If I could put zero I would. My granddaughter bought a used car from the salesman who assured them that even though it had high miles, it was a hybrid and had a a great service record (carfax?) . What he didn't mention from that report is the 2 accidents it was involved in. A week after she bought it ,for over $10,000 in cash, the check engine light came on and she took it to the service department where she bought it. They said it was fine. Less than 2 months later, it stopped running. Despite calls from her mom to ask what was wrong with the car, it took almost 3 weeks to get answer. He said she needed a new transmission. A cost of over $4200.00 or they would give her $600.00 as a trade in if she bought another one. She was very proud of saving her money and used it all buying that car. I called the Service manager A.J. and he said as is, so too bad, and they would not even work on making it right or even giving her a break on the repair cost. When I brought up the salesman not telling them about the accidents, he said those type of accidents don't cause damage to the transmission. So, it seems to me, from that statement, he knew about the accidents before they sold the car. I spoke with their attorney Mr. Demecs who said he would speak to those involved and at least try and to get a break on the repair cost. when I called back the following Wednesday, ( the day we agreed I should call back) he said the service department had not returned his request for information. I called again the next day, no answer. So I finally left a message on Mr. Taylors voicemail that Mr. Demecs had not returned my call and I was angry. I get a call back from Mr. Demecs telling me Mr. Taylor told him the same "bought as is" and they would do nothing to help. My granddaughter worked for door Dash and had already been out of work for 3 weeks at this point. They didn't care. She had it towed somewhere else to be repaired and they cannot even get it to start. I have read other peoples stories about the same dealership. BUYER BEWARE!! Apparently, this generation of owner does not seem to stand behind their cars as the Taylor Buick dealership I grew up with as a kid.
Note* Sitting here, I just realized, I've never known a transmission problem to stop a cars engine from running. read more
