I went to Outback Auto Sales after finding a vehicle listed by them on Craigslist.
The vehicle looked decent but they wouldn't allow me to take the car to my own mechanic but only to one near their lot. Of course, I didn’t want the opinion of one of their friends or neighbors, I wanted the opinion of my own mechanic.
I was very interested in the vehicle and told them that I would be paying cash. They did not like my offer and did not make a counter-offer. They were unwilling to negotiate on the price.
A few minutes after I left, the owner (I am uncomfortable posting his name) began to send me vulgar, accusing, and insulting text messages. I was quite surprised by this behavior. I texted briefly back hoping to calm him down but he only responded with more of the same rude behavior.
I arrived home and sent a very patient email trying to show him that his behavior was inappropriate but he only responded with more rude and vulgar comments by email.
Unfortunately, judging by his behavior I cannot recommend this seller. I do not trust him because he was very, very rude.
I am very saddened by my experience with Outback Auto Sales.
My recommendation is that you buy a vehicle somewhere else.
