Curbside Motors

To start, Todd worked hard to find me the right car for my budget and helped with finance, great guy! My comments are about collateral problems I discovered a day after closing the deal. I discovered what appeared to be a slow leak in on of the tires and believing it would be a minor fix I took my car to Les Schwab to have the tire repaired.
I discovered the wheel was cracked in two places, to make matters worse, the two rear tires were different and the two front tires are very close to unserviceable and the car needs a brake job.
The solution I was offered was to buy another wheel for a little over $ 100.00, then pay additional money to have all of the tires replaced with used tires. I was reminded that I had a spare tire after all should the leaking tire and wheel should fail completely.
I went to several tire dealer’s new and used, and I was given quotes from $ 750.00 to $ 450.00.
So to my point. I thought cars had to be safe to drive away from the car lot. With a cracked wheel and two bald bald tires I would wonder if anyone checked the road worthiness of the car at all.
I couldn’t help but be consumed with real concern as I was literally hydroplaneing across the crowded freeway on unsafe tires. The delima is I will not be in a position
to afford these repairs for at least a month, I’m thinking at least another $ 1000.00.
I totally understand what «as is» means and if anyone would have said «Darryl, these are the problems we are aware of with this car and you’ll be responsible for the additional cost, take it or leave it».
I would certainly have said thanks, but no thanks. Often when people have compromised credit they have to deal with car dealerships who are willing to take a risk with them. In return, unless the customer is willing to pay cash they can expect high interest rates and high down payments.
The condition of my credit is not their responsibility I get that, but they are obligated to make sure any car they sell is safe to drive off the lot or, the customer is aware of existing problems and accepts total responsibility for the cost of repairs, and most certainly there are few people who would agree to spend an additional $ 1000.00 or more the day after the initial purchase.
By the way the dealership would not even agree to add the cost of the tires and wheel to the contract nor using another method allow me to get the replacement tires and wheel other than cash up front. Please understand I put all I had towards the down payment so I’m out of luck.
Again I did appreciate the sales person who helped me make the purchase at all because I really needed a car.

Recently bought our 2009 Buick Enclave from Curbside & were very impressed with their whole staff. Jay, the salesman, was very thorough without being too aggressive. He knew the vehicle well & was able to answer all our questions. Our own mechanic found one problem & Curbside fixed it with no cost to us. We found everyone from the initial sales person to all the managers to be real & accommodating.
They also offered us a warranty for a reasonable price. I’d never purchased used before, but am a lot more comfortable with that option now, thanks to Curbside.

I was very happy with service I received. The floor manager Todd, the GM and the finance department are great and find you what your want. Just remember this is a big investment that requires time. Be willing to spend time and be patient when buying a vehicle. My purchase was done fairly fast considering everything they have to process. Thanks again Curbside Motors for all your help
