Unfortunately for me I bought a 1st year Horizon, loaded. The starter failed
after 6 months and 6k miles and damaged the flywheel. Since the car was auto
trans it couldn't be started by any means.When the dealer told me it would take 6
months to get a flywheel from Germany I asked for a loaner or a replacement
veichle. I was told tough, we can't loan you a veichle and we won't allow you
anything on a trade in on a 6 month old car because it wont run. That sucked
really bad. I bought a new car that wont run, can't be repaired, is under
warranty and worth nothing as a trade in but CC credit wants you to make the
payments anyway. I am surprised that that experience didn't cause me to never
want to buy another CC veichle. I wrote CC credit and explained my problem and
they said I didn't have to make any more payments until the car could be
repaired. This was nice but I had to buy another car because I had to have one.
When the car was fixed and it did take 6 months,
I had to tell CC credit I didn't want it and why. Well they sold the car and
refunded me part of the money I had in the car. So I just chalk it up to a very
bad dealer. BTW he didn't stay a CC dealer much longer!!!
