Where should I start?..... I have never been more aggravated with the deception and arrogance than by PhillyAuto. Rob the "so called" sales manager or consultant, or whatever he says his title of the day is, will tell you anything to sell you a car; 130 point inspection, NIADA Certified, etc.. It's all BS. NIADA didn't list an accident for the car I purchased, but when I ran the Carfax it did. My car was also backed by the NIADA Certified Pre-owned coverage, but when I said I had an issue with the thermostat, I was told by Rob that I didn't buy the coverage.
During the sales contract explanation, there was a charge for BMW of the Main Line in the amount of $895.00. I asked what this charge was for, and Rob "the manager", said it was a commission fee that was owed to BMW of the Main Line. It was eventually dropped to $645.00 to complete the sale. I've since contacted BMW of the Main Line and found that they have no affiliation with PhillyAuto and the sales manager said their general manager was contacting PhillyAuto immediately regarding their false representation.
The BMW 328i I purchased had 4 bald tires, the interior was a complete mess, and it wasn't inspected. Rob wrote on the purchase agreement that I would receive four new tires so it would pass inspection and he would order them that day. I was also told the car would be cleaned when I picked it up the next day. HAHAHAHA, it was never touched.
It was now 7 days since I picked up the car and no tires had been ordered. I finally purchased the tires on my own and was told that I would be reimbursed for full amount of the tires when PhillyAuto's mechanics performed the inspection. The inspection was completed but the handbrake didn't work even though it passed. They did fix the handbrake. For the reimbursement, I was given the excuse that their controller wasn't in and tomorrow she would mail the check. After weeks of no responses to phone calls or emails, or excuses that someone had quit or was fired, Rob finally answered the phone and said he would only reimburse me for $400 of the $703 owed because they're a dealer and they receive a discount. Tired of the runaround, I took the money.
You may ask why I even bought the car. It was a diamond in the rough. But I will never ever step foot on their property or tell anyone about them except that you should stay away. Far, far away. read more
