Went there on a Friday, found the car I wanted. Asked to take to mechanic, couldn't get it in till Monday. Left 200.00 deposit. Friday, sales man tells me air conditioner works, no accidents, but to watch out for the mechanic, they like to make list to get your business not because the car is that bad. Thought weird but ok. Monday comes, waited over 40 min to get car to take. He had to go put air in the tires. Love the Mechanic (Planet Auto on Prince, Richard) here is what he found in just 10 min: service engine light on, horn fuse missing: when he put fuse in horn styed on, Air bags not connected and computer to them missing, very low front tire when we got there so that one leaks, the one in back had dry rot from sight you could see how it was falling apart (can't really believe he let me drive this on the freeway with that tire, maybe
I should have checked before we left), no air conditioning at all, tranny took apart and had some sort of sealant on to hide a leak he thinks, back seat not even bolted down, car painted all fenders are not the same, dash is not the same nor will it line up, oil spill in trunk: full of oil under spare tire. I could go on, was told do not buy. Took back and asked for my deposit back I was not taking the car. I could not even register it legally without a horn (state law). I will put horn in it right now he said. Sir the fuse relay is blown you could not put a working horn in there and to be honest it has been in a crash and there is are more problems than we discussed. "NO NO mam the guy at the store you took it to just wants to make money off you, this car is great!" "Sir he told me not to buy it, how will he make money off me if I don't buy it? Also, you know as well as I do know that car is not safe to drive with my daughter and is not even legal in the state of Az at this time without the horn." I walked away since he was still trying to tell me Richard was wrong and trying to make money off me. Don't go there or at your own risk indeed.
Question: Can a dealer sell a car with not air bags, no horn, and seat not even bolted down? read more
