Verified ReviewerThe reason for the call is because they saw my big lemonThe
I bought this car on guru. I had nothing but problems, problems and problems I pay for full price.
Those people should be shimmer themselves to sell cars like this. The name of the company is Florida direct cars.
You're really suck. I hope nobody buys a car from you ever again
Customer service was very helpful. They said they will contact the dealer and get back to me. I haven't heard anything yet.
Worst customer service. They sold me a car that had so many problems and no longer want to help me.
I've spent almost $2000 fixing it. They are rude and don't take accountability for their junk vehicles.
Preferred solution: Price reduction

Up until now my situation is very sad. For some reason this dealer thinks that i should be gratefull for him even speaking to me as he stated the company has gone bust.
Also he thinks that I am an imbecile. How has he helped me. Blagged me into paying for diagnostics on a vehicle which shouldn't have any problems. Lied to me about what's covered under a warranty which I received three weeks after purchase.
Then told I couldnt contact them straight away as the problems were there when I purchased the vehicle.
The way he speaks its as if I've driven the car and these problems have arisen after I purchased it. Anyone can see that it's impossible
As i purchased a vehicle from Paul at the above company, which certainly wasnt as described. I asked for a refund to which i was told that i couldnt as the company has gone bust. This is an utter lie. The company has just changed name to Amg motor vehicles ltd.
Along with a change of address. This man advertised this vehicle as of good quality and it came with many faults. The main reason for contacting you is that on no advertisrment does it mention that this vehicle had been written off. I found this information out later as i looked at the reg number when i had purchased the vehicle and realised something wasnt rite.
Companies house have verified that the two companies are directed by the same two people . There should have been no issue in claiming my refund as i contacted Paul the day after i drove it. It also mentions a warranty . This man sent the warranty through three weeks after i purchased rhe vehicle.
He told me that i couldnt contact them straight away as the problems came with the car at the time of sale. After much discussion along with him insisting that i should be gratefull that he is speaking to me at all..His idea of help is to lie to me about paying money out for diagnostics and how i would get the money back . I contacted the warranty company and of couse its rubbish. This man is a total rogue and i would like to prevent this from occuring again.
The sad thing is that i am undergoing chemotherapy and really needed a car to get to clatterbridge. I have had the car for a month its been off the road for three weeks. The ad makes the vehicle sound fit for purpose. The diagnostic report shows otherwise.
The advertisement which i have on my phone gives the option to go to the website.
If the companies were different it would send me to the old one. Surprise surprise it takes me to the new one.

Verified ReviewerSells price
I spoke with 3 separate representatives and yet nothing. The people would not give me straightforward answers and everyone said something different.
I found a vehicle on Car Gurus that’s price was just about all I had. I went ahead and took the VIN number and searched it for that specific vehicle, and it had six recalls.
My manufacturer verified tampering with the odometer. Being on a fixed income, 51 and recently divorced, I’ve had no way to make it to doctors' appointments. I got to look at the car to find out that they are asking $5,000 less than what the car actually sold for brand new.
I don’t understand why the price on CarGurus was $19,000 less than the asking price from the dealership. I was there with cash for the price listed, and being handicapped and having to ask someone to give me a ride to the dealership, well, let’s say it’s not a very easy task.

Yes, they sold me a piece of garbage from the junkyard. I really had to rebuild the whole car.
The seats were unbolted, an axle was broken, there was no muffler, and I spent over $1000 on an oil change. Not to mention how detailed the car was, it was a disgrace when I got it. I think those guys got this thing from the junkyard and sold it to me.
Besides, I paid full price for that piece of garbage. Buyers, beware of this dealer.

Verified ReviewerWon’t honor same package , but if a new dealer sign up they will give good deal to get them on there platform .
Becareful when dealer try to upgrade there advertisement package. When you decide to down grade to your original listing they wont honor the same price, will tell you price went up and try to upsell you. Always get in writing before upgrading that if you decide to downgrade they will honor the same price.

Verified ReviewerPistonheads don't care about scammers
I have used Pistonheads before to buy and to sell. This time when I advertised my car a got no proper enquiries, just 6 scammers trying to get money from me.
One based in Manila stole the identity of a builder in Cardiff. I complained about this to Pistonheads - and got no response at all beyond a message saying they would get back to me.
I would ask for a refund, but I don't expect I will get anywhere.
Best to forget it and move on. If this helps to stop others from using Pistonheads I feel I have done something useful at least.
User's recommendation: Use a different sales platform, this one is not safe.
