    I purchased a 2008 Mercedes as is on aug 13th 2022. The condition report states the vehicle starts and is drivable. Me doing business with ******* over the years i felt as though they were trustworthy and the reports were accurate. After paying for the vehicle i then proceeded to take it out the auction only to find out it didn't even start. Spoke with several employees none seem to care nor wanted to help and all had nasty attitudes over the phone!! In person it's a different situation!! So then i reached out to the general manager who always seem to be a honest and stand up guy. He told me he would reach out to the seller and see about getting me out the sale (never received a call back) then i did a little research and found that the selling company is owned by *** automotive as well. So im out of $2,975. Also reached out to cooperate office and was just transferred over and over . Just alot of bad business. I never got my money back they never offered to have their mechanic lool at the vehicle unless i pay $95

    Horrible experience!! Purchased a vehicle that said vehicle starts and drive. Well condition report lied. Sold me a lemon and refuse to make it right. Even had the audacity to try to charge me $95 for a mechanic to look at it instead of doing good business and makimg the situation right. Its far from over im not letting this one go. Its taking food from .y children and im not having that AT ALL

    This dealer bought an AS-IS unit. His claim was looked at multiple times and does not fall within the NAAA guidelines. The dealer was made aware of this multiple times.
