1st stop car shop

Review: I purchased a 1996 ford truck from [redacted] at this business on 2/20/13 for $3700. Although this was an as is sale I was told and the truck was advertised like new with 43000 miles on it. I bought the vehicle and mentioned to [redacted]'s son outside the office I smelled gas. He said the were purging gas tanks at a business across the street from the car lot. I drove the truck home from [redacted] to [redacted] and the next day I noticed a puddle of gas under the truck. The smell of gas was strong and I called 1st stop to tell [redacted] that I thought the truck had a gas leak. He told me the vehicle was an as is sale. I was afraid to drive it so I called a garage and took it there an was told the truck had rotted gas tanks and it was leakin gas. The truckwas in the garage being repaired from 2/26 until I got it back today 3/13/13. The truck repairs cost me$2090 due to replacement of 2 gas tanks hubs rotors brakes ball joints and other itemized parts that were rotted and dangerous. I have a receipt and statement from the mechanic on the condition of the vehicle. It was dangerous and unsafe to drive and should not have been sold like that. I would like the dealer to reimburse me for the repairs or at least partially.Desired Settlement: $2090
