“The car purchased was for 1800 and the mechanic where purchased from told eric that the car was fully inspected and ready for the road. His girlfriend test drove the car and told greg that the brakes didnt work he said he'd have them looked at. Had the car for 2 days after he supposedly re-checked them and brought the car to monro muffler to be re-checked and found that the whole underside of the car was rusted and rotted straight through. The car is unable to be driven and greg refuses to return the money to the consumer. If you could please help us out that would be great. …”
