Complaint Review: Credit Connection Auto Sales

 I am a repeat customer of Credit Connection Auto Sales. My last two purchases were the worse. After getting a 2005 Honda accord several months ago, I realized it would need more repairs and inspection due in July. To cut down on this cost I returned that vehicle and got a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT for $700 down. I need basic low cost transportation to get me to work, school, the library and grocery store. While I don't expect luxury for the year, make, or model of this car I DO expect a vehicle that will run reasonably well. I do realize it's an older used car and general maintenance and some repairs are required. I purchased the vehicle on May 25, 2017. I drove it home to Harrisburg and the check engine light came on during the drive home and remained on. On June 6th , two days ago and less than two weeks from the date of purchase the alternator and battery needed replaced at a cost of nearly $500 with labor and parts. I am still required to make my first bi weekly payment on time regardless of the money spent on repairs and keep my car insurance of course. I like Credit Connection because you can get a car quickly without income requirements or a credit check. And bring the vehicle back to trade or turn in without penalty. That was a huge help in my current situation where I am essentially starting over and a car is needed to get a job, go to school or job training etc. What I don't like is that cars are cleaned up and quickly placed on the lot for sale. A basic battery or electrical system check would have revealed the bad alternator and battery. These items could be replaced before sale or at least the consumer could be warned. I recommend Credit Connection if you are credit challenged, need a vehicle quickly without all the hassles of traditional financing. But know and be prepared for additional repairs shortly after purchase. Can't wait to get on my feet again and get a good used car from a reputable dealer.
