The vehicle was never stolen from the owner. The owner asked VOE to tow the vehicle to the dealership so the people trying to steal it wouldnt be able to. We recovered the vehicle with all four tires slashed and the owner stated she had no choice because someone was trying to steal it. The legal owner of the vehicle came into VOE Auto Sales on 5/3/2023 and wrote a statement turning over all rights to the vehicle back to VOE due to not being able to afford the payments.

Tuesday 10/25/2022 i drove the car to work about 22 miles round trip car was fine the morning of 10/26/22 I started to drive the car to work but the engine light came on and the cab filled with smoke. i called the dealer ship and was told to bring the car in so they could look at it. after work that day i took the car over to VOE's. were he put the car on the code scanner and code P0299 (under boosted), we made arrangements for me to drop off the car on Saturday 10/29/22 so his can have a mechanic look at it.

The customer came in on 10/22/2022 with his personal mechanic and they test drive the vehicle. They returned from the test drive and didnt state any issues with the vehicle so he stated he will be going to the bank to collect the money, the bank was closed so the customer said he will be back Monday with the money to pay for the car. The customer was told on Saturday since the car had to be jumped we purchased and put a new battery in it. The customer came a purchased the car Monday afternoon and after he got off of work he came and picked it up. He then came by VOE on that Wednesday or Thursday and asked if the codes could be checked due to the check engine light coming on. The vehicle was scanned and an underboost code appeared. The customer then discussed the issue with a mechanic that was present on our lot and they came to an agreement that the mechanic will fix the issues causing the check engine light to appear. At that time, the mechanic and customer set up an appointment to fix the vehicle. The customer stated I will be busy this weekend, is it okay if I drop the car off at VOE so the mechanic can pick it up and fix it VOE stated that was perfectly fine. The customer dropped the car off 10/28/2022 the mechanic came and picked up the vehicle. The customer and mechanic went on a test drive after picking up the vehicle, customer stated he was satisfied.
The customer called a few days later stating that the check engine light came back on, we then explained to the customer cars are sold AS IS and if there are further complications with your vehicle to get in contact with the mechanic that he agreed to let fix his vehicle.
VOE and the customer was satisfied after the sale of the vehicle was finalized and both parties agreed it was a reliable car. If further information is needed for the mechanic we can get in contact with him and provide the necessary information.
Thank you,VOE Auto Sales

1. Im not satisfied with this response, they never fixed the car paid $450 dollars to them as well its ok for them to sell people $6500 cars that brake down the next day with a major repair and then hide behind it was as is , 2. The first day I bought the car it was my brother in law and hes not a mechanic . After they stated they fixed the car for the second time did I bring in my own mechanic and the told him what they did to the car , but the next day the car acted in the same manner , all the did was reprogram the car so it would turn off the engine light for a few miles before it come back on Im about $800 in to fixing this car now and that not including the $450 I payed VOE for the same repairs
