    Where do I start. I purchased my first car in 2022. A man named *** was the one to help me at Venice Honda. I went in not knowing much as Ive never purchased a car before. At the time, my father was dying which was my reasoning for needing a car, to take him to and from his appointments. My father went with me on the day I bought the car, but was too sick to get out of the car so he sat in his while I negotiated. *** asked if I had anyone to co-sign or help with more money down. I replied with no. He then looked at my father in the car outside and said ask him and I said no, my father was dying and I wasnt bringing him into anything. *** said okay and we continued to talk. A few minutes later *** excused himself and the next thing I see is him sitting in my dads car talking to him!!! After I specifically told him not to. I decided to let that go as I really needed a vehicle and didnt want to start over somewhere else. *** finds me a 2019 Nissan Versa. He tells me its reliable and a good first time car. I said okay as I didnt know any different. This car has been one **** show after another. The service department looked at my car and fixed something ONCE and every other time my calls get ignored or brushed off. The deal I was given with this car was bad. I have to let them repo it just to get out from under it. And I know the GM will come back like he has with everyone elses complaint on here and say I knew what I was agreeing too but I didnt. I dont expect people to be slimy. I expected honesty and help and truthfully when he spoke to my dad after I said not I should have raised **** The place is garbage. The GM clearly knows that with how defensive hes getting with all the reviews. Once this shitbag lemon of a car gets repoed Ill find an HONEST dealership to help me where people arent crooked and so money hungry theyll do anything for a sale. Shame on all of you,
