DO NOT HIRE BRANDON HAYES. He is not Hero but is a crook. I was looking for a car for my wife to drive when the roads were bad. I have been looking at Subaru Outback's for her. We came across the one Brandon was selling on Craigslist. He said the timing belt was replaced, it had 198K mile and no body damage. When looking at it had damage to the from and the back hatch had a large dent and some rust. I thought that is fine because of the price. He said the head gasket was changed and that it did not leak, brakes and front suspension was done recently. The odometer also said 252000 and not 198000 as stated in the listing. Again because of the price we decided to pay him for the car. When he brought out the title it had a different name than his. He said it was his step fathers so we gave him the money. When we left he said to call him if we have any questions or problems. After getting home I parked it in my clean driveway and noticed it leaking coolant. I took it to a shop and the head gasket needs to be replaced and that the engine oil, transmission and head gasket was leaking and all for shocks had to be replaced and the brakes were close to needing done. Upon finding this out I called Brandon and it went straight to voicemail so I texted him to discuss this. He has never returned my calls or texted me back. I have given him plenty of time to call me so now I am writing a character review. I decided to list the car with the issues because I am an honest person and then a guy called me asking if I was the person on the title because the person (Antonio) owed him $700 for the car still and was looking to collect. The person on title ended up not being his step father but a younger friend. Brandon is the shadiest guy I have ever dealt with. I am surprised he is married and has children. I pray that his kids do not grow up like him. Now I am out $2100 during Christmas. I am a father of 4 children and I am shocked that someone would treat someone like this.
