This is a warning to all soldiers sailors airman and marines in the Norfolk or any area. Do not buy a used car from a used car dealer. Go to the New car dealer used lots and look at certified used cars. Do the research on the vehicle, ask for a carfax report, talk to your peers before signing any contract. Know your rights!! To read and understand everthing on any contract! To a 3rd party review of any major purchase contract before signing. 3 business days by law to cancel any contract. Get a buyers guide from the bank, credit union or Family Service Center before you shop. Take some one you trust with you when making a major contract purchase. Call your parent(s) before signing. Sleep on it. If the deal seems to good to be true, guess what!? It is!!!
I would like to thank the salesman at MOTORSPORTS INC Va Beach Va. For providing my son with a $12000 paperweight. Sold him a 12 year old sporty import, possibly altering his online NFCU application to raise the price from $8500 to $12000. Charged $705 for tax title tags and stole $2795 for a totally worthless warranty from Lifetime Engine Defender (tm) and Warranty Administration Services, (Redding Calif) The dealer took the car for 2 weeks to fix electrical problems. When the rear main seal blew and the engine seized the warranty was denied the claim. "Warranty does not cover seals and gaskets or damage done due to loss of fluids.
W.A.S has a good BBB rating, dont believe it. It only covers internal engine parts! Not "everything under the hood" as stated by the salesmen. The car was purchased in Mar 08, seized in mid Jun I found out last week of Jul 08. The son has to go to Navy Legal next week. If it looks good for a suit I'll be goin to Norfolk from Missouri and then Redding Calif if needed. If it doesnt, You'll find my across the street from Motorsports and/or their affiliates with a sign and a bullhorn. How many lost sales can I cost them before they pay the $5500 to remotor or buy it back for the full $12000.

Update 3 Sept 08. After visiting the general manager to discuss the deal. The dealership agreed to buyback the vehicle "AS IS" for the full purchase price, however, It cost us $900+ for flight, room, and rental car, $250 for a letter of Rescission and Release from a lawyer, and we agreed to pay a $838 fee for towing and impound as the vehicle was mysteriously impounded the day after my son deployed. A $12000+ mistake was turned into a $2000 mistake. The dealership made good a very bad deal. Anyone making a major purchase should take the time to research the item, read all of the fine print, have the contract reviewed by a third party before signing. Any verbal statements by the salesman become void once you sign. Don't be affraid to haggle the price of any and all charges. It's always best to sleep on it before you make any major purchase. When in doubt walk away. Proceed with caution when arranging for financing through a dealership. Always check your insurance rate before you buy!! Have your mechanic check the vehicle over and review any warranty before you sign. There's a bunch of warranty companys that only cover internal engine part failures, that's about 3% of all engine failures. Look at it this way, a vehicle is a tool, purchased to get you from point A to B. Do you really need to spend money you dont have, to buy something you dont really need, to impress people that dont really care about you anyway.

The general manager responsible for this dealership sounds like an okay guy. He is working on resolving the problem with a seized motor. He has offered what seems to be a reasonable solution for repairing this car and getting back on the road. I based this complaint on the salesman saying my son was on his own, when a call to the general manager would have resolved this problem. I do wish this report would go away, my bad for not reading the fine print here. Motorsports Inc and their associates have been doing business with the military for years and were shocked to read my initial complaint. I have be assured that we can resolve this issue in a timely and cost effective manner.

Second sentence should have read: Do not buy a car from this dealer. I am not accusing all used car dealers of being shady.
