I financed a car from this company that seemed to be in good condition. I asked to get a carfax and they said they don't offer that, but assured me that if there were any problems they'd take care of them for me. So I gave them the $2500 down payment on Friday, and they told me to come pick it up on Monday so they could clean it, gas it up, and fix some small minor problems that I poionted out to them. On Monday, I picked up the poorly washed car that had even less gas than on Friday, 37 more miles on the odometer, and NONE of the problems were fixed. The owner told me that he never agreed to anything, and now my down payment was his and I couldn't get it back. I took the car to a mechanic who hooked up his diagnostic computer deal to it, and found MANY electrical and sensor problems, all which would have cost over $2100 for mamaterials, not including labor. I then did a Carfax and discovered the car was flooded out in Katrina and that the title was a salvage title. The car broke down on me 4 days later and would not start. I called the dealer and he asked me where the car was so that he could pick it up and try to help me get the repairs done, but he picked it up and told me to get the hell off his lot when I went down there, claiming that I told him to keep the car and that I also said I didn't care about the down payment. Pure trash bags and scum! You've been warned!!!
