    I purchased a car from Thrift Auto on December 12, 2023. The day of the purchase I was told that the car had rust on top of it but could be easily cleaned, and it needed two new tires and possibly a new battery. So when I paid for it and a couple hours later that evening the car started leaking transmission fluid. The next day I had a mechanic to see why and he said the transmission pan needed to be replaced, so I replaced it.Next, the day before Christmas I took the car to the store to get some things to wrap Christmas gifts the car broke down in front of the store. It would not crank back on. My mechanic had to get a tow to bring it to his house to replace the fuel pump it went out. And when he put the car on a lift he noticed that the car had water damage under it and it was rusted as well. He also noticed that the fuse box was rigged under the back seat, and it was a fire hazard. Now Im upset because I have children, they could have been hurt. Right after he fixed the fuel pump, the car was still acting like it wanted to quit. So I took it to Oreilly Auto Parts so they can check it on the computer and I noticed that the mileage was ******, but when I bought the car it was ****** miles on the dash and I have not been able to drive it no where so where these miles come from. I tried to go talk to the sales man about the car and they laughed in my face and said the was not going to fix anything or give me anything for the car. So far I have spent over $1200.0
