I definitely had an experience here, some I was just lucky with. I ended up here due to my credit, which is completely my fault, my current car was done for and I was in desperate need of a car ASAP. I saw a honda civic hybrid I quite liked on their webpage, so went down to take a look. I loved the car in person- it was a 2009 (this is an old review- I purchased the car in 2014) and in great shape, and Hondas have a great reputation. I put $1500 down and traded in my practically dead Kia and it was still way over the advertised price. But again, I needed a car asap, so I purchased the car. About 6 months after I got the honda, I received about $3k worth in parking tickets from the courts- on the kia I had traded in and no longer owned. For non registered and abandoned vehicle. I went down to TSM and was told it wasnt their fault- the kia was given to a junk yard. I had to take 2 days off work to go to the traffic court to prove I did not own the kia at the time the tickets were given (once to plea not guilty, another day to meet with the prosecutor) it was finally done with and thrown out. A month later, the IMA light when on indicating a faulty hybrid battery. Now ive had the car only 7 months, put $1500 down, plus a trade in, been making my payments and having a problem with the car. I stupidly believed tsm when they said they were going to take the car down the block to the mechanics for a "battery charge". After researching this, when a honda civic hybrid batter goes- there is no charging it. Only replacing it. So tsm was aware of the problem and didnt inform me. Just tried covering if up. I bet the "mechanic down the block" just reset the light and software on the battery. Now here is where i got lucky- honda is amazing and the battery was still covered under the honda warranty so they replaced the battery at no charge to me and were incredible (thank you honda of bayshore). It wouldve cost me $3200 if honda didnt back up their cars- a problem i KNOW tsm was aware of when they sold the car to me. Honda wouldnt even let me drive the car home, the battery was so shot at that point. Make sure you have a real mechanic look at any of these cars before buying read more
