Oh, Donman auto.... So my nightmare all started when My Grand am died on me one week before the fall semester of my senior year. So I had to find a car fast or I wouldn't have a way back and forth to campus.
So what attracted me to this car dealership is all of the signs that said that they would make it work with what ever credit you have, being a student I dont have much credit, so I thought that it was the best shot that I had.
When I first stepped on to the lot I saw a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon in this beautiful red color. I WISH I HAD SEEN ALL THESE REVIEWS BEFORE I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT CAR!
I purchased the car for about 5100, and I also purchased a two year warranty for about 1500. That's where all my problems began!
One month after the date of purchase I had to replace the Timing, serpentine and V belts totaling about 700$.
We Called the warrently People to fix the problem and they told us that they werent going to pay for the repairs up front that they were in place to simply ""reimburse"" me the cost of the repairs and it would take 6-8 weeks for me to recieve payment, only after they ""approved"" that the work was done (somethting that DONMAN AUTO never meantioned when he sold me the warranty!!!!).
Three months after that, I got a letter in the mail that the warranty company that I had purchased the warranty from had recently filed for chapter eleven bankruptcy. Huh, isn't that nice? Another thing that DONMAN forgot to mention! Maybe it would be important for me to know that the warranty company isn't currently in string financial standing at the moment? So the 1500 that I paid for that, I will never see back in the form of cash or even the protection for repairs in which I purchased it for!!!!
And it gets better, One month after I learned that I no longer had a warranty... I had to replace the Fuel pump totaling about 400$.
Ever since the fuel pump issue, that car has been in and out of the shop for starting issues and other things, each time costing me over 100$
The kicker? I only drive it to school and to work and I have had it for a little over a year now and I have only put a little over 4000 miles on it since I have purchased it!!!!!
Seriously, DO NOT BUY FROM HIM!!!! Unless you like dealing with lemons and wasting all of your money on repairs! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
