SCAM ALERT Eugene Oregon
SCAM ALERT: Auto Brokers LLC. off I-5 near LCC in Eugene Oregon. Do not buy from them.
I test drove a yellow 99 GT from these guys and at first it seemed like a great car for the price. The engine ran strong, clutch was strong and had been upgraded, short shift, and a great sounding exhaust. on the way back the engine over heated so the shop took it in and a day later called me back saying the issue was a bubble in the coolant. When I returned the car ran great with no over heating but the add coolant light was on. one of the dealers lot hands showed me that the float in the overflow tank had sank and needed to be replaced was all. Despite the issue with the sunken float there were no problems so i purchased the car. A couple weeks later I stopped in to drop off a payment and was informed that it was 20,000 miles over due for an oil change so i picked up new filter, oil, spark plugs, and air filter. after an $80 tune up the GT was back on the road for a trip to California when the driver side cylinder head blew (less than a month after purchase). Every time i called or spoke to anyone at the dealership about the issue they side stepped the conversation or hung up. Im now $2,000 in on the rebuild and im finding all kinds of mix matched parts that were on the engine, not to mention they bypassed heater core instead of replacing it when it went bad. The cylinder heads didn't match, the timing sprockets were wrong, cams were wrong, valve covers were wrong, and the manifold is way off.. Ford dealer cant even find an engine that it may have come from let alone gaskets to match it. To top it all of I received a call from the dealer about a week ago saying that they no longer had their receipt books to prove any of my payments and that i owe an addition $1,000 or they will issue a repo. order on the car and i would be responsible for any charges accrued during the repo. Luckily I kept my receipts but after a search online I found that im not the only customer to have this issue with Auto Broker LLC. of Eugene. |

as soon as the car overheated you should have given the keys back to them and walked off, and you should have checked all of the numbers before purchasing anything.
