Car Mix Motor Co. Dan Fishell and Hassan Amin Bait and switch game Phoenix Arizona
I purchased a BMW from this establishment on 12th of June 2013. I dealt with Dan Fishell at first. The car was priced at 7999.00. It needed new tires and had 2000. More miles on it than my 1994 BMW. This one was a 2001. We agreed on an ‘out the door’ price of 7500. 00. We had finished all of the paper to even having the ‘temp tag” printed out and were just waiting for my bank which does not have a branch in AZ. To clear the payment. In the meantime Hassan the lot owner came in. Started screaming immediately at me, and Dan. Saying, car not sell for that, Dan should have known better, I will fire him, here take $100. Dollars go have lunch sorry not sell car. Well he and Dan went into the next room the yelling stopped Dan left for vacation I then asked Hassan how much for new out the door price. $8200.00 was his ‘new” price, then he tells me he will list it on eBay get more, that hardtop alone worth $15,000- hardtop is worth max $5,000 and I told him this. We left I decided I really wanted the car as it is a hard one to find. Called him told him to start the paper work and got to sit around waiting for my bank to clear new payment. And yes Hassan they DO have a record of the first attempt so it is on record that all of this is fact. We got to listen to his ranting for about 3 more hours. Of course he took the ‘lunch money” back as I did purchase car at new inflated price. This was the worst experience I have ever had buying a car and I have bought many. I used to own a restaurant so customer service and return also referral business is important to most service, sales related businesses. Check reviews on Yelp and see just how unimportant any kind of honesty or civility is to any of the people involved with this dealership. They give pre-owned dealers a black mark that most do not deserve but this one deserves to be reprimanded , or even closed down.

Don't be so quick to count on Car Fax alone

Here is an excellent example of why car fax, checking VIN numbers, etc is only a small part of the equation. Before I went to AZ. To look for a car I looked here and the salesman and I sat down to do the finance for a trade on my old BMW. It came up with a clean Car Fax report. It had been vandalized and the repair cost was $3000 and change. It had also been hit at an intersection and the side took 3 weeks to repair. I told him this and he did not seem surprised nor did he tell me the price would be less. So, basing your selection of a vehicle on a VIN search or car fax or any of the others is a dicey proposition at best. You need to know about the vehicle you are looking for. Thing’s to look for according to the mileage, rust, signs of bad repairs mechanical or cosmetic, I have been doing this for many years. I know what I am looking for. When they try to tell me “oh its worth much more than that”… I know it usually isn’t. This time it just happened to be worth what I ended up paying, actually a bit more. Did I like how the ‘deal” came about? No, of course not. My main goal here was to try and keep someone that does not know how this game works from really getting ripped off. They knew I did and that it wasn’t going to go much further before I did walk . I also reported them to the proper agencies. I hope if you are planning on buying a car you do your research. If you really do go in based on car fax or whatever other paid entity you chose I wish you luck down the road. By the way, have you ever put up with extra BS because you knew in the end it would be worth it? In any situation?

After the owner treated you that way, Why did you continue to do business with him ? More consumers need to use their boots and walk away when they're treated like crap! Rewarding a business your business after they treat you like crap is not ever going to motivate them to make changes.
go google
Car Mix Motor Co reviews. Look what pops up on the FIRST PAGE.
Car buyers need to RE THINK they're thinking when it comes to going out and doing research on buying a car from any dealership.
By the way I think you need to go Google the vehicle Identification number.
Did you go to Carfax or AutoCheck to do so research on the car before you bought it ?
When it comes to the auto industry too many people squeal after they've been screwed not when somebody's trying to screw them ! From what I have seen on the Internet if I were you I would start putting some serious money away and getting ready to pay for some repairs.
Too many car buyers need A CHECK - UP FROM THE NECK-UP before they go shopping. WORD TO YOUR MOTHER DOG!
