Never ever buy a car from this professional scam artist!!! He is as bad as they come. He pretends to be a nice guy and seems to be helping you to no end but as soon as you sign the paperwork and pull off the lot he will screw you over every time. He sales patched up cars, lies about warranty coverage, and denies all accountability. Thanks Peter for putting my family of four in an unsafe vehicle that had been previously wrecked. I hope my story prevents someone else from being taken advantage of and left with nothing but problems. I bought a 2010 Chevy Impala from Peter in June after my other car was unexpectedly flooded. Peter made us feel like he was really trying to help and gave us a great deal (or so I thought). I know nothing about cars so I questioned him about the vehicle and even drove it to make sure everything was okay. I even bought the warranty which Peter assured me would cover any and everything bumper to bumper with only a $100 deductible no matter what. Basically I ended up with a $10,000 price tag for the car and warranty with decent monthly payments. The car had a couple concerns which Peter promised his "mechanic" would fix in a couple days. These included a tapping from the air conditioner and issues with a headlight and tail light. When I came to get it fixed the "mechanic" claimed to have fixed the headlight and brake light and at least got the tapping to stop. Upon inspection, the brake light still did not work and the headlight eventually stopped working a couple months later. Less than two weeks after I bought it, the car would not even start. I called Peter and he said he would send someone out to fix it, however I had to pay another $100 that I didnt have after spending so much on the car already. Turns out it was the starter due to a major oil leak. I informed Peter and he did nothing. At least the car was running for the time being so we attempted to deal with it until we could put it in the shop and use the warranty. At the end of August, the headlight started dimming until it eventually stopped working completely and the transmission started slipping. I almost got rear ended when it started because I pushed the gas and nothing happened. I purchased a bulb to fix the light and after it did not work an associate came out and showed us that it was a wiring mess and the car was in a major accident. I called Peter once again and he said to bring it in. I thought he was going to make everything right but he sent me to the shop behind him and told me to use my warranty. I was a little aggravated but I thought that at least it would only be another $100 and then everything would be fixed. Wrong! The mechanic tried to fix the headlight so I could at least drive around since he couldnt really look at it for a couple of days. It worked for a few minutes after I left and then stopped again. I came back a couple days later and left it so he could take a look. When I went back, he had a laundry list of issues and a price tag of $367 before the warranty company could even look at it. Apparently my awesome warranty does not cover everything like Peter claimed. Several things had to be fixed before they could even come out to see what they would cover and I would still have to fix the rest out of pocket. Here is the list of issues: transmission servicing/ possible replacement (transmission leaking), new engine mount, burnt headlamp wiring requiring harness repair, engine leaking at pan gasket and oil filter, front bumper sensors need replacement (preventing air bag deployment in case of an accident), front passenger seat belt will not tighten in case of an accident, ETC. I was very upset and spoke with Peter about all of the issues and he was as cold as can be. He said that I should have expected issues with a used car and how was he supposed to know it had been wrecked. He was completely stoic and the greasy, selfish car salesman that you always hear about. STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

3-8-2015 Do your research and due diligence folks. Make sure to get your own "Carfax" report and check the vehicle for salvage,accidents and the mileage to make sure it matches up. Looked at 2005 Honda Element that listed with 99931k miles that liberty had. Everything was great, from contact, approval, and car customization. In fact I was ready to head over to sign the paperwork and decided to pull the "Carfax" myself. Good thing I did!! Last time the car was serviced, showed mileage of 152k, and an accident (where the vehicle was disabled enough to have to be towed away from the site), when I asked him, he said this was not on his "autocheck" report. I later recieved a text saying he returned the vehicle. I checked and the vehicle appears to be down now. Just a reminder, to always do your research and due diligence folks before you buy.

Bought a great little coupe from Peter in January. Been a month and Im pretty happy with it. Ive shown him a couple of very minor issues with the vehicle and hes been more than happy to take care of it for me. He was very honest about how his financing is done, even to the point of telling me that I should wait a bit if it wasnt to my liking and hed be able to get it right for me. Its a used car lot, so what you see is what you get (And some people should get to know Floridas AS-IS policy better before buying vehicles here) but Ive been very satisfied with my purchase and have recommended him to several friends.
