I bought a 2000 Chevy Venture from a car lot, Southside Auto Sales in Soddy Daisy, TN three weeks ago. The sales man told me it would be a great car for me and my 2 small children. The car broke down 4 days ago and a licensed mechanic has determined it has a blown motor and that they suspected an additive had been used to ""patch"" the engine to get it sold. I called the car lot to explain the situation to them. They immediately became defensive, told me the car was ""AS IS"", and there was nothing they could do. I asked them if it was their standard practice to take advantage of people and the owner told me that I was being rude and that they didn't have to tell me anything other than ""AS IS"" and that I drove it twice before I bought it and bought it anyways. I told him that I would spread the word about his horrible car lot and he called me a ""Fat F***in' B***h"" and hung up the phone. After googling this business I find that this IS their common practice and it's been happening for years. Why is this place still in business?
