If I could give them a zero I would. Do not buy from them! I searched a long time for a vehicle and I finally found one I really wanted but it was out of state. I bought it on May 7, 202 Do not buy from them! I searched a long time for a vehicle and I finally found one I really wanted but it was out of state. I bought it on May 7, 2025. My dad picked it up for me. The salesman gave me out-the-door price, but when I got all of my documents it was $2,000 more because the financial person sold my dad more items. I was the one buying the vehicle, and I didn’t agree with that. I got my vehicle home and after 2 weeks of driving it, the transmission went out. I called the salesperson and he acted like they wouldn’t do anything about it. Then I emailed them and brought up Lemon Law. He said since it is registered in a different state, the New Jersey Lemon Law wouldn’t apply, but he agreed to fix the transmission. Meanwhile, I took it to a transmission shop who said they don’t work on 10-speed transmissions. I then took it to one of our local Ford dealerships who informed me that it needed a new transmission and that the sunroof was broken. They gave me a quote for the transmission and sunroof. I called this dealership back and they told me to ship the vehicle to them. I paid $700 for it to be shipped back to them on June 7, 2025. I called on June 12, 2025, to get an update on it and the salesman went off on me and told me, “I told you not to take it to someone else” and screamed the whole time. I was so upset. Why would any salesman treat a person like this? So after that I had my father call to check it. On July 9, 2025, I was informed that it was finally done. However, they only rebuilt the transmission and not the sunroof. The salesman told us it was a new transmission. I paid $642 for the vehicle to be shipped back and now have to have someone fix the sunroof. After all that, I finally received my plates on August 29, 2025 from this company. My advice is, don’t ever buy from them unless you can have a trusted mechanic go over every detail of the vehicle before signing paperwork! More
