Read MoreI wanted to wait a while before I wrote this review, now feels like an appropriate time. I am giving this 2-stars solely because the engine checked out, price was okay ($8.5k, realistically should have been $7k), and the body/trim is decent (5/10). We went to Independence Auto and Adam to buy my little brother's first car (2010 Honda Accord 2.4L EX-L, 96k mileage). Please, BUYER BEWARE at this dealership!!! Adam clearly does not inspect vehicles at all, and does not give a discount for anything faulty you find (only offers to fix it himself at an additional cost, which after reading reviews here, you can understand why many are hesitant to let them work on the car themselves, Lord knows what work they'll actually do vs. say they did).My little brother is new to cars, so he did not notice that the brake system was completely busted (Calipers, Rotors, and Pads were all destroyed) until I did a separate test drive myself. When I approached Adam about this, he got defensive, did not believe me, and so I told him to drive it himself, and that's when he noticed it. He made us sign a waiver regarding this, and sure enough, the second day the brake alarm started to beep constantly (Thank God it made it all the way home first, some of the horror stories in the reviews definitely had us worried!). That same second day, the battery was also very loosely connected and it caused the car to not start. I had to tighten the wires myself before being able to take it to the shop. Once we brought the car to our mechanic, upon putting it on the lift, we noticed an excessive amount of rust, and that both axles were on the verge of snapping. Ended up having to pay $2400 in repairs so that it was safe to drive and could pass NYS inspection (it otherwise definitely could not have, and there is still a back left tire leak we are working on).Lastly, we ended up having to drive all the way back to NJ (140 miles round trip) once the title was ready, as we did not trust Adam to send it in the mail properly/correctly and/or on-time (there was a $120 fee if THEY lost anything in the mail, some customers did complain about title issues and not getting them on time as the temporary plate expired, so we figured we'd just mitigate the risk and get it ourselves). When we arrived for the title, he made the poor joke of saying "wow I'm surprised the car is still running". Deep down, I trust he knows what kind of shady business they are running. Hope this shows you what kind of place and person you are dealing with.All in all, this place is sketchy and Adam is extremely cocky, arrogant, obnoxious, and definitely your typical greasy phony used car salesmen (at one point he even bragged about having a lot of money saying "you want to see the bank? I'm doing good man", while negotiating price with us). If you need to buy a car, go somewhere else. However, if you do find yourself buying a car here and from Adam, please do your due diligence and if possible, bring your mechanic!!!
