I found the ad off Facebook marketplace for a 2010 Toyota tundra. 4 hours away I was a little weary of the drive for a possible unreliable car or messed up. Mike, the owner reassured me that it’s in excellent condition and I wouldn’t be upset when I arrived. When I arrived we noticed things that made us skeptical. The truck wasn’t in the worst condition but was NOT in the “excellent” condition Mike spoke about. The coolant had been a little bit below the low line. They filled it up with different color and I thought it should be fine as it wasn’t too low. They painted the undercoat in black in hopes to cover some of the rust. But for that Mike lowered the price and we thought it was okay. I then get hope and the coolant falls to the same place and the cost to fix as it’s leaking coolant is $800 and on top of the $1100 as the shocks are rusted and shot soon. I call up Mike as this is not the excellent truck he promised I wouldn’t be upset about and after dodging my calls for 3 days he said “if he knew about it he would’ve fixed it and charged more for the truck” I reminded him that’s not the case as he already sold me the truck, he refuses to pay for any of the repairs. He seemed to be a nice guy at first and unfortunately turned out not to be the case. I would probably avoid buying vehicles from him as you don’t know what you may get your self into, not a...

He’s a patchwork con man. First of all he sells “by owner” on Craigslist which is 100% misleading and a lie as he doesn’t even own the vehicles.. he subs them from an online auction. When I asked about the water pump on the highlander he said “those are usually done way before this mileage”... ok well is it done? I’m now looking at a bad head gasket hence why I’m making the post.

Long story short I bought the Toyota WITH NO TITLE IN HAND just some copy of the auction title. And it’s an actual miracle I made it back 5 hours home. The water pump that “should have been replaced” was leaking half my coolant overnight. Mind you this happened weeks after I got it home. Since then it’s been nothing but issues here and there some big some small. Oh and the car was FAR from ‘immaculate condition’ as he claimed....

This is an excellent place to find a reliable and budget vehicle for whatever your needs may be. They have many options, even if the website doesn't show each option, as they are always changing their inventory. They are very transparent with you and will be more than willing to help and assist you in any way shape or form. We recently bought a vehicle from here and it has been an excellent experience overall. This was a cheap and well maintained vehicle and it is obvious that someone had taken care of if in the past. If there are any problems, they are more than willing to go out of their way to fix it to ensure customer satisfaction. This is a great place to buy cars from, especially if you are looking for something to get you from...
