  I purchased the car from them literally over the phone. I had my salesman do a walk around as he was supposedly my advocate seeing I cant look at the car.. When the deal was done, I didnt Get a thank you from either the sales manager who handled the deal or the salesman! didnt even get paperwork in the car when it was delivered to me. What the F?Upon getting the car, I noticed where you put the key fob in It was literally hanging down. It was missing a clip. You basically have to hold it so it doesnt fall out and stick in the key. The manager and the sales per person both drove the car and if its impossible they didnt notice it and it was bad that they didnt let me know or buy a five dollar clip which I have no idea how to get.Yesterday I was driving down the road and I got stopped by the police for not using my Directional. I said I did I swear, and I got a ticket. Came home and released the little thing from the car And realize theres only one wire going into it as there are two going through it, Its impossible for it to work which means they never did a safety check Which is not legal in ********** ********** for a dealership to sell a car without doing one.If I was anybody reading these reviews, dont necessarily believe the good ones. Theyre usually prompted but really read the bad ones, They matter much more.When I mention to the idiots this morning, he said oh I bought a car as is. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REQUIREMENT TO DO A SAFETY CHECK

  The customer purchased the vehicle 100% remotely, voluntarily waiving any in-person or third-party inspection despite being offered the opportunity. The vehicle was sold as-is, without warranties, per California law, which the customer acknowledged.
  Despite significant credit challenges, we assisted the customer in obtaining financing a courtesy, not an obligation and heavily discounted the vehicle at their aggressive negotiation request.
  Complaints regarding a missing clip on the key fob involve a cosmetic, non-mechanical issue that does not affect safety or legal compliance. The customers own traffic citation relates to their driving behavior, not to any mechanical defect with the vehicle.
  The vehicle was inspected for basic safety and functionality prior to sale as part of our standard internal procedures. As an as-is sale, the customer accepted the vehicles condition after being fully informed, and no additional warranty or certification was promised or implied.
  We reject the request for a refund. We operated fully within California DMV, BAR, and FTC guidelines and exceeded standard practices to accommodate this customer.

  I purchased a car from Pro Motorcars of ******* ** in November 2022. It was advertised as having remote start and a trailer hitch. Upon arrival, I noticed that it did not have either of these. I contacted the dealership and received a response from the General Manager, ***********************. He indicated that the car was sold as is and it was not their responsibility. I contacted my local Audi dealer and they have quoted me $2190 to install a trailer hitch and that they will not install a remote start for the car. ************** has not accepted any responsibility for the missing/misleading advertising and has suggested that it was the online portal (Cargurus) responsibility. I have contact ******** and they do not take any responsibility for the authenticity of a car's listing information.

  I do not accept the response from the dealership, Pro Motorcars.  It is not the responsibility of the online platform to verify each each car listed along with the *** and its associated features.  I went through the listing process on Cargurus and it does not populate the features in the car.  Once again I am very disappointed in Pro MotorCars in their handling of this problem.

  On November 16, 2022, I purchased a car from this dealer. After reviewing car fax and speaking with sales personnel they assured me the car went through 4-point inspection and nothing major was wrong. The car was shipped to me and in less the 30 days I'm having to put in the shop for timing belt issues, catalic converter and thermostat. I spoke with ***************, and he let me know car was as is and this might have been something that I did to the car for all he knows. The car is at the shop at a reputable mechanic and is requiring over $5000 in repairs. The dealer wants me to pay $2400 to ship car back so they can fix it. This is concerning because the car was shipped to me with these issues.

  Hello *****,
  
  Upon release of the vehicle this car had been inspected and sold with no issues. Upon your purchase we have included a complimentary limited powertrain warranty at no cost to you.  Unfortunately vehicles are made up of over ****** different parts and at any given time parts can fail. As most dealerships do, we sell our vehicles as is; which is stated in the contract. Its disheartening to hear you are now having issues with the vehicle and as a business owner I would like to help with the repairs if you can bring the vehicle to our dealership. I hope this message serves you well. Please feel free to contact us anytime at *************

  The car is at ***************** Shop ********************************************************. They have attempted to call you all several times and they can be reached at ************. If you all are not comfortable with this shop please send me information for another shop that is located here in ******** **. 
  

  In less than 30 days its unacceptable for timing belt and converter to be breaking down. I would like the repairs done here or my money back and you get your car back. This is about 5-6 worth of work in less than 30 days. These are huge issues and shipping to your dealership is costly and inconvenient when they are shops here on the east coast.

We have yet to see this vehicle here at our repair shop for diagnostic. Please feel free to come by anytime Monday - Saturday from 10 AM - 7PM. Also we have gave you a complementary extended warranty at no cost to you for 90 day that you may use anywhere in the country.

  Thanks for your response. This car was shipped to me where I live in **. You all are in ***** will cost me $2499 to ship car to you and back. If I should have to pay to have a car shipped back then thats the same as me paying to fix the car. I shouldnt have to do either because this happened in the first 30 days. The warranty that was provided doesnt cover the repairs. This car hasnt been drivable since December 01, 2023 and I purchased on November 16, 2022.
