Consumer Description

PURCHASED 3/1/04 AND GOT A FREE OIL CHANGE IN MAIL BECAUSE IT WAS SOLD TO ME WHEN IT ALREADY NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I HAD TO KEEP ADDING OIL. I CALLED BECAUSE SALESPERSON SAID HE HAD TO BE THERE WHEN THEY FIXED SEVERAL THINGS ON IT. 1ST TIME, I SAT 3 HRS TO GET IT FIXED. 2ND TIME AFTER 2 MESSAGES TO SALESMAN W/O RESPONSE, I CALLED AND TOOK IT TO GET FIXED AGAIN. 3RD TIME I TOOK IT DOWN THERE TO SHOW THEM THE RESULTS OF OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THEY DIDN'T FIX MY WINDSHIELD LEAK AGAIN, MY AIR QUIT WORKING WHEN I GOT IT BACK AFTER 2ND TIME. THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE ENGINE TORE DOWN AND PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE 2ND TIME IN A MONTH. I AM A FULL TIME STUDENT AND APPRAISER. MY CAR IS MY LIVELIHOOD AND I AM LOOSING ALOT OF MONEY. EARL DUNN BUICK IN TENNESSEE DOESN'T CARE AFTER THE SALE. I GUESS WE KNOW WHERE AND WHY CAR SALESMEN GET THEIR REPUTATIONS. *NM
