They sold me a 2001 dodge neon, claiming it was in great condition and exceeded the bluebook value of $2,000. Paid them $2500 cash for the car. Didn't even make it home before one of the doors broke and was stuck open, their fix for this was to tape it shut. The car was all over the road, leaked oil and coolant at an extremely large rate. Got home, went to look into the loud noise that it was making and was able to stick a screwdriver straight through the muffler, no effort whatsoever just went right through it. Checked the fluid levels, it was already half way down on oil (I only had a 5 mile ride home, had to assume it was half way down because it didn't read on the dipstick at all, and I had to add 3 quarts to get it back up to full...), and completely out of coolant. Which means they just filled it at the dealer and was hoping I wouldn't notice. Took it to Firestone, they said the car needed at least $3500 worth of work (but would of been more because the rear break and suspension parts would not come off due to excessive rust), and because of all the rust MIGHT of been worth $500 after all that mechanical work. They stuck 2 quarts of oil in my back seat at firestone, which they never told me about but was very nice of them because they never charged me for that oil, plus they filled the oil up aswell in their shop. Called north star to try and get my money back for the car, they laughed at me and simply told me they might be willing to do a $500 trade in for a different car on it, which is messed up when I had just paid them $2500 cash for it that same day. I traded it in at a different honest dealer (and got a great deal i might add) only got 100$ trade in for it. Took over a year to get the title because northstar ford wrote the wrong address on the title, so I had to apply for a new title and pay the fee along with that to finally get it so the dealer I traded it in to could simply scrap the car, which is what he really wanted from the start and he was stressing that the whole time. Went online afterward and put the report on ripoff websites, and got a call from northstar ford threatening to call the police and press charges against me for putting those reports online. Contacted the police force, found out that there is no such way that northstar could ever press charges, as I simply never did anything wrong. I gave the police my number to contact and my address, just in case, and I never heard back from them. Bottom line folks, this place is crooked. They should be avoided at ALL costs. They really should be completely shut down, to lighten the burden on this community. I'm telling you right now your better off walking everywhere rather than going into this place and getting ripped off. This may of happened 3 or so years ago, and I am still getting their emails about their used vehicles despite the many conversations I have had with their manager to take me off their list and never bother me again. Northstar, if your reading this, their is simply no used car deal you could EVER make that would fix this. I paid you $2500 CASH for this car and got 100$ trade in and was lucky to even get the 100$ trade in I might add! The only thing that would ever work towards getting those reports torn down, is well, you already know, getting me my money back! I have already told your manager this over the phone, several times over the past few years (while trying to get removed from your "email" list), so it completely ghosts me as to why I am still getting emails from your company about the used cars you have for sale. You should know by now, I am not and will never be interested in anything you now have or ever will have for sale.
