I bought a used car from Auto World last summer and have had nothing but problems with it ever since. The first thing that should've been a red flag was the fact that the car was advertised to be AWD when it was really RWD (I didn't realize this until I got it home...I assumed I wouldn't need to double check THAT at the lot!). Also, the salesman didn't know the answers to any of my questions, and they only went down $500 on the price, even though I was paying in cash that day. Within a month the power steering went out. I took the car to Auto World's service center because luckily I had a 90 day warranty. They kept the car for 2 weeks and it was very difficult to get in touch with someone to find out what was going on. When the car was finally "fixed" and I went to get it, they told me there was a $100 deductible; no one said anything about that before and it wasn't in any of the paperwork either. Since then I've had issues with the ABS and Stabilitrack system. I had to replace a wheel bearing and a faulty emissions valve, and all 4 tires were completely bald within 6 months of me buying the car. The electric back hatch no longer works; I can only open it manually. The compartment in the trunk that holds the jack and the back head rests was soaked with water, which resulted in rusting the jack to the point that it is unusable. The salesman I spoke to the most was friendly but he was the only one who was. Though I do partly blame myself for deciding to buy the car in the first place, I mostly hold the dealership responsible for selling a shoddy car, not fulling inspecting it before selling it, not disclosing all necessary terms and information, and for essentially being shady, deceitful people. I definitely would not recommend buying a car from this place, and I, personally, will never make that mistake again!
