I would highly recommend Bayfront Automotive to anyone who is looking to buy a late model, clean automobile! My husband just bought a third car from Bayfront. We've loved them all! We also enjoy wor who is looking to buy a late model, clean automobile! My husband just bought a third car from Bayfront. We've loved them all! We also enjoy working with Tim H. I feel that Tim does a fantastic job of filling the lot with a nice variety of quality options and he is good at his job! If you're prepared, you will be on the road in no time- No sitting around the dealership all afternoon! Here are a few things one might want to keep in mind when buying a used vehicle: 1. "Cars are not an investment, they are an expense" 2. Do not expect the "full retail experience" 3. Bayfront Automotive is NOT, NOT, NOT owned by Bizzaro More

I completely agree with Kristen Nicolia's previous I completely agree with Kristen Nicolia's previous review. Do not buy from this dealership!! And it's not just Bayfront as it's owned by one of I completely agree with Kristen Nicolia's previous review. Do not buy from this dealership!! And it's not just Bayfront as it's owned by one of the Bizzaro's and has several dealerships throughout the Erie area that seem to do business in the same matter as Bayfront. Stay clear from all of them...research, research,research! I'm now regretting that I hadn't researched them prior to doing business with them. Tim Huntley has been in the used car business for a very long time and knows exactly how to play the game, and that game is always in the best interest of the dealership and the owner, and certainly not the buyer. Tim Huntley has a very shady past in this industry and has a very low approval rating by many professionals here in the Erie area that I have personally talked to. Unfortunately I found this out only after buying a vehicle from him. I've talked with at least 8 people that have known him over the years, and not one of them had a positive thing to say about him, not one!! I almost felt bad for him...almost. His rudeness and poor personality were made apparent almost immediately after meeting him. After I test drove the car I talked with him about a few of things that I had concerns with... he began to cop an attitude with me as if I just insulted him. I guess it's because he hand picks all the vehicles himself and couldn't stand to hear that the vehicle he hand picked had issues. So after I told him that it shuttered real bad when stopping he refuted that by saying there's nothing wrong with it. I told him to take it for a quick spin so he could see for himself...he replied to me by saying "I'm not driving it!" At first, I was like the heck with this guy, but my wife really, really liked the car and I didn't want to screw this up for her. He eventually got in it, obviously annoyed, and quickly drove it in a circle around the cars in his TINY LITTLE LOT at a high rate of speed. He got out and said it's fine, just a little rust from sitting on the lot for so long and that it would eventually wear off. Fast forward, I ended up buying the car and after having my mechanic look at it, I brought it back to Bayfront Auto...as it turns out, Tim was WRONG and the rotors were so bad they were beyond fixing and needed to be replaced. He did pay for the rotors, but he made me pay for the labor...good, but not good enough as I feel since I told him they were bad before the purchase, he should have paid for the labor too. My mechanic also located a bad resonator which is basically a small muffler close to the engine, there is also a larger typical muffler in the back of the vehicle but that one seemed fine. Tim refused to pay for the resonator...a $487 part. I know, I know I should have had it checked first, but I did come back the very next day. Also, the mileage on the inspection sticker was more than what was on the odometer. I did not notice that until after the purchase as well. He assured me that it was an error by the person who issued the sticker and that the odometer was not rolled back. The State Police are in the middle of investigating this issue to see if there was any wrong doing. We also bought a four year extended warranty (at least we thought we bought a 4 year warranty) for this vehicle for $1250. After only 2 months I started hearing some weird noises/popping coming from the transmission and/or left front axle...so I went straight for the warranty paperwork to review our policy, and what did I find, he checked the 3 year warranty box instead of the 4 year. There is no set dollar amount next to the years on the warranty paperwork as there's no set price. They are charged a flat rate from the insurer, the dealer then can sell the policy to the customer for what ever amount he chooses. That's how they make their money on the warranty. My wife and I are 100% sure he told us 4 years for $1250 as she wrote it down while talking to him...he got us good on that one!! I honestly believe he checked the 3 year box after my wife signed the paperwork...and yes, we know she screwed up by not reading it more carefully. I just stopped to see him this evening to see if he may have accidentally checked the wrong box, (I knew we were screwed as the paper work had been signed but I tried anyway) but he would not work with us at all. But he did feel the need to sling some foul language, including the f bomb at me because of my decision to have the State Police look into the odometer and inspection sticker discrepancy...too bad Tim, it's wrong and it's my right to have it investigated...no reason for him to get mad at me as he should have caught that when he purchased the vehicle himself. Bottom line, in my opinion he's a shady character to say the least. The fact that I gave this place $18000+ worth of business makes me sick to my stomach. I honestly don't know how people like this can sleep at night...sad, very sad. Also, the only good thing about this place is the guy that details the cars. He seems to be a good guy and does fantastic work. More
