Our son bought aMazda 3 from him last year, and we were told it was a "Solid Car"
After a couple of weeks, we had to replace all the shocks - one was actually falling apart - $1,000! Put a full 5 quart bottle of oil in the crankcase - it was empty! The lack of oil resulted in a bad valve, and the engine started making a horrible noise. We took it to a reputable repair shop, and were told that " the engine would have to be replaced at a cost of $3,400 - more than the cost of the car.
We had been told that their mechanic checked it out as a "Safety Inspection"! How the mechanic didn't notice there was NO OIL in the motor is mind blowing!!
On contacting Affordable Auto Sales, and told him the car was a lemon, we were told "I'm sorry to hear that. I felt like when I sold it to you back in April that it was a solid car. I also tell my customers that they are all sold as-is and they aren't perfect and I hope that my customers realize that for the price that they pay"
We've been offered $500 for it as a parts car!
All I can say is buyer beware!! read more
