In late 2024 my 17yo daughter bought a car here. She had saved up 1000s of her own money to do so. (Commendable right?) She found a used one that looked nice with decent mileage. Bought it. Fast forward to July 2025. The car started having electrical problems. They couldn't "duplicate" the problem at Basil. She got tired of getting the run-around there so she took it to another dealer. They refused to put it up on the lift. Reason being the frame was so rotten they were concerned it would literally fall apart. A second repair shop confirmed this. Both counseled her not to drive it. Sadly she didn't go back to Basil and complain (it was past the lemon law) and sold it to a fixer-up guy for a $1000. (There was still some 1000s owed on the loan.) I wasn't able to help her at this time due to my mother being very ill and in & out of the hospital & nursing home 8x over 3 months. When we finally got mom back into a good place (Thank you God.) I decided to reach out to Basil. Let the know what happened and see what they'd do for her. I got my daughters permission, gathered all the paperwork/dealer pictures I could and visited the dealership. Long story short they told me they weren't going to do anything for her. (And, by law, they had every right to refuse.) But just because something is legal, doesn't make it right. This car NEVER should have been on the lot! The fact that it did is, (at the very least), gross incompetence! One of the last things the head manager said to me when I asked what he would do if somebody ripped his daughter off was... "I'd take it as a Lesson Learned." So I'm posting our experience with this dealership so anyone who is considering buying from this business can 'learn from our lesson' and find a more ethical company to do business with. You've been warned. More
