I purchased a car from Denis ( Prairie North Auto Sales Saskatoon) 2 weeks ago and I am not happy at all, he told me more then once that the junk I bought was his fathers car and he had himself done the mantinance and it was well looked after, total lie, when I made arrangements to buy this it was advertised with 300,000 km, small crack in windshield and everything else was sound
Driving home to Estevan thinking I had purchased a sound vehicle, The car has 329,000 km not the 300,00 he had said.. I noticed the brakes very spongy and the tires were garbage, couldn't even get away from a stop light .. On a brake application I almost went through an intersection into oncoming traffic, why? Brake fluid was down past fill mark half way,
Next I noticed on turns it was like standard steering, no power steering fluid, it has taken me 2 weeks to add oil everyday, then change up the reservoir to find out the power steering pump is shot.
The horn didn't work, I got pulled over by RCMP doing 119 when the speedometer said 109, why? Because 17 inch rubber on a car that should have 16 inch throw the odometer out, he never said a word... Needs to be calibrated
The car was filthy, macdonald wrappers stuffed under the drivers seat and looking out the windows on the way back home in the dark was disgusting, I am sure it was smoked in everyday all day, paper towel was yellow with smoke
I paid way too much for a car that needs a new power steering pump especially when it was such a good car, rides like a Cadillac he said.. My own car that went to SGI after an accident with 100,000 km less and 8 years older was a much better car and very well maintained by myself
I can hardly wait until I take it over the oil pit this week after he claimed he changed the oil every 3500 km. With no fluids anywhere else, including the rest our for the coolant I imagine it isn't going to be pretty
First time I have ever been ripped off buying a car on Kijiji , most car dealer are honest people, I would not recommend this place to buy a car without putting it on a hoist first
I will be putting a complaint into BBB today as I don't want to see anyone else buy an unsafe vehicle from a dishonest sales person like Denis
In short I paid 2375 for a car that people he said had been just tire kickers and now I surely know the reason why, had I not had to travel 7 hrs and been in a spot where I know no one I would have no bought this, he dropped my son and I off at McDonald's after I filled the gas tank saying he had to pick up his mother and didn't return for an hour and a half, then said he was going to drive through MD drive through for chicken nuggets then I waited in the parking lot while he ate his chicken nuggets and again the wrapper went on the floor
I should have known better and next time I will, this car is unreliable and needs some repairs, none of which he said anything about, like I said ... Totally unexceptable

IN the end he has been written up by BBB and of course he didn't reply, why because he is a liar
The power steering pump and the power steering hose have been replaced at a cost to me of 970$ plus the traction control is causing problems so it has to be turned off! Myself on a very small pension and handicapped I sure didn't deserve a creep like this ripping me off .. It just isn't fair so buyer BEWARE.. Don't believe a word he says he is a liar
