bought a used mazda 6 from here 2 weeks ago from dealership. Went on test drive and smelled something but dealer insisted it wasnt our car and then showed us the clean car fax. Got back and was informed the car was "as is" but given the car fax I decided to try and go ahead but asked to bring the price down some because of that reason and because it had some serious rust spots but was basically told no bc of KBBV and I sadly wish I would of walked there...2 days later dealer text asking how I liked the car and I said so far seems ok...then litterally the next day the check engine light came on and we ended up find oil all through the air filter as well as all ur fluids being almost completely empty so we filled all those replaced the mass air flow system as well as pcv valve which fixed that issue but not the check engine light going off. We also had to replace all breaks as they were completely bare. I made an apt to take it to get it looked at and the day of appt the dealer txt me again asking about the car and so I informed him of all the issues so far but was very nice about it hoping they'd say to bring it in and let them take a look at it NOTHING (again i know bought as is but have some morals) well I get it looked at and am told there was a huge crack in one of the hose and another hose that wasnt even attached to where it was supposed to be. Considering this car came from a big dealer ship one would think it would of been looked over before putting it up for sale and so if they were aware of these issues there should of been no reason for them to come down on the price or heck even inform us of these issues considering we let them know this car would be driving to Atlanta when I move. It really is a Shame this is how business is done these days and again I understand it was as is but in all reality it shouldn't of even been priced what it was priced at unless they had fixed those issues so hopefilly now 2 weeks later I'll finally be able to actually use my car....if you are thinking about buying here please bring anyone you know that is car smart and knows what to look for bc this type of business is unacceptable in my eyes bc qfter all the money I've had to put into the repairs I've way over paided on this car by 2g that I didnt really have and am now wishing I would of just taken that money and added it to my car savings and bought a better car. Just watch buying as is bc they will say anything to make you believe your the one getting the deal (like showing the carfax for mine qnd how clean it was) and in reality your prob getting stuck w a car that is gonna have more cons then pros.....lesson learned on my part just want other potential customers to be aware of how they are
