I bought a truck from CJ Prestman a year ago and was told it was a clean truck and that it had a clean history. I was worried that the miles were so low and was reassured that the vehicle wasn't driven very much. Today I went to trade in the truck and the dealership wouldn't take the vehicle because the history report showed that it had been stolen, totaled, and had the odometer tampered with and turned back. CJ Prestman knew all of this but lied to me to get the sale. Now I am stuck with a useless piece of junk trunk that's not worth anything! Beware of CJ Prestman they will lie to you and steal from you like they did to my family!

PLease contact me (((REDACTED))) We bought a Cadillac ESV 3000 miles on it with a clean title were given a clean car-fax. Someone scratched the bumper in a parking lot and when we took it in for a minor repair we uncovered tons of damage looks like car was totaled prior, fixed and sold as new. Paint peeling now off from a car wash, too many issues to mention . Please contact us we are planning a lawsuit and want to find people who had similar experience to join a class action lawsuit Thanks!

This is common to most used car dealers. Pay no attention to what a salesman tells you. Once you've signed the contract stating that you are buying the vehicle "as is", anything they told you goes out the window.
At the very least, when buying a used vehicle, you should have it checked out by a trusted mechanic (who will easily spot major repairs) and get a history report from a service like Carfax or Autocheck BEFORE you sign on the dotted line. Get your own report. Used car dealers have been known to either doctor the reports they show customers, or show them a report that is not for the vehicle being purchased.
