Blue Diamond Auto Sales Corp 1

I have made a total of 4 visits to this dealership with the intentions to buy a used car, finance a car and for follow-​up inquiries, and listen to me when I say after all I’ve learned about these guys I recommend everyone to STAY FAR AWAY, these guys are professional scam artist!
I conducted hours upon hours of research on the specific cars I was interested in purchasing and compared prices to dealers nearby and what initially brought me to blue diamond was the decent price I found one for. When I visited the dealership, found the car from the listing, and after speaking with 2 guys who work there I was given 2 different prices, neither of which matched the online price. When I showed them the actual listing online with a price lower than what they stated the dealer said it was an old listing and after a tremendous amount of back and fourth and my threatening to walk out he said he’ll lower the price (to what it was supposed to be in the first place). After that, I informed him that I wanted to have the car checked prior to purchasing it, to which he tried to talk me out of by saying «there’s no need, the car runs great and it’s a great deal». Once I heard that I knew there must be something wrong with the car, so I insisted that I will not purchase it until I have it checked. Turns out there were hundreds of dollars worth of repairs that needed to be done that he «forgot» to mention. DO NOT BUY ANY CAR WITHOUT GETTING IT CHECKED OUT FIRST. Here is why, they get most of their cars from auctions, and majority of those cars turn out to be lemons. They get these cars for dirty cheap, and do the bare minimum to them so that they are legal to sell. In an attempt to make up for «forgetting» to tell me about several components that needed to be completely replaced, I was told they can do all of the replacements for a much better price, come to find out they work with a shady mechanic in Brooklyn that sells extremely low quality used car parts, either that or they’ll purchase the necessary part at a junkyard. (All of which was personally told to me).
All of this aside, I have yet to mention the biggest scam that they utilize, which is their FINANCING. Firstly, they’ll run a credit check, mine was just slightly below 700 to which the dealer stated that if wasn’t the best and make it seem as though it’ll be impossible to get a loan. A few minutes later he said luckily he was able to find a bank willing to extend a loan for AN EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS APR. They was they attempted to sell the terrible loan to me was by stating after 6 months of payments they’ll be able to cut the APR in half, and although interest is high if I pay it off in 2 years then I’ll save thousands. Little did they know I did my own research before hand, contacted banks such as chase and received quotes for what I qualified for, which turned out to be an APR less than half of what blue diamond offered me, and didn’t have an insanely large issuing fee (thousand of dollars less). I am confident this is how this shop makes a great deal of its money, working with shady banks and splitting the financing payment given to uninformed car purchasers. DO NOT FINANCE THROUGH BLUE DIAMONDS, they even had the audacity to tell me banks like chase and Citi are no good and they have the best rates and tried to talk me out of using them (I’m not sure they even accept loans from all major banks since no one would ever choose their financing options). Make sure you double check the numbers, and use a loan calculator that you can find online to verify the math. They are experts at making horrible deals sound great and once you sign that contract there’s no backing out of it.
I have given you all my informed recommended and the basis for the one star rating, I truly wish I could rate them even lower because that’s how strongly I feel everyone should stay clear of this dealership.
