I wrecked my car on thanksgiving in an ice storm and had to be back to work 10 hours away from home at 6am in just 2 days. I'm a mechanic and need a vehicle I can load my tools in easily, has an alarm system, and working locks and looks good. (no rust) I had 8000 bucks cash and some change. I stopped @ every car dealer on hwy 169 from my moms to grand rapids. I found a 2001 black isuzu rodeo, loaded with options, clean, pretty as I called it. I took it for a ride and it was the nicest vehicle I had ever drove! The sticker said 6899.00 so I said I'd take it NOW! I paid all caash got a receipt and came back to get it. In the dark. When I drove it off the lot the lights were dimming almost flashing. I called andleft a message I would be back on my next day off . The sales guy said sure we will look at it. I went to work with all my tools in back. 2800.00 apx in precision tools. . Alarm spontaniously goin off and lights flashing. Driver side window quit working, cd player won't play or eject disks, check engine light came on, oil light came on. 4 quarts low on oil! Windsheild wipers quit workin, (was raining!) cruise control spontainiously would turn on when at stop lights and I had to litrally stand on the break to stay stopped and motor reving so high I thought the engine was gona blow. The lock on the hatchback was broke too!. I was scheduled for a lock replacement 6 months later! And for them to look at everything else..10 months later. The trk didn't last that long. 10.5 months and a car mechanic in my town said it's only runnin on 5 cylinders! (reason for 4 quts of oil every 200 miles) ALSO!.. 3 different tread tires a windsheild that was too small and the trim on windsheild was coming off n water leaked into the vehice from the huge gap! 30 day waarrenty don't cover you when they make the apt 10 months out cuz they are SOOO busy. I'm so mad I couldn't go back cuz I woulda hurt someone. No credit, no nest egg of money anymore and no vehicle. Thanks advantage auto. You guys are champs. selling a lemon to a gullable single mom working away from home to make a living away from child and family. And not even offering to trade for something else.. The 18th of dec was the last time it was on the road. 4500 for just the motor installed. Not including all the other stuff to fix. :((
