On May 16th 2020, I purchased a used vehicle, 2015 Mitsubishi Ralliart. I drove from Denver, Colorado to purchase this vehicle. After signing everything, 40 miles out on my way home, the transmission overheated. The vehicle had to be towed to another Edwards Mitsu lot to be diagnosed, but this was saturday evening and nobody would be in until monday. There was an offer to put me into a hotel for the remainder of the weekend, but I had to decline as, like most people, I had a job I had to return to. They stated to rent a vehicle to get home and they would reimburse me. I paid $560 for a uhaul truck to take one way back to Denver. Also had to rent another vehicle for an additional TWO WEEKS before the vehicle I had purchased was delivered, costing another $800. Now granted, I do appreciate that I was not charged for delivery. I had emailed my receipts for both rentals to my POC, Daniel Bowlds on July 3. Here we are over a month later, I have not received any word back or any reimbursements. Also, I was informed by Daniel and another member of the staff that a new engine and transmission had been installed in the vehicle. Multiple requests to provide maintenance records and proof of this repair have fallen to deaf ears. Under Iowa Code section 321.69, requires the seller of a used car that is less than eight years old to disclose in writing the extent of any damage to the vehicle incurred while in their ownership for which the repair costs were more than half of the pre-damage retail value. A new engine runs about 10k, transmission is 15k. parts and labor for install, about 25k on the high end. So either this information about the replacement is false and nothing was done or it was done and nobody wants to disclose, either way this is fraudulent practices. Furthermore, during the sale, Colorado tax wasn't accounted for so now my license plates are costing me $1300!!
