Consumer Description

Bought vehicle from Ray Price dealer 2 years ago with 81k miles Vehicle passed inspection with them(was already inspected upon purchase) was clearly told by salesman that vehicle didn't need to have warranty. Should raised a red flag being I purchase it cash for 10k. Began to notice a clunk sound..took it to my mechanic figuring it was just brakes and or rotors. He called me immediately and said the entire frame was rusted out. And good thing I made it to him and further driving I would have been in a severe accident. He told me to take it to the autobody shop. Upon inspection they found the entire subframe completely corroded. $2000 in repairs( not covered under any warranty) 3 weeks without car. Subframe and control arms had to be replaced
