The guy basically said anything he could to sell me the car. 100% My fault for believing him, but I desperately needed a car at the time so I was desperate to believe them. But they 100% lied... which no matter what way you slice it, is bad business... I bought a car that he promised would have no problems in the future, and within the first month and a half I was out $1500 on 4 different repairs. All but 1 of which were there at the time of purchase (according to my mechanic). They were also dangerous problems,... I asked if the tires were relatively new, and was told "yes" and they have "plenty of tread left" and" were good tires". After almost dying a few times while trying to take slow turns in the rain, and having two of them go flat in the first two months, this was clearly not true. It turned out these were 9 year old tires with dry rot (they looked ok as there was a decent amount of tread left on them, but functionally, they were as bad as tires get) . I also smelled a bit of gas at the time of purchase and was reassured it was from the car being in and around the garage all the time. Turns out it was a cracked fuel pipe... 2 different mechanics told me they think he whiped the "check engine" light before the sale. Also promised me if anything went wrong they would work with me on a significantly discounted labor cost. Each time I called about a problem I was told that they "would only do what the law required"... So another classic used car sales tactic that I fell for :/
