Review of Clayton Autos Group

**July 8,2019 My Response to business reply** Well...

**July 8,2019 My Response to business reply** Well Clay, we got there, I walked in asked a guy that was walking around if he was Clay, he said "No I'm looking for him too and I'll tell him you are looking for him too" So we proceeded to inspect the 4runner I drove two hours to look at based on your word of no salt rust or corrosion. We looked it over solid for 15 minutes, popped the hood crawled under and yet you never came out because you probably knew what I would find LOL You're right I was aware the vehicle was from the Northeast but you also assured the owner must have kept it clean for how well it looks and NO salt rust. Man that frame had been so covered up with paint that you could smell the paint odor just standing by the car. The entire cross member below the radiator was almost ate away with rust, not to mention all one had to really look at was the spare tire underneath and how ate and corroded it was. every clip,bolt, and harness in the engine bay was flaking with corrosion. So yeah Buyer's BEWARE. Clay has totally different definitions.

The previous reviewer hit the nail on the head here!!! The Owner ASSURED me a 4runner had minor surface rust and just surface rust spots in the engine bay and no heavy salt rust oxidization and someone had kept it very clean.... so I drive two hours on his "word". Got there, Clay never greeted us and I asked for him when we arrived. Went ahead and looked at the 4runner and immediately noticed to heavily sprayed under carriage. However the spare wheel, fuel pan cover, Front cross member, and engine bay was all I needed to see. HEAVY HEAVY rust and a majority all covered with paint. So I simply got back in my car and left just to chalk another one off for a car dealer thinking people are blind lol Pictures attached of him assuring only "surface rust"
