Maranatha Auto

Problem Date: 11÷3÷09−11÷6÷09
Description of incident: I was contemplating purchasing a 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe from Maranatha Auto. When I asked for the Car Fax report, the owner told me, ‘I ain’t gonna sell you no piece of turd’ and then said that he did not know HOW to pull a Car Fax report because his salesman who usually did this was not present that week. He said, ‘if you really need it why don’t you pull it and I’ll cover half’.
I asked about the maintenance record of the car and the owner told me that it had no issues when he took it to an auto repair shop, but he said he ‘couldn’t promise’ to produce the report. He also couldn’t let me test drive the car because he lost the key, and had to have it towed to the dealership for a reproduction.
During our discussion the owner made several references to his political and religious ideologies which I did not care to hear and had nothing to do with the purchase of the car. This made me very uncomfortable.
When the owner finally faxed me the Car Fax report, he also SENT THE CREDIT REPORTS OF TWO INDIVIDUALS who were applying for credit at his dealership, complete with contact information, social security numbers and credit scores. I informed the owner that not only was I NOT going to buy a car from him, but that I was going to alert these individuals to his irresponsibility. He said, ‘thanks sweetheart’ and hung up on me.
He then called me AT WORK and proceeded to tell me that he didn’t need my business and that I could do whatever I wanted, as he had been in business for 22 years. He then hung up on me again.
Stay far away.
