My husband and I recently bought a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport from Tom. This was the worst expierence I have EVER had in my life! We picked it up and got about 1/4 of a mile down the roaad when it kept stalling. We pulled into a gas station which was hard because the power steering went out.
When we got it back to the lot Tom was already gone. I called and he did say they would fix it. When we went back to get it 2 days later, Tom and Fred said "we will make it right, we will not screw you over". We got almost home and noticed a lot of smoke coming from underneath. My husband looked and they had duct taped the exhaust up and the duct tape had caught on fire. After further inspection the exhaust was not even hooked up to anything.
We finally took the SUV to a auto shop where we could have it looked over and inspected. It turned out that it has a burnt valve, exhaust is rusted out, the calipers are very bad, the windshield whipers do not work, the horn doesn't work, and the tailgate does not open. It is going to cost 3 times the amount to fix everything than we paid for it.
We have tried numerous times to contact these people and all we get is the run around. They say we will give Tom the message, we will have Tom call you back. Tom refuses to call us back. We have went back to the car lot and Tom is never there. I highly reccommend that everyone stay away from this car lot!!
Steer clear of these RIP OFF auto sales dealers. Purchased car as-is, which will never do again. Car engine fell apart when it dropped a rod the next day! Engine exploded and almost caused a severe accident. DO NOT BUY CARS FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!
We went to get the car and on the way home 10 min away the same exact thing it had done the first time.They told is to turn around and bring it back, we informed them that it was overheating and they said ok.Again the car was there for 3 weeks then they called and said the engine was blown and it would be 1200 to fix.If they had fixed the problem in the first place it would not have overheated.regardless we had to tow a 6000 dollar car home that we cant drive and dont have the money to fix. Tom the owner refused to speak with me on numerous occasions, in person and on the phone.
I bought a car from mint auto sales on 5/10 and was assured there were no major problems and that everything had worked.when I got in the car I realized the windows did not work.He said he would have his mechanic fix it.A day later when I returned to get the car amd was informed I would have to pay to fix the windows because I bought car as is.
I needed a car immediatly for work so I drove it home, approx 2 weeks later (less than 100 miles)The car overheated and all the coolant came gushing out.I called mint auto sales and they said they would fox it for $160.00 labor only charges so I brought it to them, They had the car for 3 weeks and called to say they had replaced the fan and we could pick it up.
we made it about 10 minutes away before the car did the exact same thing! We called and told them they had not fixed the problem and the car was overheating, they told us to bring it back and they would get it done.
About another 3 weeks on their shop and they called to onform the engine was blown and it would take 1200 to fix.I told them they were responsible because had they fixed The problem they said they did it would not have overheated.Tom tthe owner refused to talk to me in person or on the phone.He had the office people tell me that we either payed the 1200 or we had to have the car towed home.
we now have to continue to make payments on a 6000 dollar car that we cant drive nor afford to fix.
