Scott A. Lockwood SOLD ME A LEMON HONDA Orlando, Florida
14th of Nov, 2011 by User295772
This person royally ripped me off. Several facts about the vehicle were hidden from me and deceptive information was displayed in the ad. Example: The car has A/C. Yes it did, in a Box! The
original car was never equipped for A/C, instead, the A/C came from a salvage yard and it was incomplete and the head unit still does not work properly. Cost to fix - $600! The engine was working well at the time but when I did a tune-up and oil change, the oil looked like it was black tar! The spark plugs were also shot with one of the plugs completely covered in deposits, causing a massive misfire. Even the oil plug was a bogus plug jammed into the hole. The car was not getting the mpg it should. After the oil change, there were massive amounts of smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. All of this indicated that the valve seals were shot and perhaps
even the rings were bad. I did a compression test and yeah, bad seals and possible rings. I tore down the engine, taking off the head and it was so gunked-up in the combustion chamber and valves that it needed to be rebuilt. I examined the pistons and they were covered with carbon
deposits, taking them out, the cylinder walls of 2 were very scored with scratches and the rings were totally shot on 1 piston. Cost to fix - $1200. This rebuild was done to perfection and stock specs. Even after all this, I am not able to drive because when I pulled the tranny access plate off, I discovered the remnants of the clutch disc! The jerk-wad told me that it was a new clutch! New clutch plate, disc, TO bearing and flywheel package ordered. Cost to fix - $350. **** update, Well the problem was not the clutch, in fact all of it looked new except the flywheel.. the jerk that put everything back together did not torque down the flywheel bolt causing everything to wobble inside the transmission housing!! The thing could have exploded.. GREAT!! When I get done, I should have a much better than stock VX with higher performance and mpg. But I expected a car that I paid almost $4K for to have working AC and a decent engine. Not expecting this jerk to do anything, just putting the word out so he can’t screw anyone else.
