They scammed me. They sold me a 2011 A5 at $300 over Blue Book top dollar value, with a bad turbocharger. Only they didn't disclose the condition of the vehicle. They represented it as being absolute best used condition. $12,550 for a car worth $9,000.
The Check Engine light came on ON THE WAY HOME. Now they want me to pay almost $1,500 to replace the turbo. They say they're doing me a favor. B.S. They already made more money than they legally should be allowed to. And now they want more money! I already paid them over top dollar for the car.
So shady. Not to mention they made me wait 3 hours to complete the purchase because they had Porsche buyers coming in to take delivery and "they're not the type of people that will wait".
They treated me like a true 2nd rate citizen and put the screws to me.
In response to their reply:
You want $1,500 to replace the turbocharger. I can purchase that turbo for $900 and have it installed for far less that $600. How are you doing me any favors? You're just trying to make even more money off of me. It's really deceitful.
And on top of that let's talk about "AS-IS" condition. You did NOT disclose to me that it needed a turbocharger. You did not honestly and accurately represent the "AS-IS" condition of the vehicle. You said you were selling me one thing. I paid you for one thing. You delivered something different entirely. The Check Engine light came on ON THE WAY HOME. I KNOW you guys cleared the engine codes and put it on your lot. Then, your salesman, Ashley Lobo, told me "if a car is even questionable, it doesn't go on our lot. We send it to auction". Outright bold-faced lie.
Also, 25% of $4,500 does not equal $1,481. You guys are just making up numbers as you go.
