| Description of the problem | I am the perspective buyer of this used car currently at a dealer for sale. Carfax report indicates two recalls on the car. On 2/17/20, salesperson called hyundai inc about the fuel leak recall being fixed if i purchase the car first and then take the car to a hyundai dealership to fix the recall. Is this proper procedure in purchasing a used car? The car is currently being offered for sale at a savannah, ga, critz mercedez dealership. Salesperson provided a carfax report that indicated recent service on the car the dealership provided. However, the described recall had not been remedied which i brought it to the attention of the salesperson who then called a hyundai dealership. I was told hyundai would fix the issue and extend the warranty another 40,000 miles. Should i be concerned about buying this car based on the salesperson requiring purchase first before the car is fixed? |
