I am a 22 year old student and first time car buyer who took a family loan to buy this car. I did my due diligence and took the car to our trusted family friend and mechanic. He printed out what it needed and we gave this to Max and said no thank you we are not going to buy the car with these issues. The car needed new tires, and new shocks and what was completely contingent upon me purchasing the car was that Max promised and assured me he would fix these issues and they weren't a bit deal his mechanic could do it no problem. He replaced the tires, and said he needed to order the shocks but to bring the car back and he would do it no problem. WEEKS later after NUMEROUS excuses (mechanic out of town, wrong shocks, manufacturer error) AND a life threatening incident of my tire POPPING on the freeway because of THE BAD SHOCKS it was apparent that max had no intention of replacing the shocks because his ignorance and lack of research lead him to believe he could find cheaper shocks for the car than he really could. He blatantly LIED and DECEIVED me, and when I demanded my money back he patronized me and laughed in my face, still making excuses. I am not the dumb woman he thought he could rip off, this man is an unprofessional, deceitful, disgusting predator who has no regard for anything but his next short cut pay day. He should be held accountable for negligence and reckless endangerment for his lack of action and breach of agreement, he put me and potentially others at risk by selling me a faulty car with no intention of holding up his end of the agreement. This car is sitting in my driveway UNDRIVABLE. This man is a THIEF, he will screw you over. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM. PERIOD. I gave you the chance to do the right thing. See you in court Max! read more
