I called before I bid on this car.The price was so low,I knew there had to be something wrong with it..even though the item description says its it perfect running condition.When I spoke to Chuck on the phone,he promised there was absolutley nothing wrong with the vehicle,that he just needed to make room on his car lot for newer models comming in.So I bought it.I flew into Atlanta from San Diego to pick it up.I live in Tennessee,so I wanted to drive it home.
When I arrived,he was extremly rude and unprofessional.He even sat there and stared at my chest while I signed the papers.I had to sit there for 2 hours why the put the radio back in the console.Finnally I got the keys.The key is wouldnt go into the ignition.A mechanic took 10 min trying to get it in.I stopped to get gas,(the tank was on empty),and the battery died.I had to break the lock on the gas tank to pump my gas,since the key he gave me didnt fit that lock.
I got about 15 miles down the highway and the car overheats and dies.I pulled it off onto the first exit ramp.A few guys helped push it into a parking lot.One of the popped the hood to see what happened.There were several dry-rotted hoses,NO temperature gauge or thermometer.All of my fluids were either very low or empty.There was no driving that car home.
I called him and he told me that he had no legal obligation to help me and that I was on my own.I am a 22 year old girl who spent all of her savings on this car,and he sold me a car that got me 15 miles down the road.My sister drove 4 1/2 hours to Atlanta to pick me up.I had to pay a tow truck $ 675 to go pick it up in Atlanta and bring it to Tennessee. I got it to a mechanic here in town.The head gasket,headers,water pump and radiator ALL have to be replaced before I can drive it.The cost to fix everything will be a little more than 2,000.I paid 4550 total for the car.
I have already contacted a lawyer,and will be taking him to court.I have also contacted the Better Business Buearu.I do not want him to do this to anyone else.
Please do NOT buy a vehicle from this man.It cost you more money and headache than you know.I hope no one else has to go through this.
P.S....his positive feedback is mostly fake.He has signed up for several ebay accounts with false names to leave himself positive feedback so people will buy from him.I had to find that out the hard way. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |

Very unreliable vehicle, only has 57,000 miles and motor is cracked. Paid $15,000 for a 2003 and car was totaled due motor damages; parts are extremely expensive and hard to find. Interior is beautiful and spacious--too bad motor is not as reliable. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
