If you answer my question (third request), then I will provide you with information that will make you 99% confident that you are wrong about your claim that I work for Austin's Affordable Autos. Call my bluff by answering the question: Did you report the use of force to the Vancouver police department?

I will choose to respond to your recent rebuttle only to say that after this post, I am done with responding.
Buyer beware..... do your research. My wife and I unfortunately did not, just as MANY, MANY others did not. And we were all ripped off beyond belief. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM AUSTIN'S AFFORDABLE AUTO. That is my only message.
OPINION: I don't believe for one second that you have zero stake in this company... you are either a salesman (and I have a feeling I know which one) or possibly the owner Matt himself. It has been proven several times that Austin's writes fake reviews for the sake of counteracting the plethora of negative reviews they receive. So again.... integrity is lost on this company.
And lastly, I bust my a*s for my family... I always have and always will. I am a college graduate working in the science and manufacturing industry, my wife in the home health care industry. We are normal, hard working people with 4 children who were looking for a good deal without breaking the bank. We, and most people we know were hit hard by the recession. Intregrity and credit worthyness has nothing to do with this situation.

Why would a person with integrity purchase a vehicle from a subprime lender? Could it be your credit history implies questionable integrity? Of course it does.
You failed to respond to my question, "Did you report the use of force to the Vancouver police department?" Is it because you were not forced to sign the AS-IS agreement? Of course that's why.
I believe you were ripped off but I just don't understand why someone wouldn't pay a mere less than 2% additional to hire a qualified mechanic to check out the vehicle prior to purchase ($150 is only 1.75% of $8700). Apparently your "newly expanded family" wasn't worth the few extra bucks.
I have never been employed by any auto dealer so the "scumbag" remark was not appreciated. I can live with the "jackass" comment because I was a bit rough on you. Good luck on your next auto purchase, sap.

Apparently I struck a nerve with this salesman who is obviously the Austin's Affordable Autos review watch dog and rebuttal guru. Your sarcasm is funny. I appreciate it. And as I am not and unintelligent neandherthal, I completely understand what "As is" means, but with that said, you scumbag, dishonest piece of trash, what you do not understand is common decency and respect for your customers in regards to both their hard worked for finances and their safety. I wonder how your sarcasm will fit into a conversation that involves young children or a family being injured or worse because you knowingly and willfully sold them a damaged vehicle like you do to EVERY other customer?!! I will continue writing reviews condemming this business and make my payments as scheduled because I DO have integrity and signed on the bottom line. You will not repo MY car as you have MANY others so you can patch it, disguise its issues and resell it again...
DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE FROM THESE GUYS! YOU WILL REGRET IT WITHING HOURS!
Happy motoring yourself....jackass. ;)

"they force you to sign 5 different documents"
It is unlawful to force someone to sign a document against his or her free will. Did you report the use of force to the Vancouver police department?
"one salesman was screaming in the background while I was on the phone with another salesman 'AS IS MEANS AS IS JACKASS'"
It does appear that you are having difficulty comprehending the concept of an AS-IS sale even after signing five documents that state you accept the terms (unless you were actually forced to sign).

"We took the car to a reputable Volvo mechanic"
Too bad you didn't do that before the sale.
