  On June 21st 2023, I purchased a 2016 *** X5 from this dealership for $22, 495 and $600 for shipping. The owner ***** assured me that the vehicle was in "MINT CONDITION, AND NEED NOTHING" I did not received the vehicle until july 31st with an empty gas tank. I took a vehicle loan from navy federal to buy the car at a 4%, on August 18th I receive a mail from Navy Fed stating that my vehicle loan will be converted to a personal loan at ****% APR due to not having received the vehicle TITLE at the time alot. As of today August 21, 2023 I've yet to receive the title to send to Navy Fed, and also legally drive the car. Finally, on August 17th, I decided to go test drive the car and fill it up with gas, and discovered that it SHAKES violently when I step on the gas, the following day I setup an appointment with my local *** dealership to have it checked and discovered that the transmission is shot, and the car will be needing a new transmission ASAP and it's going to cost over $20,000. I have documental of everything I've stated, *****, has also been informed of everything and I've yet to heard back from him.
