I purchased a BMW E91 from BMW of West Chester with a dealer warranty, clean CarFax, and multiple dealer inspection reports—all claiming it was a reliable, well-maintained vehicle. I also worked there as More

BMW of West Chester responded

Pendelton, As an employee of our company at the time, you had the unique privilege to see and purchase our wholesale trade-ins. These are typically older, high-mileage cars, often with multiple mechanical needs: Vehicles that we do not wish to represent and market to our clients. Indeed, this was a 17 year old wagon with over 123,000 miles on it, not a car we put on our front-line and offer for sale. You came to me and expressed a desire to buy this wagon and I strongly cautioned against it. I advised you that it was unlikely to be a good, reliable source of transportation, and would be very costly to repair and maintain. I am aware of other colleagues here who gave your similar counsel, as well. Unfortunately, you elected to ignore this good advice and purchased the wagon anyway. Kevin Mahoney General Manager

Kevin, Your response isn’t just misleading—it’s damage control. Let’s be honest. You say the E91 wasn’t a retail vehicle, yet it was physically parked on the main inventory lot, listed for sale, and sold with a dealer warranty, a clean CarFax, and your own BMW of West Chester Vehicle Health Report—all stating there were no major mechanical issues. If this car was truly “not fit for the front line,” why was it on the lot? Why was it sold with a warranty? Why did your own staff—including techs and advisors—encourage me to buy it and speak confidently about its condition? You did mention concerns in private, yes—but none of that was reflected in the paperwork, the sales process, or in any formal disclaimer. In fact, your dealership’s formal documentation said the opposite. If you truly believed the car was unfit, you had the authority and responsibility to pull it from inventory. You didn’t. I bought that vehicle not recklessly, but out of necessity—and I did my due diligence. I reviewed all reports, asked informed questions, and trusted the professionals I worked with as a BMW Genius at your dealership. What followed speaks volumes: • The car vibrated dangerously under load and showed a check engine light. • Your service department told me “there’s nothing wrong with the transmission.” • They changed the transfer case fluid and told me to drive it 1,000 more miles. • The exact same problems persisted before and after that mileage (and I maintained continuous communication with sales and service about this). • Only right after the warranty expired did your team suddenly find failing torque converters, catalytic converters, and a failing transmission—and told me, verbatim, “you need to get out of that car as soon as possible.” Worse, when I asked about coverage, I was told: “And you want me to pay for it?” This wasn’t just a mechanical failure—it was a failure of ethics, accountability, and leadership. As both a customer and employee, I was misled, misdiagnosed, and dismissed. You’re trying to rewrite the story after the damage has been done.
