      Answered
      I first bought a car from this dealership a few years ago and had no problems at all. The engine ended up going out on that car in December. I went back to this dealership and they first put me in a car that was not reliable whatsoever. I contacted them once again and asked them what else they had. They informed me of what they had and I decided on the car I now have. It's a 2004 Acura MDX. They told me I would have to put more money down, which I put $800, and the manager stated he would take $1000 off the asking price to help me out. I also asked for my payments to be bi weekly, when I get paid. I recently found out, they did not put the $800 towards my down payment. And, they did not make my due dates what I asked for. I have addressed the due dates previously, but they said once everything is signed, it's set in stone. That's another thing they lied about, they have told me they could be changed. Now, I can't even drive this car and the dealer is not doing anything about like they said they would. I explained to them that by the time I get off work, they are closed. They will need to go to my house and try to figure this out for me since I only live about a mile from the dealership. They have done that in the past. I also told them, since it's not running, and I don't know why, I can't get it to them anyway. I have told them, in a reasonable time frame, other things that have come up, like the check engine light, wipers not working correctly, etc and they just blow me off and tell me they don't know what the problem is. As far as the wipers, they will get stuck on the window, and I was told by the salesman, well it doesn't do it when I turn them on!! Something needs to be done about this place. They are taking advantage of people who just need a car.
