Ive bought 3 vehicles from these guys and thought for - Berto

Ive bought 3 vehicles from these guys and thought for sure I'd be a lifelong client, the owner seems to be a great guy, the salesman Dan seems to be a great guy, but I'm at a loss here. The vehicle I bought is a 2018 Audi SQ5 for over $40,000 it was my dream vehicle and the owner actually got involved in helping me get in the vehicle. Super xxxxxxto him. Shortly after I got it home I noticed a pulsing vibration through the floorboards while going straight and more aggressively when I turn right. Nothing happens when turning left. I thought it was nothing, maybe needed the tires balanced, so I had that done with no effect to the vibration. I notified Lake City of my problem then, maybe 1 at the most two weeks into my ownership of the vehicle. I brought it to multiple garages including an Audi dealership for diagnosis. Everyone kept saying wheel bearing (which would be odd having a wheel bearing go at such low milage 64k) so I wound up having the rear left replaced twice and the front right replaced once. I also had the tires replaced and a rear axel replaced. Lake City assisted with I think two of the 3 bearing replacements. None of these repairs had any effect on the condition of the vehicle. Eventually expert staff at the Audi dealership got involved and gave me a correct diagnosis, the issue is the transmission in the front differential area. I spoke to a transmission specialist, described the symptoms and he seconded the diagnosis, transmission specifically the front differential bearing. The thing that bothers me is that I now know that I bought the vehicle with a faulty transmission. Its documented that I was attempting to diagnose and repair this within the first few weeks of ownership. Now I own an over $40,000 vehicle that has a failing transmission. At the rate the vibration is getting worse I know Im driving on borrowed time. I asked for assistance, which I think is reasonable, and they offered to help me find someone to repair it. No financial assistance on a car I bought that had a faulty transmission from the get go. So I'm at a loss here, the buying process is great, they make it easy, they even found me a killer interest rate. But now knowing that the car I bought was doomed from the beginning? Did they know this? Honestly I don't believe they did. Are they hoping I just go away? I don't know about that either, but probably that's the case. I do know that Maine has an "Implied 4 year warranty" where the seller promises the product offered for sale will do what its supposed to. Also the fact that this issue was noticed immediately but was unable to be diagnosed until several months later. I am not sure about any of this, it sure feels like I'm not wrong that the dealership should have some accountability, and unfortunately I feel the only way I'm going to get anywhere is to proceed with legal representation in the court of law. I have loved being ready for a new vehicle and having Lake City Exports be my go-to website to shop at and knowing that relationship is being soured and feeling left out in the cold is extremely disappointing.

I have bought three cars from Lake Region over the past ten years. I can't imagine going anywhere else. The prices are very reasonable and they offer a great selection of Subaru's, along with a few other foreign makes. Tom is easygoing and does not pressure at all. They let you take it out and will answer any questions about the cars. They are thorough with the mechanical inspections and seem to strive to go above and beyond when possible to make the car right. I will buy from them again. Just a down-to-earth honest family business.

They made it super easy and worked with me to get the truck I wanted. They even waited a few days till I could hear back from my bank.

May this NOT happen to you - DeeplyDissatisied

In June 2013 I took delivery in Arizona of a classic car from Motorland Vintage America in Maine. The car had been advertised at hemmings.com and the dealer's Web site described the car as being very good to excellent in every respect, and they told me there was no rust. My mechanic soon found significant rust, no rear brake function, non-original engine, and evidence of a collision. An independent certified appraiser valued the vehicle at $6,000 less, or 40% less, than the purchase price. For months I have tried to get Motorland to pay me the difference, but they refuse. If you know of anyone looking to buy a classic car, please share this experience. Thank you.

I usually avoid dealerships, but Norms treated me very well. Asking around, my neighbor boasted how well they are. That speaks volume to me. This is the place where you know you are going to be treated nicely. Carmine is very attentive and not pushy. He even surprised me with a better rate than my credit union (who I've been a member for 30 years). Please feel comfortable knowing you'll be taken care of.

I contacted the dealer through their cars. - jintrieri

I contacted the dealer through their cars.com online ad for a Jeep Wrangler. They never replied.

When I went to the RJB& Son they were very nice and helpful to my wife and I. My friend called to see if Beau was going to be there. He called my friend back and said he would stay there for us. We test drove the vehicle and he gave us paperwork to fill out so we would be ahead of the loan process. Mr. Blais said he would meet us at his office at 9AM on Saturday to help us with the loan process. My wife and I are now proud owners of a 2004 Sonata. I honestly believe this would not be possible without the assistance of Beau Blais.

Spectacular - New truck

Bill Carr Jr was our salesman he went above and beyond our expectations to help us purchase our new truck. He was patient with us answering all our questions and returning all our calls. The truck was for my husband, I own a Toyota Camry when I decide to get a new one I will definitely seek out Bill Carr Jr.

I purchased a 2004 Isuzu NPR box truck with 47430 miles on the recommendation of a Vermont dealer from Stiman's Used Truck and Equipment in Winslow, ME. I picked up the truck and drove it to back to Vermont on a Sunday, called Stiman's on the following Tuesday to tell them I had a feeling the rear end was bad. I specifically asked Chuck if there was anything wrong with the truck that would give me any mechanical problems, before I went to pick it up that I should know about. He either told a bald faced lie in telling me there was nothing wrong or he doesn't know anything about what he is selling. They said they would make it right when I initially talked to them, including giving me a full refund, just let them know what I wanted to do. Once I agreed to take my money back they refused to do that. They told me to have it brought to an Isuzu dealer 90 miles from where the truck is garaged to have it looked at to determine when the rear end got damaged, even eluding to my damaging the rear end? So who is going to pay for the $475.00 - $500.00 towing bill? I already paid in full for the truck to use for my delivery business and don't even have 500 miles in the drivers seat. This truck isn't making my business money it is costing my business money and David & Chuck at Stiman's are very aware of this. They have showed they could care less about their customers by the way they are ignoring me and refusing to do anything to fix this problem or come to a workable solution. Bottom line if you buy from these guys your can expect to get ripped off, at least that is my experience with them. With 474 miles on it from the time I picked it up and the truck is useless, as in it won't move. I guess the $3000.00 to replace the rear end will be my problem. Stiman's problem is they have a delivery business owner / driver who travels all of New England, New York, New Jersey as well as long runs into Florida who is going to spred the word about this dealer. Stiman's will never see another penny of my money and every person I run into who has delivery or trucking businesses will be aware of what they can expect when they do business with the Stiman's Used Trucks and Equipment in Winslow, ME. On a side note they have put another dealer right in this mess. When this other dealer recommended this dealer for the truck I was looking for they put their reputation on the line. It will be tough now to consider this dealership for any of my future business.
