Auto Credit

A friend purchased a vehicle from this company in February of 2015. She was a 21 year old female by herself. She had no/​poor credit and thus her options were limited. This dealership sold her a vehicle with a KBB value of about $ 1,500 for $ 7,500 when all payments are complete. In July we had to perform a $ 700 brake job because the brake lines had rusted through and the front brakes had seized destroying the rotor and wheel hub. Admittedly had the seizure of the caliper been noticed the rotor and hub assembly may have been salvageable, but brake lines don’t rust through in a couple months… least not that I am aware of. When we contacted Kyle about paying for the parts to make the repairs, which we performed ourselves, he agreed but never followed through. At the end of August the brakes failed yet again and a fuel line rusted through and is spraying fuel all over the engine. Again we called Kyle and he has been less than helpful and will not not return our calls. Interestingly enough the vehicle would not pass inspection at time of sale so they took it to one of their own shops where it miraculously passed inspection… that’s not suspect at all, is it?
As in all things, the buyer must be educated and aware of what they are buying. My friend was neither in this situation and these guys took advantage of her. As it stands she owes nearly $ 5K on this vehicle and it is not drivable and requiring more work to be barely safe, and is valued by the Kelly Blue Book (an optimistic valuation) at less than $ 2K.
As my dealings with them have been under less than ideal circumstances I can not speak to their personalities or intents, I can only judge the outcomes and their willingness to make a bad deal right.
I would suggest that if you deal with this company that you remain very suspect and get a second opinion on any vehicle or financing options they may offer you. Just because your credit is poor does not mean you need to be swindled.
