I want to preface my review with-I did NOT purchase a vehicle through Kifle Motors but I did have an experience, as a customer. I inquired about a 2017 Ford Focus for sale through Kiflle Motors for $9,000. Very low mileage, so I was interested. I had seen similar postings for larger dealerships for $11,500 or so I didn't think it was too far off. I offered to pay for the vehicle to be inspected by CAA and he didn't object. When I went to meet Azzy at CAA and paid for the $150 inspection, the man behind the counter shared with me the laundry list of what is wrong with the vehicle. 3 or 4 pages with the estimates for parts and labor added up to over $3,500 NOT including the reason why the check engine light was on (just the diagnostic cost.) I also searched the VIN for accidents and there had been a history with this vehicle getting into collisions with animals-damages upwards of $5000. None of this was disclosed to me as the customer. Very brief vehicle description that didn't hint at ANYTHING wrong with the car. Upon Azzy reading the laundry list of issues with the car, he offered me two "solutions." Give me a $1,000 discount off of the price OR he will do the required repairs himself. I considered both but ultimately, if he is trying to run an honest business, he should make it a priority to sell WORKING and SAFE vehicles to his customers. He told me he would do the repairs if I put a deposit because he doesn't want to "waste his time fixing the car if I choose not to buy it." When in reality, he should be repairing the car anyway, whether I or someone else buys it. Not angry at the situation, just disappointed in how the situation was conducted. This is not a dealership. This is a person who buys cheap, problem vehicles that require thousands of dollars of repairs and sells them for a higher price tag. I would recommend to use extreme caution if you decide to purchase a vehicle here.
