Business ProfileforBob King, Inc.

April 1, 2023 - I purchased a 2022 **** Edge Titanium from Bob King Mazda with ***** miles. I paid full retail price of a vehicle represented as not had major previous damage. April 2024 I realized the vehicle had experienced more serious front end damage than presented at time of purchase when vehicle didn't pass NC state inspection due to driver sided headlight and major front end damage repairs quality. Early May 2024 I then learned the vehicle title is branded with NC DMV due to serious damages in system tied to VIN number. At time of purchase in April 2023, I inquired concerning front end damage reported on carfax provided for my review. The sales person and sales manager shared the vehicle was involved in a very minor parking lot bump accident that involved minor repairs. My decision to moved forward was based on information provided at time - I had trust and respect for the big named business in *************. With the Branded Title and upon inspection from possible dealer buyers, I am unable to get fair market value for vehicle at this time after physical inspection. I've been told I will be lucky to even get half of the current retail value. At time of purchase, I was told, if I was serious, they had several other inquiries and another sales person had an afternoon appointment with a interested customer. Also told - I would need to decide and lock in deal or they couldn't hold vehicle. I didn't have, or felt I didn't, have time to request further inspection of vehicle as it was a used auto. Since I was at a big named dealership within *************, I again had trust in the name that everything was as represented - a vehicle that hadn't experienced serious front end damages or required major repairs. Presently, I feel my trust has been taken advantage of and I am potentially facing an unfair capital loss with vehicle beyond normal depreciation and year long wear and tear.
