Don't Buy A Car From These Crooks!
There needs to be a "zero star" choice. I was looking to buy a used Ford F-150 truck, and Double R Cars had a nice one on their website. The truck was clean and only had about 82,000 miles on it. Issac sent me many pics of this truck and we negotiated a deal over the phone. I got the truck late on a Friday and drove it to work on Monday morning. I noticed right away that there is a hard shift (automatic transmission) from third to fourth gear. Did their mechanic drive the truck? did Isaac drive the truck? This is a huge and expensive red flag. This truck came from an auto auction, so I'm guessing that they couldn't drive the truck before they bought it. The odds are that the transmission needs to be rebuilt. Goodbye to at least $3,000. On the way home from work the check engine light came on. Yes, I'm an idiot for buying this truck without driving it and trusting these "Yes, my friend" used car salesmen. The check engine light is for an emissions problem on the passenger side. This means a catalytic converter. $1,000 to $8,000 depending on your vehicle. Hypothetically, If the truck was checked out by their mechanic, he would use a OBDII computer to check the different systems of the vehicle. If the truck had a check engine light for an emissions fault, it would be simple for a mechanic to delete this check engine light (hypothetically.)
I texted Issac about this and I got no response. So, now I'm stuck with this truck and putting maybe, $5000 on my credit card to get it fixed (until the next check engine light comes on.) read more
