Bud Clary Honda of Moses Lake

If you shop at Discovery Honda, don’t expect your car to be in good condition, don’t expect them to help you out if you have problems and certainly don’t expect them to return your calls after the sale is d be in good condition, don’t expect them to help you out if you have problems and certainly don’t expect them to return your calls after the sale is done. I purchased a 2006 Lotus Elise from Discovery Honda and had the car shipped to Illinois. I quickly found dozens of issues with the car, some of which were identified at inspection and supposed to have been fixed. It also had signs of being in an accident, which I had specifically asked about before buying the car. Within the first day the car started miss-firing. About 1000 miles later the engine needed to be replaced. We found later that the engine had been rebuilt before and done so badly. Much of the engine wasn’t salvageable before it was initially rebuilt. It appears as if it was rebuilt only to hold together long enough to sell. I reported my engine problems to Jacie Daschel the owner of Discovery Honda and didn't receive a response for nearly a month. After that I was only met with responses saying that I bought the car "As Is" and they had no obligation to help me out. Once I asked them about the rebuild, they stopped responding to my emails completely. I have since emailed them 6 times over a nearly 3 month period, without a single response. I was lied to about the cars condition and I've since spent over $10k getting this car to what it was supposed to be when I received it. Avoid Discovery Honda! I wanted to address the response from Discovery Honda below: The "goodwill offer" was well under 10% of what I had to pay to repair my car. I'd rather turn down an offer like that and maintain my right to share my experience with others. As for why the engine failed, their account is incorrect. The engine was sent to a shop that is an expert in the 2ZZ-GE engine. They found that it had been rebuilt badly and there was nothing I could have done to prolong it. The engine block was totaled before it had been rebuilt by Discovery Honda or by whomever they purchased it from. The engine burning oil was a side effect of the engine damage and was not the cause. There is no doubt that it was a preexisting condition. I have since sent Discovery Honda pictures that prove this and they still haven't returned my emails in months. As for purchasing the replacement engine from xxxxxx Wrench Racing prior to notifying them, that also isn't true. I notified them well in advance. It also was not an "upgrade racing engine". It was a stock used engine with similar miles to my car. To help put this in perspective; if I had picked this car up at the show room and drove it home, I wouldn't have made it out of the state before my check engine light came on and I would have been half way home when the engine completely died. To top that off, one of the many missing parts was the tow hook. I had already responded to them about every single one of these points months ago. So, they knew what they were saying wasn't true when they posted it. More
