Business ProfileforSettle Auto Sales

My son saved and bought his first car from Settler because we were referred by a family friend.We test drove a few cars and thought the ****** Forester would get him through the next 1.5 years of school.We knew it was an older/high mileage vehicle but never thought we would have engine issues after only 2 weeks of ownership.It was at about ******* miles or so when we bought it.The second day of owning the car we put a new battery in.The 2nd day I did call *** and ask him when the last time the oil had been changed.He chuckled and said he did not know.I told son to make an appointment for an oil change.There was oil in the car as we did check the dip stick.He had the oil changed on 1/20/24 at ****************.The associate there advised ******* that there was an oil leak at that time.On 1/28/24 the check engine light was on.We checked the oil dip stick and it did not appear there was much oil in the vehicle.This is only after a week of having the oil changed. My husband ***** put a quart of oil in it.This meant that the car had an issue with oil and pressure with the camshafts.the dealer on 1/29/24 at 9:55a.m.I explained to him that my son had used his savings to buy his first car and we had expected the car to last at least a year but it was burning oil and leaking oil after only having the vehicle for 2 weeks and driving just to school, work and home.I explained that he did not have the money to invest into the car and we would like to have the car fixed.The salesman said he would call by the end of the day with a response. He then informed us he was unable to get in contact with the owner and the owner did not come into the office.I called at 5:40p.m. and *** answered.The owner *** would not do anything as "there were several people looking at the vehicle and they had financing fall through. The mechanic last put in a new windshield, muffler, paint job and bumper and had addressed the something with the steering column
