Maple Ave Auto Sales

Use extreme caution when dealing with this seller. I purchased a 2003 Lincoln Navigator from Frank for my wife. The car was clean and mileage was low for the age. So I test drove it a few miles and it ran fine. He insisted on full price in cash which I paid since the car looked nice and he assured me that it «could drive to Florida right now, with no problem». I bought it on a Saturday in late January of 2015. On Monday (as in 2 days later) I drove it to work to gas it up. Well that is when the problems started. The roof leaked like a faucet. I called Frank. He said it was minor. I figured, well it is a used car so I would just have to fix it. Then at the end of the week the shifter started having problems and the check engine light went on. It turns out it needs a new cylinder as well as a new shifter assembly. At this point less than 300 miles were put on the car. I called Frank. He was completely unwilling to help. Long story short, I paid full price for the car in cash and I’m looking at about $ 3,000+repairs. This is based on estimates from 2 separate reputable garages. This was supposed to be a nice starter car to get my wife to and from work. At this point the car can’t even be driven. Buyer beware. My recommendation would be to deal with a more reputable dealer that would be wiling back up the cars they sell. I would rate zero stars if possible.
