Last week my husband called and spoke with a man over at Car King about a 2001 Nissan Xterra that I had wanted to test drive. The salesman put my husband on hold while he went to see if the vehicle was still available...he came back on the line and said it's available and that I could take it for a ride. I drove it over to my husband at work. He drove it, and it smelled like oil every time we'd stop or slow down. I dropped my husband back off at work and brought the truck back. The salesman asked me twice how I liked it, I told him it drove really nice..and then asked him if they have mechanics....he said yes, so I asked him what the oil smell is from. At first he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about so I repeated myself, and he said it was a leaky seal, but the part has been ordered, and then he tells me that the truck was sold!!! I was irritated already, and that just made it even worse since he had already told my husband just an hour before I drove it...that it was available! I stormed off to my car and he yelled to me and said ""you wouldn't have been interested anyway would you?"" I told him yes, if he gets the problem fixed (head gasket)...and he said the part is ordered and if I were to buy the truck there would be no problems with it and that he'd give me a call the next day if the ""buyer's"" financing didn't go thru (I already knew that was a lie)! I did not get a call, but the vehicle is still there and they are posting it every day on Craigslist! I would not recommend doing business with them, and if you do, please spend the extra $100 to have an inspection done by a mechanic that you can trust!
