Lexus of Kendall - Miami Florida Ripoff, Sold a $4,000 car for $18,000 Liar and a thief
Lexus of Kendall, 10943 South Dixie Hwy, Miami, Florida. They sold me a 1997 Cadillac Eldorado that they represented to be in "Excellent and like new condition". I purchased the vehicle on Jan.9, 2002 and paid full retail.
I found a large oil spill on my driveway the following day. I brought the car to my local Cadillac dealer and what they found was that Lexus of Kendall sold me a vehicle with an unrepairable engine. The Cadillac dealer went on to say that"any half wit Lexus mechanic would have discovered this problem on a trade-in inspection".
The cost quoted to me was $10,500 to replace the engine. I requested a flatbed return of the vehicle to Lexus of Kendall so that the previous owner could utilize his 75,000 mile GM warrantee, on a vehicle that had only 56,000 miles on the car. Furthermore, the warrantee was still in effect.
Even though I had not yet registered the car, they ignored my request until the warrantee ran out one month later.The previous owner of the vehicle informed me that he received $10,000 under Kelly Blue Book trade-in value.
This leads me to believe that Lexus of Kendall knew about the bad engine.If that isn't out right fraud, theft by deception or stealing, I don't know what is.
It appears that these Lexus dealers are nothing more than robbers of the public. Over my life time I have purchased over two dozen cars and this the first time I have ever had fraud committed against me.

Just a quick note to say that the Lemon Law in Florida and Georgia applies to NEW car purchases ONLY. The only recourse you have for a used car is through an attorney or your local attorney general.

In Florida, there is a lemon law that protects consumers who purchase vehicles. You can find it on line at onlinesunshine.com, or contact your attorney. The dealer should be forced to take the car back and refund your money.
