Hello,There was no warranty, there was a 30 days to repair and this did not happen. Car was taken several times to the dealers repair shops and other places referred to by the dealership Central Auto and still was not resolved by them.

Review: 2002 S430 was sold to me the trunk was accessible which I had to take to a mechanic on my own to get it opened. But the main issue was that this car has structural damage which was not disclosed to me at the time of sale. Because of this the car is worth more then less what I am paying for. This car was sold to me for $11k and is work $5k. When I brought this to their attention nothing was done, and the form that was to be disclosed to me with this information was not provided at the time of sale. Not to mention it took several of follow up calls and many visits to the dealership to even get a response. They obviously don't stand by their vehicles and have no integrity.I would not recommend this deal to anyone not even my worse enemy.Desired Settlement: I would like a refund of balance, replacement and at the least I would like Revdex.com consumers to see this complaint as everyone should be aware of dealers like this.
