I apologize in advance, this review is not based on my experience with the nursery itself but rather my experience with the owner David Warren and his son. However it's well worth sharing my experience, as it will be helpful in knowing just who your considering doing business with. My family and I live here locally in the same town as Warren's Nursery, our kids attended the same high school even. My daughter has been saving her money since her freshman year, now a senior and off to college soon wanted to purchase her own first car. If that doesn't make a parent proud. We purchased a 1995 4Runner from David and his son Cade for $4500. The 4Runner appeared in great shape however 2 days after the purchase and 1 week prior to me getting it in for an inspection reveled major engine damage, 2 additional automotive shops expressed the damage appeared to be a result of the 4 runner being hydrolocked.
When I informed David and son Cade of the findings, Cade informed the mechanic and myself that yes the 4Runner had in fact been hydrolocked. Repairs are expected to range between 5-7k.
I'm in no way insinuating that David has a legal responsibility to make things right but rather a moral obligation. It was one shops opinion that there would be no way of not knowing the condition of the 4Runner upon selling it to us. When I plead with David to help resolve the matter David became agitated and when I tried to appeal to his ethical side he stated,
" I don't want to hear your sob story." I should mention I am a disabled veteran with, 8 year active and 2 combat tours. In no way shape or form was my plea a, "sob story" but rather hope that David and Cade Warren were men of morels and integrity. David and Cade made repairs to the 4RUNNER in the sole attempt to sell it and get from under it and before it became a total loss to them and in turn 25 miles in to the purchase the check engine light came on and the 4RUNNER became a total loss to my 16 year old daughter and her 4 years of savings $4500. Please be very careful when dealing with David Warren from Warren's Nursery as the aforementioned gives you a good idea of the mans lack of integrity and just who it is your considering doing business with. read more
