Run! Run! Run! Go anywhere else but this place!
During the call back I received from the Attorney General's office, I was told that they receive the most complaints about this specific dealer, and that this dealer never settles disputes. So, save yourself and go somewhere else.
When I first entered that awkward office space, I looked at the guy who's handling everything and immediately felt uneasy. His menacing gaze should've sent me running but unfortunately, I went against my gut feeling. Six months later, I'm still paying for this mistake -financially and emotionally. So, save yourself and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
In short, the people who run this place took advantage of my kindness and gullibility.
Everyone always says that car dealers are scumbags but I never thought it was fair to pass judgements based on what others say. I like to give people a chance to show me who they are. It's sad that the current state of our world warrants against this type of innocent outlook. So, always assume they're scumbags and RUN! From this place especially! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I gave this dealer multiple chances to redeem his reputation and character but he failed.
Here are the mistakes the manager (the one who looks like he's about to hurt someone) did;
1) Never went over the paperwork I signed, and I, because of my trusting nature didn't question anything.
2) Lied and concealed the real status of the car. I had to wait three weeks to get it after I bought it. Claimed that it was the headlights? Actually, the headlight never worked properly even after "they fixed it."
3) Put a cheap battery on which does not work with a BMW. Every time I complained about the error message I was getting, he would tell me that I just needed to drive it for awhile.
4) Told me he would get a key that works, never did. I have to manually lock and unlock the car.
5) Sold me the car for an astronomical price given its condition, and this is what upset me the most! I didn't buy a junk. I bought an operable car -at least for the duration of its loan. Okay, at least three years? At least one year? At least ONE MONTH!?? If he had sold it to me for its worth, I would not be writing this.
6) When I went back to to the manager to rescind the loan and return the car (the owner had offered to take it back or fix it when I approached him a week earlier), the manipulative liar convinced me to keep it because I would've had to come up with another $2000 deposit and other fees. LIE! I found out later that I didn't have to come up with a new deposit. Again, I believed.
7) About ten days later, when the transmission began to fail (less than a month of me picking up the car) He refused to take it back, even though his boss (the owner) had offered to take it back or fix it. He claimed that the owner changed his mind. I wonder who had to do with this change of heart?
8) I gave him the alternate option to fix it while I was overseas (like the owner had promised), he said he would call back but never did.
I've had to change the entire transmission, both the fuel pumps, the alternator and the belt, and it still doesn't work. They don't know what's wrong with it. The mechanic who's been working on it says that there was something wrong with the car before I got it and that the dealer concealed it. Again, I would not have been upset if they sold it to me at an appropriate price. In fact, given that its currently inoperable, this car should've been gifted for parts.
Now, I despise the manager for the way he handled this transaction, but at least I could tell from that first look I took at him that he's not a good person. However, what I'm mostly disappointed at and hurt by is the owner's deceit. He seemed genuine (maybe because he's good looking; they say the devil conceals himself well). He promised that they're not in the business to scam people and that he would take care of it. But didn't.
Whatever happened to honor? Morals? A man of his word? Who am I kidding! Car dealers are ruled by Satan. They operate on very low vibrations. There's no shred of divine light in them.
SO, SAVE YOURSELF AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more
