On 9/22/16 My husband & I purchased a 98 GMC Sierra truck with 168K miles from Phillip Orozco after seeing his ad on craigslist. He told us it had been on the diagnostic & had a repair (on the drive shaft I believe). We test drove up to 70 mph, checked & smelled fluids & inspected it on site ourselves. We purchased as-is for $3000. He gave us a pamphlet for an after market warranty which we did not purchase at that moment.
3 MILES from his office, truck broke down on 410. We called him, he gave us ambiguous trouble shooting about the gas tank floater & promises to calla mechanic & ask them. Never even offered a tow. Several emails back & forth in which the only "help" he offered was warranty fraud. "Walking us through the steps to get the warranty to cover the expenses to get the truck running". You can't use a warranty you had not yet purchased, to get non running vehicle running again.
Anyone who knows these trucks knows they are tanks & 168K is nothing. Wondering if that was the original engine. Even IF Mr Orozco *really* knew nothing about this vehicle, the very least he could have offered was a tow, that's just good business. However that piece of paper that says "as-is" is a wonderful way to remove moral obligation.
I wouldn't trust this guy as far as I can spit. read more
