You are too slow on the post. This was already posted earlier in the week!

Geezus.

I've been to that dealership ("Karz 4 Less") before too and I'm not the least bit surprised they're selling an abortion like that. They exemplify the term "sleazy, ghetto, buy-here-pay-here used car dealer". About two years ago I happened by and saw a nice looking BMW convertible so I stopped to check it out (I considering buying for my wife as a gift). Took the thing on a test drive and the transmission literally seized, smoking, mid-test drive after about 10 minutes - no joke. I had to leave the car on the side of one of the ghetto-ass side streets about a half mile from the dealership and walk back, tossing the keys at them and telling them where their car was and that they should probably get to it quickly because when I left it the transmision was smoking and had the potential to burst into flames at any moment. The guy actually said, "oh it probably just needs fluid - I can give you a couple quarts if you want". I was incredulous - like I was going to go shlep ATF through the ghetto and repair his junkbox for him, then actually consider buying it? Umm. No. I just walked out.

Anyway, anyone want me to go check it out? It's about 3 miles from here. I'd love to go mess with 'em a bit given how sleazy they are. Could make for some entertainment on an otherwise boring Friday.
