Clean Machine

SCUMBAGS. They sold me a car, as we were checking fluids their sales guy checked the coolant and said, «looks good!» Later I found that I t was thick with oil as the head gasket was blown, which I found out when I took it to have typical service done on it the next day. I called, giving them the benefit of the doubt, and they refused to take the 2,000.00 car back. The owner, a really sleazy dude kept dodging me, and when we spoke he said he and one other person had driven it from the lot at least 100 miles each and his in house mechanic had checked it out, and I must have done this damage in those two days myself (but two highly rated mechanics told me it had happened long ago). Pulling records I found that once the original owner had found it had a blown head gasket it went to a junkyard auction and had less than 60 miles on it since last May, so another obvious lie. They had also held a headlight in with a zip tie (the correct broken light seat was laying next to the car, not knowing what it was I took it just in case) so the headlight busted and melted the assembly that night. They also disabled the sensors that would have revealed the head gasket issue. The owner of this car lot told me that in 35 years he had never had a car come back for any issue, which would be a lie for even the most reputable car lot.
Bottom line, even when you are desperate, have a car checked out and insist that they show you the carfax report.
This is the sleaziest ripoff lot you could possibly deal with — visit them at your own risk. I mean they are GROSS SLEAZY.

Clean Machine is OK by me. Dropped in never having heard of them b4 looking for a Cheap (comes into play later) Vehicle for my fiancé, her first car. Great success !!! Leo I believe his name was and Dan helped us pick out the right one for what we needed it to be A 93 ford Exploder 4×4 with 89k or 189k cant really tell pretty clean hehe. Interior was ⁹⁄₁₀ Exterior ⁷⁄₁₀ Motor was dry ran strong, tranny shifts all gears no problem had good wheels& tires 5/​32nds atleast and the price was exceptionally fair i.e. I could fix its problems and still turn a good profit (I’m Mechanically inclined own work done here) we got what we_​_​_​_​_​_​_​needed…
That being said IDK about the newer more expensive cars or your personal situation what I can determine from my experience is they are willing to work with what you got. They can work with people, on cars maybe… maybe not I dont know if they do mechanical work here possibly just detailing anyway. DONT send ppl that aren’t mechanically inclined to find a car here, and drive it to be sure its safe for a while. first car we looked at was very nice Looking moderately clean 90’s Deville but it had some problems i didn’t feel comfortable with nothing big… maybe so i walked away from it. Third option was really nice looking Dodge van… but thats where i’ll stop with that, worked on too many to even wanna peek at it. Second option was what we left with Now this is where Experience comes in. Left front caliper came apart after 53.7 miles now me knowing what a car pulling right and a soft pedal involves I took a chance that it was air in the lines from a bad bleeding session when the new pads where put on. I was safe about it cause i had to get it back to astoria oregon 51 miles from the lot. Got into town totally lost pedal used the tranny to get us home and parked it. took a look caliper bolts where left loose. bought the car today will fix tomorrow prolly cost 10 bucks to get new hardware 50 bucks worse case, but if it was my fiancé behind the wheel well lets just say probably would have been very bad but no harm no foul Im not gonna take it back cause we still love it and shit happens oh and most importantly they make you sign papers 3 times NO WARRANTY AS IS!!! so if you bring your car back or bitch em out YOU sir are the moron. ¹⁄₃ of your life probably spent in a car, learn about them. OR go to a «legit» dealer bring your barrel cause the 100 ft long marble counters are too nice to bend over (can you say Overhead) and likely end up being sold crap anyway.
We needed a car we bought a really nice SUV for super cheap no selling or pressure we have decent paying jobs for our age but no/​shit credit limited options outside Craigslist. Put almost half down and will pay it off in less than two months. these guys had what we needed did it the only way we could and did what most others wouldn’t actually do help their customers, We gambled and got lucky but that’s what being young is about. Moral of the story is; as with everything in life Be educated, be courteous, have ample time don’t cram this in half of your day, be safe, and take some damn responsibility for YOUR actions. I would hate to see a fair place like this get dragged down by idiots who act like everything is gonna be perfect. you get what you pay for. oh and Im a human not being paid to do this didnt get anything in return just saying what i think should be said
