I bought a program 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis on Feb 9th..... I wrote on the purchase and sales agreement a couple of things before I took delivery.
- The car is to have a four wheel alignment
- Tires to be rotated and balanced
- Codes to be cleared from the computer.
I picked up the car asked if the things were done. Salesman says yes, I ask for the RO's he says they are in the system not to worry..... Ya right...
I bring the car home. Car sits in the garage for a week. I go out yesterday. One tire is flat and another is just about dead.......
I fill up the two tires go to my garage... They pull off the wheels, the two tires that are loosing air have cheap garage plugs. I have them put on the proper patch, I then look at the front tires they look like they have been on the front of the car since it was made, never rotated. The backs look great...... They put the car on the rack, the TOE is out.
So I have an appointment with the service manager to talk about the issues. This should be fun.....
Car has 20k on the odo, was part of a rental fleet in Ocala Florida. Other than the tires and the alligment and if they didn't do the codes I can do that myself just take the negative cable out for the night the car is fine....
