Ok, I don't usually leave reviews however I feel that I owe any potential buyers a bit of a heads up. First, I want to say that I did not purchase a vehicle from here. Second, I have nothing to gain or lose from my review. My son saved money to buy his first car and their website showed a few promising vehicles. The few that he was interested in, after seeing the cosmetic condition they were in I didn't even bother to start them up or take a test drive. They did have two Jeep's that had potential until further inspection. Jeep 1: Grand Cherokee Laredo-- When I first got into this one, the lot guy told me that it had a bad control arm that was scheduled to be repaired. The engine did sound very good and was very clean. While attempting to put the 4 wheel drive selector into neutral/4 low it would not budge from 4 high. When I mentioned this to the lot guy he said well that's because of the control arm right...so I told him, nooo that means there is something wrong with the transfer unit. So he then went and got Adam to talk to me and Adam tried telling me that it will only shift if you move the vehicle a bit. So while trying to demonstrate (by driving it in circles in the parking lot) I noticed the tail pipe moving excessively. When he stopped he assured me it shifts in all wheel and 4 wheel drive with no problem but didn't show me it would shift into neutral or 4 low, because it wouldn't. At this point he tried to make it seem as if I didn't know about 4X4 vehicles, he asked me if I ever had one and I pointed at my Ram 1500 and said well yeah. I told him I have pretty much only owned 4 wheel drive vehicles my entire life including a manual shift 4 wheel older Bronco. So Adam got out of the Jeep and I mentioned the exhaust bouncing around, he looked in the wheel well and said oh yeah, there is some rust there. I couldn't believe his response, especially because the exhaust pipe was on the other side, the rust he was seeing was the gas tank...which when I got down to look at it I couldn't believe the tank hadn't fallen out. At this point he started poking/pulling rust from the lower strut bracket and chunks of rust fell. As for Jeep #2 which was a Liberty, the inside smelled of cigarettes really bad and when my wife mentioned it to the lot guy he said, well after you run the ac for a while it goes away..... Adam said he wasn't aware of the amount of rust issue with Jeep#1.
So my over all view on this place is to be cautious if you consider buying something. The pricing of the vehicles is quite high for the condition they are in. They are selling $1000.00 to $1500.00 vehicles for $2900.00 to $8000.00. I was very disappointed as a lot of their reviews were positive. A lesson I taught my son today that he got to witness first hand is, if something seems to be too good to be true than it probably is. Just a total waste of gas and time travelling.
