My 75 year old fathers car runs but needs more work so was in the market for another car but could only afford $5000. Owner Rafael told him he had a really nice 2005 Buick he would sell him and was telling him how great it looks and runs. He could not view because it was being repaired and inspected but my father asked if it was as nice as one parked out front and Rafael said it was even nicer. My father was so excited and without doing a CarFax or close inspection bought the car around 4pm. Later that evening we noticed cement on both sides, dash finish removed, filthy seats and belts, no silver cover (just a hole) to put key in and James said wouldn't start so had fixed and key made and does not work on trunk, other items such as damaged window tint on 3 windows and just very rough and abused and worried did not get oil changes. Next early morning went to discuss and request money back but Rafael would not come into the shop. James was surprised to see all the damages but said it was up to Rafael to give us our money back. We were told he would be in at 2pm but he stayed away all day and would not return my fathers call. His son and James said he was avoiding my father. I returned with my father at 3:30pm and his son had the tags and license plate. He was avoiding us in order to do this and not return the money. We really don't want any trouble but could not believe he is so hard up and cruel to deceive someone on a fixed income of social security. James said they would sand and repaint cement damage and put new seat belts and see what else they could repair but my dad who has taken his car there several times, does not trust them anymore and will never return.
