Lexus of Merrillville responded

We apologize for your negative experience. At Lexus of Merrillville, we are committed to fair, honest car buying and servicing experiences. We are very saddened to hear about your misfortune with the 2007 Explorer. I'm afraid there may have been some sort of misunderstanding. We are a Lexus dealer, we can't certify non Lexus products. When you say you purchased a Certified pre owned vehicle from us, it is unfair & inaccurate, and in order for it to fit that description, it would have to be a Lexus. When we take in a non Lexus product on trade, it undergoes a safety inspection. Its not an extensive 161 point inspection test like a Certified vehicle would go through. Having said that, that doesn't mean that a safety inspection is not sufficient. The vehicle passed the safety inspection and was therefore offered for sale as a 7 year old vehicle with no comprehensive warranty expressed or implied. When you take the vehicle in to a Ford dealer, they are going to recommend you change or repair every possible item that they find, even if its just starting to show age or wear. A lot of the work you have described above is considered maintenance. I.E., spark plugs, differential fluid, clean throttle body, alignment. In addition to that, you did not complain of any suspension problems, but when you took it in to the Ford dealer, however, they still recommended you replace the ball joints. They basically look over the vehicle and recommend anything that may be starting to wear. The service recommendations do not necessarily compromise the integrity or quality of the vehicle. Also, when you signed your paperwork in the business office, you were offered a warranty, but opted not purchase the coverage. We're not trying to play hard ball or be difficult, we are simply trying to clarify our stance. We find it a little unfair to be bashed in such a manner when the situation is very different than described by yourself. Having expressed our position, we would now like to try to help as much as we can. The work described above is something that can be done at a fraction of the cost you were quoted by the Ford dealer. We would be willing to extend to you the pricing that we receive from the shop that we sublet our non Lexus repairs to. You will be extremely happy to find that the repairs mentioned above can be performed at a substantial discount from $2600. I would venture to make an educated guess that it would be less than half of the quote you received. Please let me know if you are interested in this proposition and thank you for your business and your understanding.
