A couple of years ago I bought a car from falcor but not without lots of trouble. I went in one evening and saw a vehicle I liked, which I checked out a few days before, and decideded to make an offer. They listed price was $9,000 . I offered $6,000 CASH and my offer was accepted....with one exception....I would NOT get a 30 day warranty. The car seemed great and the salesman trustworthy, I know I know, so I agreed. Within the first day of having the vehicle home I realized something was terribly wrong. I was shocked and felt tricked.
Upon looking into the laws regarding the sale of used cars in Mass I found out it was against the law to not included a warrenty. The law states the warranty cannot be forfeited for any reason. After printing out a copy of the law, one for me and the gentleman at falcor, and speaking with the attorney generals office I went back to falcor. I asked the employee who sold me the car if he was aware of the laws regarding his business, he answered yes. I asked him if he was still refusing to give me a warrant....he didn't answer but asked if I wanted a warrenty. I told him I wasn't asking for one but if he knew it what he was doing was against the law. He prompty went into the back and came out with a warranty for me.
Then they had their mechanic do an inspection and found nothing wrong. Since there obviously was a problem I spent I think $50 at AAMCCO for an inspection the next day and within a 5 min test drive they found a serious problem with misfiring spark plugs. I took it back to falcor with the documentation from AAMCCO and they very reluctantly fixed it (although they didn't provide the old parts which I requested).
The most shocking part was the gentleman who initially accepted my offer, who works there with his son, accused me of being dishonest, told me I wasn't a man of my word for breaking the deal. Explaining to him that what he proposed was illegal in no way, shape or form changed his opinion of me. He stormed into the back, I wished his son the best and left.
Overall I am happy with the car, I've had it for a few yrs, but the service at Falcor was horrendous. ALSO....DO NOT let them inspect a newly purchased car for you. Do it yourself. It's a pain in the butt however you'll have peace of mind knowing it was inspected by a impartial party. read more
