I have a car with them currently, I can say honestly I dont know you but believe what you say. 1st if you have ever worked in colletions before these type of people like Diane(ex crackhead) and Ira are very common, they do the things they do because they dont have many options in life! I decided to get out of collections because of this same petty mentality also Im assuming youre a african american female which also got you even more harsh treatment, these people in collections at this facility are some of the lowest of the low collection scum ive EVER encountered!
I understand the job has to get done but they are a level above rude while doing it and honestly the people that work there all probably live in cobb county acworth, kennesaw, catersville which is the home of the REDNECK! Some of these people have NO future and will do this until they pass from this earth, they are misreble and love to see that pain inflicted on others especially blacks!
The chances of me seeing these people outside of kennessaw will probably not happen but if I ever see Ira or Diane out lets just say we going to have a come to jesus meeting on the spot and a whole lotta lives or gonna get changed that day! But I digress, much like you I have learned my lesson from patronizing a business of this magnitude, just thank god you dont have to deal with people of this caliber any longer, I know I wont.

Sorry to hear about your troubles but when you're in a tight spot financially the last used car you want is a fancy import that may require expensive parts and costly labor charges down the road. It is much cheaper to get a domestic or run-of-the-mill Japanese import because when it breaks down you will be able to get dirt-cheap parts from a boneyard or generic brand.
One of the wisest investments one can make is to acquire the basic knowledge required to know how to spot potential trouble when considering the purchase of a used car. It's easy enough to access info about the weaknesses of a particular make and model so start with that, then learn how to detect potential serious trouble on a specific vehicle based on symptoms. Plenty of online forums and paper manuals (i.e. Haynes) that can provide this knowledge at very low cost or even free of charge.
The car itself can "tell" you stuff as well via the trouble codes stored in its computer, if you have 100$ to spare for the purchase of an OBD II code reader, but since some used car dealers will erase or manipulate the data stored on the computer this step is better left to a mechanic, and should only be used when considering the purchase of a higher-end used car.
