PURCHASED THE CAR 01/24/09 IT WAS LEAKING FLUIDS, CUTTING OFF AFTER DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY,AND REVVING ON IT'S ON WHILE IN PARK. TOOK IT INTO THE PLACE I GOT IT FROM WITH MY OWN LIST OF THINGS AS WELL AS A LIST OF CARS. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT STILL DID THE SAME THING A WEEK LATER. IT STOPPED RUNNING 04/09 HAD TO GET IT TOWED 3 TIMES. GOT IT TOWED TO THE PLACE I GOT IT FROM AND THEY KEPT IT FOR ABOUT 2WEEKS AND THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL THERE EXCEPT IT STARTS NOW BUT IT HAS OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL AND I HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON IT EVERY MONTH. THEY ARE ALSO CHARGING ME A ARM AND LEG WHEN THEY KNEW THE CAR HAD PROBLEMS IN THE FIRST PLACE. I ALSO TOOK IT UP THERE BEFORE THEN AND THEY KEPT ACTING LIKE I HAD TO LEAVE IT FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE THE OTHER TIMES THEY KEPT IT DIDN'T GET FIXED. WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING IT ONLY LAST FOR A WEEK OR 2 THEN IT BREAKS DOWN AGAIN AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME DOUBLE THE BLUEBOOK VALUE.
