Business ProfileforSeasell Auto

Bought used 2016 VW Passat from business on 2/15/2024. Went to drive car off lot and battery was dead. Seller had to jump start battery for it to start stating someone left the light on. Tire pressure light came on immediately after driving off lot. Business did replace battery the next day after car continued to show signs of drained battery. After about a week of driving car, check oil light came on. Appointment was made at *************** in ********** on 3/1/2024 where oil was changed and car was found to have an oil leak. At this time, both rear tires were replaced because wire was showing on tires and alignment completed. Within the next week of driving car, lights began to flash on dash(ABS, EPC and power steering lights). Made another appointment at *************** and diagnostics was done on 3/12. Car was found to have a misfire in engine and rapid oil consumption because engine was a knock above threshold and the only way to fix the problem was with a new engine. During this time, I attempted to reach Seasell Auto numerous times with no response. The only response I did receive was a text message on 3/15 stating "*******************. I just received your VM." When I attempted to call seller again, he ignored my call and sent another text stating he was assisting another client or away from his phone and I did not receive a call back. In the meantime I filed a claim with the extended warranty I purchased and as of 3/20 I have heard my claim was denied because this was a "pre-existing condition" because the oil was low when the adjuster went to the shop. The service advisor explained the oil was not low and a sample was taken. I have reached out to the warranty company and have yet to hear back. A used engine will cost $10,000 to replace in this car, which is more than I paid for the car. I have not even made the first payment on the car. It is due on 3/29/2024. During this time I have been without a car and have missed work at times due to not having a way there.
