It had rained the night before, and apparently they left the windows open in the
rain all night.
I emailed twice about a car and got no response. When I called
and asked about the car, he said, "oh we sold it," and didn't suggest another car or see how
else he could help me.
First, the salesman tried to get me to sign a blank loan form...
Instead of telling me it was broken, they duct-taped it
back on and put the new tire on over it!
