    **** is the biggest ***** you will ever meet! Sold me a van for 3000 that had a blown head gasket. When I called him less then 24 hours after I purchased the van he hung up on me. Most unprofessional and unethical person you will ever meet.

    On March 27, 2024 we did sell a 22 year old Van to *****. Now she calls me the biggest ***** she ever knew. On the internet she says that she had the oil changed, and after the oil got changed it was running very rough. But obviously it wasnt running rough prior to that.On the internet she says that I told her that we used the Van to pull trailers that had cars that we purchased. (That is not what I said) However we did use the Van to dead haul the empty car dolly to locations, but never to haul any amount of weight.On the internet she say I was not willing to come down on price, again she is not telling the Truth. I indeed did bring the price down to $2,850 to satisfy her.On the internet she said it was low on antifreeze, and she said it had a blown head gasket. So did it blow a head gasket or not ?, or is it just a possible guess.I asked a semi retired mechanic his opinion, and to check it out. He went to the mechanic shop, the Van started right up. It did not smoke, nor smell like it was burning antifreeze, nor did it bubble from the overflow tank, or even has a exhaust smell in the antifreeze/coolant tank. And also no moisture in the oil filler cap and area. All of these are factors in determining a head gasket.She says I hung up on her when she called me. We had more than 1 phone conversation. It was mostly 1 sided, she kept babbling on and would not listen to me when I tried telling her about a 2nd mechanics opinion. Her phone records will prove we had more than 1 conversationIts unfortunate that she is having problems with the Van. But it did run and work good for us and also when she checked it out and test drove it, before she bought it.In about November we had the crankshaft and or camshaft sensor replaced, as well as doing a New Timing Belt Kit with a New hydraulic tensioner. When she bought the **** it was made very clear there was no warranty on older vehicles, that it was AS IS. With a witness present she readily said I know its AS IS and Im taking a chance but Im going to buy it.This is a 22 year old vehicle, and any vehicle can break down or have problems. It was not represent as like new or anything other than a used **** ******* special about it.I did not and do not talk anyone into any vehicle, I leave them make there own decisions.Ive been in the car business since 1969, and sold thousands of used vehicles. None are New and all will have or will sometime have some type of defect or problem.We abide by all State and Federal Regulations She not only signed the Buyers Guide, but read the back side and asked me if all the things listed could be potential problems. The purchase order says **** AS IS, it also says NO Warranty and she signed the seller disclosure.With all phone and Internet Harassment and False accusations and statements that ***** made against me. I feel that I would have a good legal case against her for more than $5,000
