AOW SELECT ANYTHING ON WHEELS DECEITFUL, UNFAIR, LIES, CON-ARTISTS FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida
I recently purchased a vehicle from AOW Select and was given the run-around. The finance manager tried to sell me a horrible warranty. What he didn't realize is that I have been in the business and know exactly what he was trying to do. He would have made money off the warranty and all the other "junk" fees that he tried sliding under my nose in the stack of papers if it weren't for me noticing. Within 2 months of having the vehicle it completely broke down. Would NOT start at all.
Every phone call email has gone unanswered. My salesman was fired and I have zero point of contact now. The repairs are in excess of $2,000 dollars and I am without a car. These people are the shadiest bunch of crooks I have ever encountered. I am taking legal action against AOW Select and its owners. I will be attempting to involve the state and its governing entities shortly. I gave them multiple attempts to make thing right with the vehicle and instead they seem to think they can hide behind "cars sold as is" scheme....
Please Be FOREWARNED that you will get SCREWED OVER BY AOW SELECT!!!!!! DO NOT BUY FROM HERE.
Please take advice from us unfortunates that have fallen victim to there shady, deceptive tactics.

You said you didn't buy his 'horrible warranty'.
That means you don't have a warranty and you bought the car 'as-is'. I would suggest you look it up because you don't seem to know what it really means. They can fix it if they want to but they have no obligation at all.
I have bought a couple old cars 'as-is' and never darkened the dealers door again after buying them, no matter what happened to them. That's the deal when you buy a car with no warranty.
A guy in the car business would know that.

" What he didn't realize is that I have been in the business and know exactly what he was trying to do. "
Given the rest of this report, I have a hard time believing that you know anything about the car business.
" Within 2 months of having the vehicle it completely broke down. Would NOT start at all. "
At this point, the standard question would be : What does your warranty say? Of course, a few lines later, it all becomes clear.
" instead they seem to think they can hide behind "cars sold as is" scheme. "
Scheme? The term "as is" is pretty standard terminology in the business and has a very specific meaning. The term is even used on the FTC buyers guide that you signed or initialled as part of the purchase.
Common sense should tell you (especially if you claim to have any knowledge of this business) that "as is" means you agree to buy it in whatever condition it is in, with no warranty. The FTC paper also tells you that. Knowing that they have zero recourse if the car later breaks down, most prudent buyers will have it checked out by a mechanic BEFORE buying anything "as is".
" I am taking legal action against AOW Select and its owners. "
I'm not sure what you expect any used car seller to do when your "as is" purchase refuses to start 2 months later. Without a warranty, you have no claim on them. I suspect your "legal action" is nothing more than wishful thinking. Good luck with that.
