26 of 97 records mention vehicle condition — inventory and readiness concerns. Only 3 carry published ratings; all 3 are one-star. The pattern here is less a cluster than a spectrum: vehicles failing days after purchase, with the failures ranging from minor to severe.
Inspection gaps are the loudest theme. Six records explicitly mention an inspection the vehicle was said to have passed or to undergo. Three cite point-count inspections — two name "172-point," one "±150 point." Four reviewers bought with those assurances and then discovered major faults: a check engine light within days, a seized engine lifter requiring major work, transmission trouble requiring thousands in repairs, and shocks that all four needed replacement within weeks.
Cold-start warnings appear in three recent accounts — the check engine light comes on the first time the new owner drives the vehicle, or within the first week. In each case the fault turns out to be substantial: a transmission issue, a coolant leak, a sensor. The surprise is that the vehicle spent days or weeks at the dealership before being sold, yet no one noticed or disclosed the light.
Missing or promised-but-undelivered accessories form a smaller cluster: second keys that never arrived, accessories marked as sold with the car but not installed, and mats or tint work that was promised and billed but not done or begun.
One detailed account describes buying a "certified pre-owned" truck, having a comprehensive second opinion ordered for aftermarket-warranty purposes, and discovering four leaking shocks — with the service advisor claiming it was possible for all four to go out simultaneously by bad luck, and the reviewer later learning from an independent shop that road dirt buildup suggested they had been leaking far longer than the owner had owned it.
