Purchased a used car, told transmission had been replaced, drove fine on High Street test drive. Next evening check engine light comes on. Took it to a certified mechanic who stated that the car codes came up needing an oxygen senor, air intake issues, tank defect issues and transmission issues. Tells me that the codes had been cleared from the car and that they return after one to two days. He then proceeded to clear them and yes they did come back on the next day.
The car cannot be driven over 45-50 miles per hour (at this speed and taking back roads my commute has more than doubled). We went to the dealer three times in an attempt to speak with the owner. This last time we were told that he "was in the back asleep and asked what we wanted." We told him the issue with the car and he just said (and kept repeating) "as-is—get a lawyer."
We are now stuck with a car that does not drive properly and I am fearful to even be in as it does not shift, that we still have to make payments on which negate us from the opportunity of finding a safer more reliable car. This dealer preys on people and rips them off by misrepresenting the vehicles he sells and then to clinch the deal, he clears out check engine codes just to get it off the lot—once off the lot, he believes you no longer have any recourse.
