Donny Mills Auto Sales Sold me a vehicle that broke down after one week. Largo FL
I recently purchased an SUV. When I purchased it, they told me the only thing wrong with it was an emissions sensor. That was just a small drop in the bucket of what needed fixed. I had it checked out after I purchased it. It needed new sway bars for the suspension plus the emissions sensor and new brakes. So I had those fixed.
Then a week later, the engine started leaking oil and transmission fluid. So I took it to the mechanic again. Long story short, I needed new oil pan gaskets which parts are cheap but labor is very expensive. They had to remove the entire engine to replace those gaskets. I had to buy a whole new transmission as well.
Donny Mills Auto didn't care when I called, they just told me the vehicle was sold as/is. So I'm stuck with paying $7,800 in repairs for a vehicle that is only worth $5,000. So I actually paid 1.5 times the value of the vehicle just to make it drivable. If I were to do it again, I would find another dealer.

On the window would have been a "Buyer's Guide" which told you this was an "As Is" deal and any and all repairs were 100% YOUR responsibility. Additionally, YOU would have signed a disclosure which said the SAME THING. Yet you come here acting surprised or upset it was an "As Is" deal!
Did YOU even bother to READ what YOU were agreeing to BEFORE you agreed to it??? Secondly, if there was "only" a minor sensor problem with the car, why wouldn't they give you a warranty because it was such a trouble free car??? Don't come back throwing around the word "trust" as if that clears you of using COMMON SENSE!
YOU very obviously DID NOT READ what YOU were signing. That's not "trust", that's STUPIDITY! You can ONLY trust somebody you have a track record with! YOU chose to NOT read the paperwork. YOU chose to check out the car AFTER you bought it and NOT before! Absolutely incredible!!!

I only had it looked at afterward because they told me they did a full inspection on it. They said they do not fix their vehicles which was fine with me. But I was told specifically that the only thing wrong with it was the emissions sensor and I would be able to have it fixed for a "couple hundred bucks".
I was trusting the fact that they told me they had inspected it and everything else was fine. Of course I learned a lesson, I should have had it checked out first. However, they shouldn't have told me they inspected it when they hadn't or told me the only thing wrong was the emissions sensor when it was much more.
That is shady business practices. I can only hope I can help other people by telling them to have it checked first, regardless of what they are told by the dealer.

You bought a used vehicle and had it checked out AFTER you bought it? The process is to get them checked out BEFORE you buy them. Live and learn I guess
