I bought the car on 08/28/2010 and only drove it that day. Since it was a saturday and they closed early, I had to wait until monday to contact them. On monday, a rep from the dealership told me that they sold the car to me from someone who didn't have a dealership or title for the car and he was using their dealership to sell and to retrieve the title once the sell was final. The car was ok when I left the dealership, but after a couple hours it died on me while I was driving almost causing a accident.
