Business ProfileforSTL Carz

I bought a 2004 Nissan Quest from Stl Carz in November for $6700, which was more $1,000 over market value for that vehicle considered to be in perfect shape. At first glance it appeared to be that way. It has low miles, and looks like it's been well maintained. The first question I asked the salesman was has it been sitting a long time. I specifically asked this because vehicles that sit can start popping seals and leaking fluids. I was told NO. It had not been sitting. The next question I asked was if it had any leaks. I was also told NO, it didn't have any leaks. So we bought it and took it home, and the first weekend we had it we noticed it was leaking oil. We took it to a local Nissan dealer and paid for a full diagnosis. It had three oils leaks and bad control arms. I contacted the dealership, and they took care of the oil leaks only, but it's since sprung at least one more. The control arms are so bad the wheels can't be aligned until they're fixed. This is a $1400 repair. The trunk also leaks water when it rains, so the van is useless for groceries considering there's always a puddle of water in there. All in all we feel ripped off. We bought a van for over market value that is supposed to be in perfect condition, yet it has over $2,000 worth of repairs that need to be done. We shouldn't have paid more than $3500 for a van in this condition.
