20/20 Auto Center

This is a Ma & Pa used car sales lot. I was interested in a used car and test drove it. It seemed not to take bumps well. I asked the owner about the struts and he pushed down on the hood to bounce the car. «Seems fine» he said. Ah, not good enough. I asked him to look at them and he got under the car and said they were fine. I purchased the automobile and a week later took it to my mechanic for a check. Lo and behold the struts were frozen and worn completely down! He also noticed that the engine mount was missing a bracket and someone had stuffed an article of clothing between it so no one would hear the rattle. Hmmmm… It would cost $ 1200 to repair! Needless to say I was not happy. Can you say rip off?
