I dealt with Dave, and I saw an ad on craigslist for a 2001 Echo for $2500, which looked like a good buy...so I went and checked it out and looked good; he said all he knows it needs was a flex tube and its about a $60 fix to get it welded on...well he said we can take it for a ride and I said great...there's Hamilton's AutoShop a few blocks down I'm going to have them inspect...well I was looking at all of the positives...really want a compact reliable used car... Was having the mechanism checking it and received a message from Dave saying there are buyers here waiting to buy the car, and I'm like...ummm I'm getting it inspected cause I wanna buy the car. He was trying to rush me back and I was like I'm sorry they have the car up on their lift taking a look at it for me. Well then a red flag goes in my head...why was he trying to sell to another buyer if we have the car in our possession seeing if its mechanically sound. Then he was trying to rush the inspection, so I was curious as to the results...well the guys at Hamilton's quickly pointed out that I should let this one go. It had been running only a few minutes and there was oil leaking from the seal of the oil pan and they said this would be a costly fix. They would have to pull engine and tranny to be able to replace so it would be very costly. I thanked them for the assistance and took it back to Dave. I told him if he didn't already know he had this issue with this car. He wasn't happy to hear the news and said well I don't care I already have a buyer for this car. So I feel really bad if someone did just purchase this after us, because the expense for the work will double the cost they paid for it. Plus now he knows there's more then just a flex tube problem, and wasn't phased a bit to continue to sell the car to someone else. So I guess be careful...have Hamilton's check it out they're only about two blocks north.
