President City Auto Wholesalers

I read the previous review and wanted to comment about my cousin who had a similiar issue with this car dealer. She actually bought a car from here had it for less than 2 weeks and then the transmission had problems. The car dealer would not help out at all ignored all phone calls and became rude to her when she confronted him in person. She had to take the car to another mechanic that told her after inspecting the transmission that it had brake fluid in the transmission fluid. According to the mechanic this is a quick cover up to bad transmission seals. She could not say who put the brake fluid in the transmission but no one in family will ever buy a car from there again.

This place gives all used car dealers a bad name.
A friend of mine had negotiated a price for an older vehicle from their lot.
I went with her to check the car out before she bought or put any money down on it.
First of all he told her it was a 1998 when in fact it was listed as a 1997 on Craigslist. He also told her it could be repainted for $ 150, the paint mind you was peeling badly on the hood, trunk, and fenders. Where on earth are you going to get a paint job for that kind of money? It’s not even enough to cover the cost of the paint never mind the prep work that would have to be done beforehand.
Anyways when I start looking under the hood and underbody he calls her into his office and says to her «what’s going on here, we had a deal» She tells him that she doesn’t know much about cars and would like to have someone who does take a look at it first, a perfectly reasonable request.
Joe who is also the owner starts to challenge me «are you a mechanic» I tell him no but I’d like to take it to one so it can be put up on a lift to check for any fluid or oil leaks, check the suspension, transaxel, steering and exhaust components etc.
He says he can’t let me do that but I can bring the mechanic there or he’d put it on a lift so I could look at it.
Knowing that my mechanic wouldn’t be able to come down there I asked him to put it on the lift and I’d look at it myself just as he had offered to do a few minutes before.
That’s when he changes his tune and tells me he’s been buying cars for many years and there’s nothing wrong with this car blah blah blah.
Now he’s mad and says the deal is off and refuses to sell her the car.
A few years ago I saw a woman walking up and down in front of this place carrying a sign with words to the effect that she bought a lemon there and wanted the car fixed or her money back.
I also talked to a mechanic who used to have his shop next door, he told me that there were so many arguements over the years between Joe and his customersthat I might want to reconsider buying anything from him. He told me he’s hard to deal with especially after the sale if the car needs warranty work or fails the state inspection.
He was more than likey trying to hide a problem with the car and that’s why he didn’t want me to look at it on the lift.
Needless to say I wouldn’t buy anything from this guy not even a refrigerator magnet which is some odd business that he runs or leases space out to in an adjoining building.
