I was doing a search for Jackie because over the years I had delt multiple times with her on cars and always did very well. That's when I stumbled across this Rip-Off report. I do not recommend Not Nu after she left, but all my dealings with her have been so good, I miss her expertise, in fact, I am still driving the Astro van I bought from her over seven years ago, 300,000 miles on it, only maintenance has been wear and tear. I am searching for her because I would like to recommend her to my friends who need cars from time to time. I have actually bought four cars from her at Cash prices far below dealer prices and they all went another 100,000 miles after purchase.
Never had I had such good deals from rip off car salesmen, in fact, new cars were misrepresented to me so many times I got tired of being lied to, lost $1,000s because of depreciation. Jackie never lied to me and I saved $1,000s of dollars, if people only knew, all other salesmen would be out of a job!
..........and what part of "As is" do people not understand, that's how you get a $11,000 dollar car or truck for $3,000!

I have purchased two vehicles from Not-Nu auto sales over the past five years, most recently last December. Both vehicles are still in fine working order. Jacky is a good salesperson and I appreciate her low-key and factual demeanor - she makes the process comfortable and I recommend both her and the lot whenever I have the opportunity. Not-Nu is an as-is auto lot. For the same reason you wouldn't buy an as-is home without an inspection, an as-is vehicle should never be purchased without an inspection. And certainly shouldn't be purchased after a mere 5 minute test drive. The prices you received from your "car repair" location seem hugely inflated to me. If you don't know much about car maintenence (I'm guessing "no" since you spelled it "free-on") then a second opinion on car repairs is a mandatory. It does not seem that Not-Nu is in the wrong here. They sell thousands of cars a year and are clear on their "as-is" policy. The blame here is three-fold: 1) College student falls in love with a car and only does a five minute test drive. 2) College student does not check all of the systems during the test drive (or, if they aren't car-savvy, did not take it to a reputable mechanic for inspection). 3) Cost for repairs (some of which may not have been needed) were not shopped around. This may be an opportunity to teach your child a new lesson - the real price of not doing your homework.

Jackie told you, you should get a Inspection by a mechanic. Yet you failed to do so untill after the fact of buying the vehicle. You accuse Jacky of Lieing, but you quote her as saying something entirely Different. I have purchased Multiple vehicles from Jackie/Not Nu Auto Sales through the Years. The first vehicle I bought from her Happened to be her very first sale. As our family grew and our needs changed My husbad and I purchased 4 Vehicles from not Nu auto sales. I also took several friends and family members in who also purchased 3 Other Vehicles from them. Jackie or Victor never lied to us about any of their vehicles. All of the Vehicles were very dependable. Oh and another thing. Firestore is Good for Tires and a Oil change. You Paid Probably 2-3 times the going rate for your Repairs. Any corner mechanic can change a fuel pump, and a o2 Sensor costs less than $30.00 and only needs to be screwed in. I think Firestone took you for a Ride not , Not nu auto sales. The Repairs you listed had they been needed would have ran you about $500.00 from a honest mechanic in Kansas City. The Timing belt well. The only way you know you need to replace a timing belt on a vehicle is because its already broken. Firestone would have needed to open the top of the motor to check that out and none of the other repairs owuld have required it so they lied to you. Ask any other mechanic. Better yet call another mechanic in this area and ask them what they think. They will tell you about the ride you were taken on. Being Quoted $5071.00 Never clued you in that something did not sound right? Windshield Wiper Motor, iS $80.00 Labor is $160.00. I guess your son failed to test it huh? And on the o2 Sensor? Was The Motor Revving on its own? How Did your Son miss that? I feel realy badly that you got Ripped of, but lay the blame where it belongs. A teens parents call in to a mechanic and they are out of state and the price doubles. You should have gotten a second opinion.
