Buyer Beware! This is a story about a used Car lot owner, it's salesperson and a mechanic. No joke. This just happened to us. We just got completely burned by someone I called a friend. We recently purchased a used vehicle off a lot. It took us two weeks to get the car because apparently the mechanic had to change brake lines and brakes? We asked about a few concerns we had but were told everything was checked out and fine. Fast forward 2 months. The car had a gas leak and was making all kinds of noise. It seems when the motor was replaced a few years ago, they left the transmission. Well, the transmission was shot, the gas lines were leaking, the gas tank was completely corroded (later the mechanic admits he saw this), a wheel bearing was shot. We go back to the owner who says to me "I'm tired of women wanting a brand new car when they are buying used" Seriously? The mechanic admits that the owner told him to push through the safety on the vehicle, knowing the gas tank was corroded, and the salesperson...he is long gone and on to the next car lot, not even answering my texts. He certainly wasn't the friend I thought he was!!! Oh and the total cost was $3300, the used transmission was covered by warranty that we purchased extra. Angry and very disappointed!!!! FYI I have the Kia dealership detailed report of everything they found when they looked at the car, as well as texts from sales person stating the mechanice pushed through the safety.
