This appears to be window dressing for an incredibly poor post purchase support experience. TLDR: Nice before cash in hand. Curt and dishonest after the sale. While I was considering the vehicle I purchased, I expressed concern about maintenance history and inspection of the vehicle. Their listing photos showed a warning light on the dash, which wasn't lit when I test drove the vehicle. So, I asked what the issue was and whether it had been resolved. I was informed that this light was due to tire pressure, which was thoroughly inspected while the tires were balanced and rotated. I was told not to worry, and that the dealership moves more than 400 cars monthly - so rest assured that they're incredibly thorough and all maintenance was up to date. Less than two days after my purchase the light came back. I took the car to my local Toyota dealership and was informed that: The engine thermostat needed to be replaced. The tire pressure sensors were deffective. Engine fluids needed servicing and had not been maintenanced on schedule. Oh, and by the way... There was no way they could have balanced, rotated, or otherwise inspected the tires as the rims were locked on with incorrectly installed lug nuts that would need a specialty tool to be removed. I contacted the dealership - wanting them to resolve the issues. They had stated they had resolved all of these things and completed an inspection - an obvious lie. No one I spoke to including the General Manager cared about me at all - remainign completely indiferent about how their dishonest dealings had impacted me. The only person who showed any sense of human sensitivity and willingness to help me was the Used Cars Manager: Billy Plasket - and to him I'm grateful. Billy agreed to have the car serviced in their service department again and also by Discount Tires - where the tire pressure monitors were to be replaced. At least the two tire sensors that had low readings. Upon inspection, Discount Tire discovered one of the rear tires was not road worthy, and had rotted so poorly in places that they were for concerned for the passenger's safety. Additionally, the other tires were so worn that the entire set of four would need to be replaced to match the fourth new tire. And to top it off, the spare was rotted and not road worthy and it's tire pressure monitor was also dead. But... They did a thorough inspection right? I believe Billy advocated for me - but I'm sure the indiferent General Manager overrode him - because North Central Ford of Richardson declined to replace the tire and dismissed the concern for safety for me and my family. They insisted they had done all they would. To date I'm left with the cost of five new tires, three tire pressure monitors, plus gas time and energy ALL ... On a vehicle I was assured had been thoroughly inspected. I suspect somoene simply cleared the error code long enough to get the car off the lot so somone, unfortunately me, could be taken advantage of. This is shameful. I'm an honest, hard working, single mother. I saved for several years to pay cash for a new car for me and my family. Not only did I not get what I paid for; I got a financial liability I can't afford and a car that put me and my children at danger as we drove on the highway with rotted tires ready to blow underneath us. I'm not sure how these people sleep at night, but I'm sure it must take zoologic doses of tranquilizers to quell the shame of scamming those who already have so slim of margins. If you insist on buying a vehicle from this dealership, do yourself a favor... Have an independent mechanic perform an inspection and pull historic code readings from the computer to see if they've tried to cover any errors they would rather not rectify. Or, save yourself the time and keep on moving. Look elsewhere for integrity and ethical business dealings. More
