BMW/Mini of Coconut Creek

Purchased a 2006 Certified Pre-Owned 530i in May 2006. A certified pre-owned vehicle covers major repair (engine, transmission, etc.) to 100K miles. I just went over 50K miles and needed engine repair alrea certified pre-owned vehicle covers major repair (engine, transmission, etc.) to 100K miles. I just went over 50K miles and needed engine repair already. When I took my car in for service the service advisor informed me that my repair is not covered under warranty. My car is not registered as pre-owned in the BMW database even though I have in my possession a certified pre-owned card. hmmmm very odd... I called BMW corporate service center and spoke to Megan to confirm that my vehicle is indeed not covered under warranty. BMW database showed that I have maintenance extended warranty but my vehicle is not a Certified Pre-Owned. I asked Megan what is the difference between maintenance extended warranty and a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle (when I bought the vehicle it stated that it was Certified Pre-Owned). She quickly pointed me to visit bmwusa website and click on Certified Pre-Owned. She prompted me to call Vista BMW (dealership where I purchased my car) and have them rectify the issue. Promptly called Vista BMW on 9/22/2009 and spoke to several managers before I was finally transferred to the used car manager Frank Lynch. I presented my case to him and he wrote down my information and VIN number and I haven’t heard from him. 9/23/09 called Frank, he was unable to locate my sale record and requested that I faxed my Certified Pre-Owned card and sale contract to him. Promptly faxed the requested items. Haven’t heard from him again, called BMW corporate service center and spoke to Elizabeth. Dwelling through this mess about certified and so called extended warranty. I finally realized that I have been lied to and deceived by Vista BMW used car sales 3 years ago. If the car is Certified Pre-Owned the purchased of maintenance extended warranty was unnecessary because a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle covers major repair to 100K miles except for oil change, etc. This is truly a case of unfair and deceptive practices. 10/02/09 Elizabeth from BMW service called and informed me that Vista BMW indicated that I was the original owner of the vehicle. A choleric outburst, asked her to get a car fax report. Unbelievable!!!! File a complaint with the attorney general of FL Last note, I also purchased Easy Care (Road hazards warranty) through Vista BMW, supposedly accepted by all BMW service centers. It has been a lie because none of the BMW service centers are willing to accept the warranty coverage except for Vista BMW. I have been lied to and deceived again. More

Purchased my 335i convertible at Vista and I can honestly tell you that it was a pleasant one. Lino from the get go was very up front. he gave me a price over the phone and that price was honored when I walk tell you that it was a pleasant one. Lino from the get go was very up front. he gave me a price over the phone and that price was honored when I walked in,(no surprise hidden fees and such). That alone left me amazed. I shopped around the other dealers in the area and all were within $300 off each other. 3 weeks later i had a issue with the brakes, took it to service and Lino himself walked me over to the Advisor-Jay and I explained the situation. I dropped vehicle off and got a loaner. Jay called me an hour later and gave me update on the car. Late that afternoon he called me again and told me my car was ready. I would prefer if nothing ever went wrong with the car but if it does this would be the way i would want everything to go. Nice And Smooth. Lino's a good sales person and Jay seems knowledgeable and efficient. These two are a good team! More
