Within 1 hr of purchasing our second hand car we could hear a strange noise each time we accelerated above 40 mph, we called Shanes back and they advised that was the turbo kicking in, yeah right, we brought the car back to them next day only to be told we had bought the car as is and this was our problem. As a courtesy they would look at it and do us a deal on the repairs but we would have to come back another day as they were too busy. Not a good sign when their maintenance garage is full (they only repair cars they have sold), obviously we are not the only poor suckers. We brought the car to a garage who quoted us $1000-$1500 to fix the problem, when we called Shane's back, they laughed at us and offered to buy the car we had bought from them less than one week ago, back from us for $2500.00 less than what we had paid.

I dont know how this Company get away with it, we are now left with a headache money pit as the mechanic beside our apartment called it, we are beyond devastated. You hear so many stories about shady second hand car dealers, well this company is certainly Enemy Number 1! Avoid at all lengths!

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SHANE'S CARS!
