Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A CAR FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO ADVERTISED A CAR FOR SALE BY STATING"AC WORKS HEATER WORKS" UNFORTUNATELY WITHIN 45 MIN AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON SIDE OF THE ROAD IN EXTREMELY HIGH HEAT DUE TO CAR DYING BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED BUT I WASNT AWARE OF IT BECAUSE IT NEVER GOT HOT ON TEMP GAUGE BECAUSE I LATER FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO THERMOSTAT IN THE MOTOR.. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE SELLER TO ANSWER HER PHONE OR RETURN MY CALLS. THE AC CAN'T WORK WITHOUT A THERMOSTAT AND HEATER NEEDS HEATER CORE IN ORDER TO WORK IN WHICH THE CAR HASN'T ONE. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICAL THAT I CAN'T DRIVE AND THE SELLER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE CAR BUT FAILED TO MENTION ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH CAR. *TR
