    Status:
    Answered
    Bought an 06 **** ** for 6500 back in October, alongside the 3 month warranty they offer in house. Car starts having torque converter issues, I take it back right before the warranty expires and they claim nothing is wrong. Two weeks later I get a detailed report with VCDS logs showing the torque converter is faulty. Long story short, they sold me a car with a bad transmission component and refused to fix it under warranty because "they couldn't get it to replicate the problem". I did drive the car with the tech, however it seemed to be warmed up prior to starting so the issue wasn't prominent as it was only happening on cold mornings. Not only did I pay for a $500 scam warranty, but they also never gave me my title! Instead they gave me a piece of paper to show police that said COVID was producing a delay in title transfer. The cop didn't care and now my car is sitting.

    I purchased a 2015 Mercedes E400 from Highline Imports in November, 2023. After I arrived home that day, I noticed a burnt oil smell. I assumed it was because some oil spilled when their employee changed the oil. However, two months later the smell was still there so I took it to a local German car repair specialist. They told me that the timing cover and camshaft cover were leaking oil onto the exhaust causing the smell and possible fire risk. Their repair estimate was over $4000. I took the car to another German car repair specialist for a second opinion. They had the same diagnosis and estimate. Because the burnt oil smell is very obvious after driving the car and because both German car repair specialists told me the oil leak was obvious when looking at the engine, I must believe that this dealer knew about the problem before they sold me the car.

    The car was thoroughly checked and serviced prior to delivery, and there were no oil leaks. We recommended the Buyer purchase warranty coverage, however he chose to save money and specifically declined any coverage, and purchased the car AS-IS. He never called or communicated any issue with the car, but simply had work done on the car and demanded reimbursement. We are a full service shop, and he could have brought the car in to be check and /or serviced at our expense or at a significant discount. Demanding reimbursement after the fact is absurd.
