We have given the dealership the benefit of the doubt and purchased more than once...every purchase was fraudulent and/or misleading. Our first and second purchases were made almost simultaneously. The first vehicle had a blown motor within a few months - this might be a typical risk but we are finding that as we talk to other buyers almost everyone has had major vehicle malfunctions. Our second vehicle we found to have two different VIN numbers, one on the car and replacement parts under the hood - no accidents were recorded so claiming it was probably a minor fender bender they avoided legal action.
Three times, shame on us...we aren't A+ Credit buyers and this dealership is the only option for financing for people with imperfect credit in our area. Most people that purchase there are like us and have no alternatives but needed reliable transportation for their families. The third car purchase has been the worst!
The dealership failed to payoff our trade-in for almost two months, they also did not send paperwork to the courthouse so we could license and register it for almost two months and we had to drive an illegal vehicle for that time period (Washington only allows one 10 day trip permit.) We paid $1900 for an extended warranty that the company failed to purchase. We were forced to have attorney's send letters, then file a lawsuit for this amount, and now we are owed a judgement they have failed to pay! We garnished their bank account and after receiving a portion of our lawsuit from the garnishment, they closed their account.
EVERY contact I've had with other buyers from Guaranteed Affordable Auto in The Dalles, OR has been exactly like this. I have yet to come across a satisfied customer. We are standing up against this company as so many have been unable to do due to their circumstances.
Even if you are in a bad credit situation, take the large amount they will require down for a purchase, and pay cash outright for a vehicle. They charge more than triple the value for these unsafe, unreliable vehicles and the interest far exceeds 20-24%...it is not worth it!
