BUYERS BEWARE!! I purchased a vehicle from Exceed Auto Brokers Inc. in Lighthouse Point,FL. It was advertised through Facebook Market Place as "In very good running condition, ready to go". Before purchasing the vehicle, I inspected it with the assistance of Marcelo. I identified two issues that I accepted before completing the purchase, I was told the car was in very good condition. During my test drive, NO warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard, and I relied on those representations when deciding to purchase the vehicle. It is extremely concerning that the vehicle showed no warning lights during the dealer's presentation and test drive, yet numerous fault codes and serious problems appeared only approximately two days later indicating numerous mechanical problems that subsequently appeared and a diagnostic examination revealed numerous costly mechanical problems. I have already spent approximately $5,400 and the vehicle still requires additional repairs.
This raises a legitimate concern that the diagnostic fault codes may have been cleared before the vehicle was shown to me, temporarily preventing the warning lights from appearing.
There was also a serious and potentially life-threatening braking failure. While driving on a busy roadway, I applied the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor, causing me to lose control and nearly have an accident. One more time, the estimated cost for this repair alone exceeded $3,400.00. My mechanic subsequently diagnosed the braking system as defective and advised that they be replaced immediately and that I do not drive the vehicle for my safety.
I notified Exceed Auto Brokers, The dealer refused to pay for the replacement and instead stated that a refurbished part had been installed.
I repeatedly requested documentation proving that this repair was actually performed, including an invoice, work order, or part information?. The dealer never provided proof and stopped responding to my calls.
This leaves me with a serious unresolved safety concern. Absolutely nothing in this car I bought from this business works, not even the key to start this car. I even had to replace it after a week because it died flat! really?.
It is a good business for them to buy a car in auction for nothing and resale it to you without performing ANY inspection, correction or repair whatsoever. read more
