Buyer beware! Came to get a ****** corolla hybrid and trade in a car. First red flag was the car had check engine light on. I was assured it was just the battery needed charging, but now reading other reviews it was most likely a messed up car. They added on 2k for some tracker that a quick ****** search is $75. I was still going to get the car and put $500 down to come back the next day to get it. After talking with my husband we realized all the red flags and went somewhere else. They refused to give me my $500 back and I had to have my credit card company fight them, got my money back a few weeks later. Not returning a car deposit is illegal.
