- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- Unanswered
**** **** Bron** bought on **** 'it runs drives and shifts excellent". I paid for transportation and received the vehicle Dec. 5th. It wouldn't start. Measured battery voltage, had only 6 volts. Bought a new battery and when **nnecting it, the starter engaged. Inspected vehicle and noticed odometer reads ****** not ******. Also noticed passenger side mirror ** A stud from the right front hub is also missing. I had the car towed to a ****************** Inspection, mechanics shop: ***************** Automotive repair (in business since ****) I asked him to take a look at it and give me an idea what's going on with it. The holidays slowed him down and the shop was very busy, but I got a call yesterday saying that the battery (the brand new one) was **mpletely dead. Something is shorting it out/draining it. He finally got it started and let it warm up, and then he drove it one block and said the transmission felt like it wouldn't shift to se**nd gear. More alarming was the front end, when he turned the steering wheel almost 180 degrees, the front tire/steering input wouldnt engage until going beyond that. He felt it was dangerous (his words) and unsafe to drive. He also said the front end suspension didnt feel right either. He didnt want to drive it any further and returned it to the shop.The advertised ****** miles is ****** miles under what's displayed on the odometer, even though for a vehicle that is 42 years old and is in such bad **ndition, I'm **nvinced it has 1****** miles.I did **ntact the seller regarding the inability to start it with a battery with only 6 volts. He denied there was anything wrong with the battery and said he drove it up on the car carrier himself. His text to me says Runs and drives fine.I feel this vehicle was Completely misrepresented and now find out that it is unsafe to even drive (mechanic/shop owner willing to attest to this) and it is a **mplete lie regarding the mileage. Thank youCustomer response
