    Pattern of Complaint:

    BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaint. Specifically, consumers allege that the business engages in the following:

    • Makes misleading verbal and written representations relating to the material conditions and safety of vehicles for sale. Consumers allege that shortly after purchasing vehicles from Auto Nerd warning lights in the vehicles appear and mechanical failures occur. Consumers state that further inspection of vehicles by third-party mechanics identify numerous issues.
    • Does not respond in a timely manner to consumer requests for refunds, repairs, and returns of down payments.

    On March 28, 2019 BBB sent a letter informing the business of the pattern of complaint and requesting their participation in addressing consumer concerns. On July 17, 2019, the business provided the following response:

    "AutoNerd sells high value/low cost automobiles. All vehicles are inspected prior to the sale and necessary repairs are made.  Customers test drive the cars and a CarFax is provided.  However, things go wrong with used, inexpensive,  vehicles. We offer and encourage customers to protect themselves by purchasing our warranty. However, some customers still make the informed decision to buy the vehicle "as is."

      Sold me a ***** Impala looks like it was under water, doors rusted at the bottom of the doors where I couldn't see it and the seats had big rips in it and sold me a dangerous car, the tie rods and strutassy are bad enough that my mechanic told me to drive it slowly because the wheels could fall off and I need it fixed soon! They ripped me off badly. Buyer beware!!
