I bought a car (2014 Chevy Cruze) through an auction and it's up to the seller to provide accurate information on the vehicle. Everything seemed up to date and they are required to show the vehicle driving in a video. Besides the broken bumper and cosmetic damage. I didn't think it was a bad car.
After winning the bid and contacting the seller, David Miller, to set up a pick up date. He told me the vehicle was running "hot" when they drove it to get it registered. I asked if the a/c was broken and didn't understand what he was saying because it was very vague. I told him I was coming from 5 hours away. He said he recommended getting it towed. That's all he said. What the hell??
After bringing my family of 5 to Lubbock to pick up this over heating vehicle. David Miller was nowhere to be found. How convenient. Instead a lady who could barely give me any eye contact made me sign 10 pieces of paper saying I wouldn't sue them in court plus the title stuff and this is without actually even seeing the vehicle first. Obviously something was amiss.
We realized it was a lot worse than they said when she finally took us to it. It wouldn't even start, and when we jumped it, smoke was coming out of the engine immediately. We could barely load it up onto our trailer without worrying if it would blow up.
After getting it to my local auto shop, the bad news came, which I figured with the treatment I received. The whole gasket blew up, very recently too which cracked the engine because somebody kept driving it. So I'm not sure if I actually bought a decent car and they messed it up the three weeks they had it, or if I just got totally screwed from the get go. Obviously I signed a contract that I wouldn't sue them (which I take full responsibility for, I should've waited to do the paperwork before I got to the vehicle). I have sent two e-mails asking for any options I might have and have yet to receive a response back. Duh to me.
All in all, DO NOT PURCHASE A VEHICLE HERE. They are the perfect example of an untrustworthy, money grubbing, very shady car dealership that does not care about hard working Americans trying to get by. There's $5,000 that I will never get back. I hope they can sleep at night knowing they steal from their customers. read more
