Absolute Dishonesty here. I bought a Mini Cooper from Tim Dahle and was told by the sales rep that it would cost an extra 900$ for having gone through the shop, to make sure everything was in working order and would pass emissions. I specifically asked the sales rep if the mechanic noticed anything that needed fixing and I was told NO multiple times. So I bought the car and drove it home that night. Next morning I had a 5 inch circle of oil stained on my driveway. I took this car to a trusted mechanic who told me I had 5 oil leaks!!!(Oil Cooler, Oil Filter Housing, Turbo Oil Feed Tube, Valve Cover and Oil Pan) He even remove the air box and inter cooler tubes to show me 1/4 inch of oil build up on parts of the engine Tim Dahle couldn't clean off. I called my salesman upset and he said there was nothing he could do since the car was used and that it was an "unfortunate mistake". So I am currently having another shop, fix my new car for 1700$. I guarantee Tim Dahle knew this car had issues and instead of fixing them, just passed the issue onto another customer. I even received a text from another sales rep who tried to sell me a different car and stated that I shouldn't let 1 bad experience ruin my outlook on Tim Dahle. That is where you are wrong, I HATE dishonest companies, and will do everything I can to turn as many people away from this dealer as possible. You guys have robbed me of 1700$ because you chose to sell a broken car instead of fixing it.

Well I called Ernie Willits and all he wanted was to hear what happened. Not fix anything, not compensate my losses, just asked what happened and that was it. He did tell me that used cars DONT go through any sort of inspection. They just test emissions, and put it on the lot. I WOULD NOT BUY A USED CAR FROM TIM DAHLE!!!! You could very easily end up buying a lemon like I did only to have Tim Dahle say "sucks to be you! We got your money and thats all we care about."

I have gotten a bit of satisfaction from turning 4 sales away from your dealership though. I love the digital world for that reason. I can tell thousands of people about your dishonesty and maybe when it costs you enough money, you will change.
