~C & N Used Cars Inc~ in Knoxville TN sold me a LEMON!!!
I financed the vehicle with a down payment of $3000. Three days after the purchase the vehicle tore up and is un-safe to drive. I purshased the vechicle from the auto dealer on March 5, 2007. On March 8, 2007 at aprox. 11am the Vechicle failed to start correctly. It took aprox. 20 minutes to get the vehicle running. The vehicle died on the interstate while driving. I contacted the dealer and explained that the vehicle was acting up and that the check engine light had come on. The dealer then said that since I bought the car "as is" that I was obligated to fix it myself. After work the vehicle took a while to get started again and stalled and dies again on the way home. I parked the vehicle at my house and drove to the dealer to talk to someone face to face. The dealer then said that they would help with 15, maybe 20% of the cost to repair it, to just get an estimate and bring it to them, but not get it worked on until they see the estimate because they said they may be able to get it fixed cheaper. On March 9, 2010 the power steering tore up and will now not hold power steering fluid. I am affraid to drive the vehicle to get it looked at and can not afford to have it towed because of the $3000 down payment I had to put down on the vehicle. I am a server in a restaurant and I understand "as is", but they had to be aware that they was selling me a dangerous vehicle. I test drove the car before I bought it, but it was as if they had to bandaged it up to get it off the lot is how I feel. I used money from my 401k to purchase this car and find it unfair that I still have to make payments on a vehicle that I will not be able to drive until I can afford to fix it. I have not even made my first payment and have barley put any milage on the vehicle since purchase. I do not recommend purchasing a car from this dealer. Buyers beware!!!!
