I went to buy a car used car from Save Way Auto Sales on Kensington Ave. the car look beautiful on the outside but when it came to the car itself the car was trash on December 4, 2006 I purchased a 1999 Chevy Malibu from Save Way for $3,200.00 I started having trouble with the car within the first couple of days first it was the horn then it was the brakes then it was the horn again then it was the tires then the window I took the car back several of times and they really didn't do much 11 weeks later the engine had went I went to a professional mechanic he asked me how long I had the car for I told him 11 weeks and he told me that the car was bad before I even purchased it so I went to Save Way and asked them if somebody could do something about my car they told me I had to come back because the mechanic wasn't in so about a week or two later I took the car back to them and they said they couldn't service me no more because they said I never had a warranty on my car which I did Save Way wrote me a letter and even admitted that I was always coming in because something was wrong with my car but they still till this day never did anything about it they said they are not going to do nothing because I didn't have a warranty which I did.

I have purchased a few cars from Save Way, and have also helped friends, family and even a person I donot know, but conversed to on a car forum, and have never had any problems with them. A horn that acts up, is hardly major, tires are irrelevant, and quite honestly, it sounds like you owned the car long enough to not maintain it to the point that you had some sort of non-described 'engine' problem. How often did you change oil? Did you overheat it but continue to drive it? How many miles were on the car? You continued to drive it, when it wasn't right-that is the mistake many make, as difficult a concept it might be, if your car is NOT RUNNING PROPERLY, to the point that you think there is a MAJOR PROBLEM, you'd be wise to park it until you know what is wrong-it is a lot cheaper in the end, as you are well aware of now. Save Way has been in business for at least 20 years and they have some of the nicest cars on the Avenue, their record speaks for itself.

Get the car inspected by a local mechanic before you buy. NEVER buy a used car without getting it checked out thoroughly by a diagnostic shop or a good mechanic.
