Terrible Customer Service LV Auto Sports

Asked by GuruV98KJ Aug 01, 2018 at 04:19 PM about the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

February 19, 2018 I bought a 2008 Corvette z06 from LV Auto Sports.  
Started having problems the first week I had the car. Knowing I bought the
car as is.  I was told everything was checked out and serviced before I
bought it. The first week it started to overheat I contacted LV Auto Sports to
let them know after I fixed it. The second week the front left caliper leaking
fluid again contacted them after I fixed it. The 5 weeks it started making a
noise a ticking sound. Checked the car out as I had to bring it to a specialist
for corvettes in California were they told me that the motor was blown,  all 8
cylinders were scored and hand honed. Pistons were done, all because the
cam bearing was not pressed completely and walked it's way out.... the oil
was not changed for a very long time up until the dealership bought it... so
the dealership made it look like the car was taking care of. But really they
just hide the neglected motor. I bought the car for $32k, and the new motor
is going to cost me $18k plus all the fees to tow it. When I called to let the
company know of all the problems they said sorry you bought it as is.. I
would not recommend this place as they did not check the car out. I bought
a car I used for a few weeks and now this car cost me over $50,000 which
is not worth it…. Terrible customer service
