Do yourself a favor - DO NOT B...

Do yourself a favor - DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE! I HOPE THIS REVIEW WILL SAVE OTHERS FROM BEING VICTIMIZED BY THIS PLACE! If you`re going to buy a car, spend the extra grand and buy it from a big car dealership. It will save you the headache of repairs and hidden damages these guys won`t reveal to you. If you think you`re saving money after seeing their cars on craiglist or anywhere else - you`re not! Here... view mores my story: Purchased a 2000 Porsche Boxster. I asked Jason & Mike, has the car been in an accicent? no. Clean title? yes. Any issues I should know about so I could fix it myself right away? none. They insisted "Porsches are bulletproof", "we don`t sell broken cars", "we can fix anything", "50% off on any future service", "we are Porsche specialists". ALL LIES! I test drove the car and it was like a dream. I signed the deal. The next day the engine check light went on. Here we goooo. The car started misfiring and lost all power. I drove it back to them and they "GUESSED" engine bank #4 needed a new coil and the car "needed" tune up. So I agreed to pay an extra $400 for the tune up (new sparks, 1 new coil, air filter, oil filter). I also told them about a problem with the fuel gauge, everytime I fill it all the way it would still indicate 75% tank full. This tells me the fuel sending unit needs replacing! (which is an $800-$1300 job, this requires the fuel tank to be removed/dropped and the parts replaced). This what Mike told me - "use one of those fuel additive to clean it up" (basically a quick fix). They told me theres no leaks its a clean car, but when I checked underneath theres coolant leaking from a hose. I watch motorsports, but even an idiot would know what that leak means. They basically lied in my face.I showed it to them and they said they`ll just tighten it. So I drove the car after their so called "tune up". And I tell you when you do a tune on a car you get at least a 20% power increase, guess what I got a 20% loss in power. After a day the engine check light went back on AGAIN! They basically robbed me again pretending the car needed a tune up. So I decided to take it to the Porsche Dealeship and know the REAL deal. They charged me $165 for inspection. Guess what they found? Broken fuel sending unit float a $1400 job, missing water heater a $1500 job. Whats worst. I got the carfax, the car has been in an accident. The worst. I could only sell it for half the price I payed! The end. I sold it for half the price and now I have no car to drive and stuck with debt! I HOPE THIS REVIEW SERVES ALL THOSE FUTURE VICTIMS WELL. Do yourself a favor go to the actual manufacturer`s dealerships and buy it from there. the manufacturer`s dealerships cannot sell you and mess with you with broken machinery because they represent a company and they will provide you the carfax on the spot. The reason why these small time dealerships exist is because the cars they sell cannot be sold anywhere else and they have to victimize people to make a living. I also noticed they`re working hard to give themselves a good review on YELP. Look!
