Someone should either smack the sh*t out of the lying sacks of **** or burn the place to the ground. They may as well get a gun and at least rob you face to face instead of doing it on the sneak. Keep looking and good luck bro. -Showking

Well, I'm glad that I gave you a little extra warning about Diamond Auto before you went out there. I honestly don't know how they are still in business. I'm sure it's been done already many times, but they should be reported again to the BBB. Best of luck with your search.

Did they pay for your return flight? What did they say when you told them about the mileage?

I feel your pain. But think of the positives...what is you had being stuck with a lousy car. Keep looking...there is a car out there that you are destined to own...and it will be a lot more safer car then the one you were just about to buy. Good luck.

Money well spent on a PPI, someone should sticky all the times a PPI saves someone's *** since there are a lot of posts asking "Should I spend the $$$ on a PPI".

OP, good luck on your car search.

Even before the warning from the forum members i had been sure to get the PPI, however the warning helped put me on the guard!

I was going to pay 82.7 for the car(no extended warranty)


I had my plane ticket refunded from the airline company, so its all good


all in all PPI IS THE BEST INSURANCE A PERSON CAN BUY!!!!!

If you are spending 80k on a car, the least you can do is spend 200-300 on pre purchase inspection(which can save you thousands of dollars in the long run).
