I would give this lion auto sales negative 5 star if i can.
2 weeks ago, I called them for a accord 2008 lx from them, so I came there at Sunday even they are in holiday, He promised the car have no problem and it is in good shape and the engine oil is good, and if there is any problem , he ll fix it for me. There are some cheaper accord 2008 on craigslist which is private seller, but I bought from this dealer because I trusted him.
After a day, I noticed that the car is not even in a good shape, the light cover is broken, power lock is broken, and lots dent and scratch at the back, and the engine oil is not even right (extreme dirty for a 08 car). I said to myself..ok i can fix them.
Unfortunately, the brake also have serious problem, it make extreme noise 30% of the time especially when I am on freeway, so I called the dealer(the 2nd day after i bought it), he said he would take a look at the problem when at the time I make the full payment. So, I came back to him for full payment, but he kept saying the car have no problem at all and REFUSED to check the brake in detail. Ok, I trusted him. However, the noise is getting more and more as i drive.
Then I came to an auto repair shop. They said the brake is not even in a good shape. I need to change adjust the brake pad, rotor and the caliper which cost around 500USD for parts and labor(for aftermarket parts, not even OEM). I thought they enlarge the problem in order to made money. Therefore, I asked two of my mechanic friend for advises, they also said it is a serious safety problem because the rotor is no good and inside the caliper is not properly releasing when i release the brake. And it is only a 2 year old with 39k milage!
One of my mechanic friend helped me to call the dealer and told him the problem. And the dealer refused to fix it and said the car is good and he can take it back. And He said he is in holiday and he is not avalible(he said he lives close to his shop and avalible anytime at the time i bought the car). But the thing is I ll lose around 2.5 thousand dollar on sales tax , registration and those fees. (i am furious)
So, i decided to keep it. My fulltime job is so intended and i usually work overtime. The reason that I still spend time on writing this is to warn u guys not to buy from this dealer. He is NOT HONEST and good at making excuses. If u really want buy from him, make sure u check everything, he ll ignore u once u paid.
