I am rejecting this response because: Sorry, had to print this very lengthy "BS" so to speak to be able to read and respond with any form of intelligence. First issue regarding sales tax. I am a business owner and would never question, or as stated argue with another business about sales tax. We all know it's inevitable. I did, however, talk her down in the price of the car to offset the tax as we were paying cash and I believe that is what any consumer would do. She did also offer the rescending order for an additional $250.00 to be returned if unsatisfied within 3 days. We were on our way to San Diego. Not much chance in that time frame. When my daughter's plate had been stolen in the first week she had it, we immediately called Convenient Cars to see about the processing of the papers. She then stated that she had already began the process. After a few weeks with nothing we called the local Sheriff's office. They looked into the vehicle i.d. number and found that nothing had yet been filed wherein we called her back threatening to take further measures with the Sheriff's department. It was then that she hightailed it to Sacramento, and miracle of miracles returned with the replacement plates and pink slip and registration.
As for the time frame of mechanical complaint, I still believe, after years of buying used cars from other retailers, that 3 months is an insanely short period of time for so many things to go wrong, especially with emissions. She stated that we received a copy of the smog report which I do not have. I have to wonder of the legitimacy of that report now.
In fact we did drive the car to San Diego. It struggled up the Grapevine but we were unfamiliar with the make and model and did not really know of it's potential so didn't question it. My daughter, when we inquired as to weather she enjoyed her new car or not, did tell us that she wished it had more guts in the San Diego freeway traffic. Again, we didn't think anything of it. Simply thought it was a gutless little car. Then, within 3 months the engine light came on and revealed the truth.
Every used car I have purchased has lasted at least 5 years or more. One was a 2006 Taurus bought over 5 years ago for $2800.00 which now has 176,000. miles on it and in that five years we have only replaced the water pump and an occasional brake pad.
The fact that she thinks 3 months is ample for a $4600.00 used car is mind blowing. Also, as I stated in the original complaint, she would simply respond with AS IS. This is why I simply want something on report. I know I have no recourse of action. She just really has no integrity. Lesson sadly learned. P.S. Had to get my daughter a reliable car. [redacted] offered us $1000.00! Fortunately she found a mechanic who wanted it for $1500.00. Now, between the repairs and the original cost of the car, we are only out $3700.00. Never going there again and definitely could have shared this on the local [redacted] page she advertises through... But I do have integrity.
